The sad part is that people give it the benefit of doubt when they hear this. They’ll translate it as “it’s not that bad”. “It’s only a few steps away from OANN” “That means the first bunch of stuff is normal people talking about conservative talking points.” “Sure, not a place I’d like to hang out, but I’d see why it may need protection even if I may disagree, that’s what I’m trained to do.” Yeah no. Parler actively removes people who bring in the “liberal” point of view. I’ll even grant, that removal by ideology is a necessary tool for political moderation. But that still means that parler is an echo chamber, amplifying beliefs that the “election was stolen”, “democrats will destroy the country.”

> Parler actively removes people who bring in the “liberal” point of view. Isn’t this what is happening to conservative voices? Further do you have evidence of this? Do you know there’s gaming and other non political content on Parler? It was born out of politics so the majority of content is still focused around it. Why don’t you see it for yourself instead of letting your imagination run wild? I have been on Parler, briefly to validate all the claims of constant, unabated, hate speech and found nothing of the sort. Will I continue to use it? Unlikely, but I don’t use social media. I wouldn’t call it hotbed of right wing extremists though.
