Moderation of posts will be their downfall, morally and probably legally<p>We’ll probably also find out if the depths of society can get even weirder than /r/incel
A somewhat good move, tbh.<p>He has followers and nowhere to converse. And it's not just 1-to-many. His followers want to talk among themselves.<p>As long as he can keep the site out of a legal problem. It can be a decent hit.<p>Parlor is way too extreme.<p>Necessary disclosure: I'm in no way a trump supporter. 99% of social networks fail, but this one may have a good foundation to succeed.
Not sure how they plan on turning a profit. Twitter, reddit, et al have been working on pacifying their platforms for years in order to make them palatable places to advertise
I'm curious to see if they'll go with a Mastodon derivative with ActivityPub, as they'll likely won't be able to publish a mobile app directly tied to it if the comments are a bit too extreme for Google and Apple.
When Trump was booted from Twitter, the mantra was it one person was censored. The truth of millions downloading Parlor immediately after causing it to be the #1 downloaded app in iOS and Android app store, shows this was about millions of people not accepting censorship. Censor a few and our nation will divide. Almost like TV political news dividing our country between MSNBC vs Fox News.<p>Deplatforming is censorship. See Clubhouse being normal healthy large community speaking out loudly that they aren't accepting the deplatforming on Twitter / Facebook / YouTube.
