The problem isn't just that they had more, though logic would suggest they did; after all, their user base are refugees from other platforms that pushed them out for extremist language, advocating for violence, conspiracy theories, etc.
It's that Parler refused to remove it.
So even if the rate of introduction of this content was the same on Parler (which I don't buy for a second, see argument above), the total concentration and visibility of it is higher because it's not taken down.
- idunno246 6y agoi imagine twitter has more in absolute terms, just due to the relative size of the two sites. I think the major difference is worse than just refusing to remove it, Parler advertised itself as the place where you can say things that most sites would moderate away, it actively encouraged it, so as a percentage it was much larger
