> "the things people post there" You mean, the things a tiny handful of people post there. Most posters are center-right and don't advocate violence. I would also note that there's been plenty of talk of violence against conservatives on left-leaning platforms, Twitter especially but many others. These people are never called out even if they talk about "rounding them up and putting them in camps" and similar Nazi-like talk, even killing them seems to be permissible. I've reported lots of such tweets and sometimes they're taken down, other times, not.

> You mean, the things a tiny handful of people post there. Most posters are center-right and don't advocate violence. Do they also condemn or apply moderation to violence being advocated? Or is it condoned? Honest question, I have not even remotely invested enough time (nor do I plan to do so) to understand this facet. > I've reported lots of such tweets and sometimes they're taken down, other times, not. I agree that such messages should be taken down and condemned just the same.

  I'm saying that violence is not condoned on the Parler platform. I was a moderator for a while and this is quite specific. You can get on there and say Trump is an idiot or Trump is a saint and you will not be silenced. But you can't say "so-and-so should be killed" that's a total violation of TOS and will get you removed from the site.

    I'm not familiar with Parler, but places like that in general, people just find the closest of threat / incite that passes moderation. And everyone who frequents there knows what is implied. My personal "favorite" of such: "this country is not safe for you". Not a threat, just stating a fact.

Are you actually on Parler? It doesn't take 100% support for the actual malicious act think of it like a funnel. Say 45% support their party 70% believes in the lie that the election was stolen 20% believes that violence is warranted 10% is willing to do violence. Start with a population of over 330M and you get over 2 million insurgents. Peace requires those funnel steps to be way smaller.
