You still cannot threaten physical violence. This imaginary prospect that 'free speech' includes threats is stupid. And of course any individual still can block

You still cannot threaten physical violence. This imaginary prospect that 'free speech' includes threats is stupid. And of course any individual still can block you. It is literally the same as Twitter.
- balls187 6y ago> It is literally the same as Twitter. Pretty much. What I find troubling is that despite containing the same cesspool of vile content, Twitter never got booted from Google and Apple App stores, and AWS.
- franklampard 6y ago> The same cesspool of vile content You are troubling if you really find that
- balls187 6y agoTook me less than 30 seconds to type in a racial slur into Twitter's search bar and find it. And I don't even have a twitter account.
- franklampard 6y agoIf you report them they don’t get removed on Twitter? Without a Twitter account you claim that Twitter has the same vile content?
- jeanvaljean2463 6y agoYou can report, but it takes weeks sometimes for the content to get actioned.

- wnevets 6y agoPlease send me twitter links of people conspiring to commit violence so I can report them.

- whimsicalism 6y agoI've reported plenty of people saying awful things about killing black people & jews on Twitter. It's definitely there.
- chalst 6y agoI've had a good experience with flagging bad posts and users: about 3/4 of the time the accounts I report get suspended. I only go after the really nasty accounts, though.
- whimsicalism 6y agoI have had poor experience with suspension, good experience with removal.
- balls187 6y agoTwitter has a search feature. Also this was the very reason Donald Trump's account was finally banned, despite YEARS of that rhetoric.
- Dig1t 6y agoHere are some interesting ones: https://twitter.com/MonkeyWrenchATX/status/1316225388905926657 https://twitter.com/MonkeyWrenchATX/status/13162253889059266... https://twitter.com/MonkeyWrenchATX/status/1308983484288045058 https://twitter.com/MonkeyWrenchATX/status/13089834842880450... https://twitter.com/Windstalker361/status/1291502217590120448 https://twitter.com/Windstalker361/status/129150221759012044... https://twitter.com/ScothSenpai/status/1311436929351790592 https://twitter.com/ScothSenpai/status/1311436929351790592 I agree Parler is/was shit and yay for its death, but there IS a non-trivial amount of extremist stuff on Twitter as well and IMO letting this stuff persist just creates further division.
- webmaven 6y ago> What I find troubling is that despite containing the same cesspool of vile content, Twitter never got booted from Google and Apple App stores, and AWS. The difference being that on Parler the 'cesspool' as you call it is all there is, or at least it is the main attraction. On Twitter it is easy enough to find, but an average user mostly does have to go looking for it, or at least be following someone who goes looking for it. Twitter also does make efforts to drain the cesspool, although it can certainly be debated whether those efforts are sufficient or even being made in good faith.
- balls187 6y agoOkay, I see that POV--that Twitter is got a pass because it's worst content is just a by-product of their platform, and Parler didn't because it's worst content was the feature of their platform.
