A different take on Parler's connection (or not) to the events of 6 Jan 2021:

That's just, like, his opinion man.

Let's see what comes out of this data dump before getting too sanguine about loss of "free speech".


> "free speech".

On this topic, I've seen reports on Twitter and Reddit of people who don't fit Parler's "prescribed worldview" being banned.

Not so free after all.


How much free speech do you have on this site? Why don't you try agitating for violence here and see what happens.

After all, it's just speech right?


I would expect to be flagged, and then banned, and rightfully so.

I was just pointing out that Parler is nowhere near as "free" as it claims to be.


I misread your comment, my apologies.


free speech is a human right, but it's limited (in the declaration of human rights, maybe read it?!) to things that dont hurt public peace, that dont negatively impact someone else's rights, etc.


To be clear, I am not defending Parler, at all.

I was actually condemning them for not even living up to the standards they claim to profess, in addition to their other issues.


I got that now, I misunderstood you, apologies. I was just really excited to share this knowledge!


Fair enough, it's a pretty cool, not very well known piece of info!


Didn't they recently take down Trump affiliate Lin Wood's post about executing Pence?


[flagged]


I gotta say I read your comment and I immediately knew whose byline would be on the other side and I wish I could say I was wrong.


Would you mind expanding on this? Something in this article prompted you to write this, but I honestly don't see what. Can you explain it like I'm 5?


Which of the things he said are you asserting are inaccurate?
