The new Parler thread - Parler 3.0 discussion

[Kirtto]

For the Kiwis who are using or have used the new version of Parler. How is it? What is the current moderation like? What is the main usurbase and demographic using it? How active or inactive is the app overall?

What the hell is Parler?

Can you eat it?

No, instead it was bought jointly by the previous VP, a conservative Christian activist and some other guy

Only relevant to right wingers too spicy to remain unbanned on Twitter but too dumb to use some other platform.

I haven't used it, but even if it is up permanently this time, isn't it too little too late for a number of reasons? Over the past five or so years, the market for alternative social media has been flooded others like Gab, Minds, even Truth Social (which only has one influencer anyone gives a shit about). Add to that what Elon Musk has done with Twitter (whether we believe he's genuine or not) and you have even less oxygen for yet another micro-blogging site whose only claim is being a (mostly) free speech platform. Unless they have something compelling, I'll stick with my Twitter troll accounts, neglected Gab account, and periodically poke my head in Truth Social if I feel like seeing what Orange Man is up to.

No thanks.
There are enough cuckservative MIGApedes here for a lifetime, I don't need Parler.

I think the his current fight with the Brazilian government proves he is genuine but the problem is that his moderation style or his staff is not truly capable of getting rid of the truly insane Troons who made twitter their home

It seems Parler is also attempting to attract some Alt-tub and TikTok audience by allowing you to post long term videos and shorts now:
