After an extended period of working with them it seems that Amazon decided they weren't making a good faith effort with a sub-par community moderation system. Community moderation of directed hate or specific threats of violence only works if a majority of the community believes that content shouldn't be there, and that concept is antithetical to Parler's philosophy. Pretty much by definition of the crowd it attracts, the crowd is going to be unwilling to flag or delete posts. Heck, from what I've read about their user on-boarding process, people basically start out partly shadow-banned and have to have enough comment green-lit in order to become full member. This means, given the high (and somewhat extreme) conservative population there, there's a built-in filter that selects for additional and ever-more extreme views. Again, antithetical to community moderation. Regardless of the above, small staff is not a sufficient excuse. Plenty of businesses have hurdles they have to jump over in order to operate legally. If you don't have the staff for it, you don't have what it takes to operate in that industry. Considering that countless other forums large & small manage this task though, it doesn't seem a high barrier of entry.
