Maybe "parlor was only used for hate" but Parler, no. There is questionable content on Parler as much as is on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

  Parlor was created in response to hate moderation on other platforms. It's not too far off to say "Parlor was created as a space for hate". Only used for hate is obviously wrong, but that doesn't change much.

    unfortunately, "hate speech" seems to be defined as "whatever makes me upset" where "me" is a group accepted by tge platform e.g. there are prolife groups that say nothing negative against any people, but get banned for explaining the facts behind abortion and who does it

      Have you been on /r/The_Donald at all? Or are you just making whatever you'd like up?

        sure, they might be hate speech, but seems no worse than what i see on daily kos however, i am talking about an entirely separate group that goes out of its way to not say anything hateful and not condone violence due to tragic occurrences in the past, yet gets banned due to pointing out inconvenient and very uncomfortable truths if free speech cannot protect uncomfortable yet unhateful speech, it is worthless

          Could you provide a couple examples of the types of groups you're referring to?
          • yters 6y ago
            yes, prolife groups in the past abortionists have been shot due to what prolifers have said, so now they go out of their way to avoid anything hateful and violence inducing, yet they are getting deplatformed en mass in the fallout from 6 Jan, which is entirely unrelated to their messaging

              Is there an example of an anti-abortion group being deplatformed that you can point me towards? I saw Reddit banned a number of subreddits on Jan 6, but I don't specifically recall any of them looking like anti-abortion subreddits.
              • yters 6y ago
                I am wrong about deplatforming in response to 6 Jan. However, prolife groups are regularly deplatformed without presenting misinformation or hate speech.

                  Can you point to one?

                      Liveaction hasn't been deplatformed from what I can see. https://twitter.com/LiveAction https://twitter.com/LiveAction https://www.facebook.com/liveaction https://www.facebook.com/liveaction Looking through their feed they have a real bug up their butt about Planned Parenthood. Well, I guess they were deplatformed a bit: https://twitter.com/LiveAction/status/1347927726150324225 https://twitter.com/LiveAction/status/1347927726150324225

    > Parlor was created in response to hate moderation on other platforms. Actually most people there seem to perceive it as an alternative to the biased nature of Twitter. They didn't want to get banned on Twitter for something that's being tolerated when done by left-leaning groups.

    > Parlor was created in response to hate moderation on other platforms. Again, not true. Parler was created in response to biased moderation of other platforms and was intended to be bipartisan.
