As Twitter labeled tweet after tweet from President Donald Trump in recent days, some conservatives decided they'd had enough.
"TRUMP NEEDS TO GET ACTIVE ON PARLER, THEY WONT CENSOR HIM THERE," one user wrote.
"So long Twitter friends~exiting all big techs & switching to PARLER!" wrote another.
And there were plenty more. Distrust of the major social media platforms among some Trump supporters came to a boil around the election as Twitter and Facebook — already the targets of complaints about liberal bias — began to take swift and severe action on election-related misinformation. More than a few Republican politicians echoed the sentiments.

Bye Felicia.
This deserved a thread, huh Becky?
Totally threadworthy.
The Exodus of the Butthurt is supposed to be Friday. One of my conservative friends is trying to beat the rush. My timeline is full of them asking for help with their Parler tech issues.
Yes, I went on Facebook. Searched on Google. Heard my multicolored hair with piercing coworker in the break room. I know this narrative.
That an app has rocketed to the most downloaded app in a matter of days? Driven entirely by conservatives who are butthurt about reality and getting their propaganda fact checked?
You bet your ass.
This turd soup will spawn some insane theories, and probably push more of your right-wingers into acts of violence.
WrongdomGuy is top of the list on probable mass shooter.
He's legit triggered by party affiliation and uses caps to prove a point.
^ "i want my echo chamber of confused mentally challenged idiots who only agree with me!"
He's a woke guy
they're called es
I will be glad if all the conservanuts move. BTW, every conservative friend I have thinks its time for Trump to concede.
In Poland.
Was there a little fraud? Probably. Wingnuts like boutons and random guy were so invested in TDS they would do anything to get rid of him. Was it enough to fix the election? Nope. Biden won. Trump needs to get the over it.
"a little fraud"
The Big Tech Is A Threat To Our Country thread hurts his feelings.
You cannot comprehend what it takes to fight, being a submissive white voter
Did you kneel and thank black women today for saving Democracy?
you've never been in a fight in your life.
A black woman would kick your weak white ass.
Foldren folds up with women too, sad.
Go to El Paso foldren, meet some women or test them and report back.
Or are you scared of covid and women?
Logic, and asking for evidence can sure sound onerous to delusional faithful.
Wonder why that is.
Friendly neighborhood tech nerd here. If there are any of my friends who are considering Parler, I'd like to share a couple of thoughts. The platform has never released a list of its owners and is not actively seeking VC investment, despite having no revenue model and an active staff of 30. Estimate it costs $1-$2 million per month to operate, which is being paid for by someone.
The verification process (to make sure you are not a troll) requires an upload of the front and back of your DL. That creates a pretty healthy honeypot for hackers as such credentials are useful for iden y theft. Also, since a large number of Parler users seem to be trending to violent rhetoric, it attaches their calls for violence or other potential evidence to their verified account and DL.
Finally, while we don't know who owns it, or who is funding it, one of the largest user groups prior to October was loyalists to the Saudi Crown Prince. This suggests that funding is likely foreign en y driven. My support for global economics aside, it seems like a combination that does not mesh with the beliefs of the people joining and continues a trend line of technology-enabled US political influence by foreign groups or intelligence services.
Make your own decisions. But get the facts on the platform.
All the Trumpers I know are flocking to join this Social Media platform
This was copied. I am not sure if it’s validity. But always research sites before accessing them.
conservative friends my own age have by and large been the same (not including random s who i tangentially know but see on social media)
its the older ones, particularly relatives (who digest fox daily) that are still all aboard the "stolen election... trump will still win" train
