The ‘Free Speech’ Platform Parler Is as Bad as Expected
I joined incognito to check it out, so you don’t have to.
You have probably heard of Parler, where some “free speech” advocates go when they’re kicked off mainstream social media for their views. That includes Ye (formerly known as Kanye), who recently faced backlash over anti-Semitic comments. He is now reportedly planning to buy the entire Parler platform.
I joined Parler as an experiment recently, just to see how dark it is inside. Of course, I’m using a fake profile (which I may reveal in the future), but you can rest assured it is sufficiently America First with all the stars and stripes.
The content is exactly what you might expect
The site looks pretty much exactly like Twitter, with some of the actions renamed (for example, you “parley” instead of “tweet.”) As expected, there are a lot of posts about God, America, and boobs draped in American flags. Its tone is openly angry at “liberals” perceived to restrict their rights, as demonstrated by its sidebar news feed.
