It's not about finding posts encouraging violence, it is about refusing to try to moderate that content, and your suggestion otherwise is disingenuous. If Facebook said "we are no longer going to try and moderate content that incites violence" there would obviously be blowback.
- NDizzle 6y agoIt wouldn't be such a big deal if "hurts feelings" didn't equal "incites violence". Silence is also violence. All of you lurkers will be purged as well.
- domano 6y agoI do not understand what you are saying, could you clarify?
- neogodless 6y agoRoughly translated, "everyone who isn't on my side is going to be killed by our side, which might upset you, but I would not consider that 'inciting violence'." EDIT: I misunderstood "purge" in this context. I disagree that silence on moderating content is "violence" just as I disagree that anything you disagree with is "violence." But I do not believe content will be "purged" unless it's part of a movement to unseat democracy or coordinate violent actions.
- CivBase 6y agoI disagree with what he said, but you're seemingly doing your best to make his point. He's saying that when a person don't like something, the recent trend is to just label it as "inciting violence". He then adds onto that by saying the idea of "silence is violence" means that anyone who does not speak out against the disliked thing is inherently guilty of "inciting violence" as well, so lurkers and moderates are not safe from being labeled. Again, I disagree with what he said. However, accusing his post of threatening violence against everyone with whom he disagrees does kind of support his point.
- neogodless 6y agoI may have misunderstood the grandparent post, because I'm unclear on "you lurkers will be purged." Could you translate that part for me? Are you saying "purged" to not mean removed from society?
- CivBase 6y agoRecently, many high-profile social media posts and accounts have been blocked under the pretext of "inciting violence". In that context, I understood his post as saying that lurkers would also be blocked in the same way - as in "purged from social media". I'm definitely concerned with the way he worded it, though.
- charly187 6y agoThis myth that Parler doesn't moderate is simply not true. All screenshotted accounts I could find on Buzzfeed - such as ones from @QanonLV were banned from there before it was taken down.
- bebopcowboy 6y agoDon’t bother man, the morons on this site have already decided what they believe, and it conveniently aligns with their political beliefs.
- throwaways885 6y agoHN is not full of morons. I do agree with you that Parler is generally misrepresented, but there is plenty of dissenters here. Things aren't as unbalanced as you perceive.
- hotz 6y agoThe majority of the crowd here is very left. Most alternative view points get crapped on hard.
- throwaways885 6y agoIn my experience this site still is a bastion of hardcore "free-speech-extremist" libertarians. More so than Twitter, that's for sure.

- treelovinhippie 6y agoOrly... "Parler will not knowingly allow itself to be used as a tool for crime, civil torts, or other unlawful acts. We will remove reported member content that a reasonable and objective observer would believe constitutes or evidences such activity. We may also remove the accounts of members who use our platform in this way." https://legal.parler.com/documents/guidelines.pdf https://legal.parler.com/documents/guidelines.pdf (obviously inaccessible now).
