I'm trying out Parler. While I absolutely hated having to add a phone number to sign up, a positive side effect is that I have not run into any obvious troll or bot accounts. So far, it's keeping everyone honest.
This will probably also turn out much better than Gab due to the presence of high-profile politicians.
- jki275 6y agogoogle voice phone numbers work.
- axaxs 6y agoI hope so, too. I'm not really interested in 'social' these days, but joined Gab early on out of curiosity to check it out. That didn't last long. While not everyone was bad, there existed enough racist and hateful content shown to me to make me feel sick.
- test1235 6y agoThat was a bit like voat, which tried to champion itself as a reddit alternative
- Kye 6y agoTwitter will hit you with a suspension and a demand for a phone number shortly after signing up. It hasn't helped with the troll or bot problem.
- datavirtue 6y agoReddit recently started banning for not supplying a verified email. Lost a 12 yr old account. Meh. Fired up another account and then never went back.
- smitty1e 6y agoI've seen a troll account on Parler. The account name referenced a prominent conservative pundit's anatomy in a diminutive way. We'll see how long Parler remains "unbiased".
- asdf123wtf 6y agoThe first link a friend shared with me to Parler was to a post by what looked like a qanon troll bot. Or who knows, maybe it was just a genuine believer. Either way, its unlikely that this network will elevate any conversations.
