'Parler faces the same constraints conservatives fled on Twitter and Facebook'

Why do people feel so threatened by people expressing themselves without opaque moderation?

I see people constantly posting hyperbole that this is the most dangerous thing in modern times and yet can’t find any concrete examples of anything negative besides feelings.

And yet history is full of examples of dictators and oppressive regimes that suppress and control thought and communication.

Science fiction is full of mega corporations that foresee much of the same.

Is this really the society we want to live in?

Third thread on Patler in less than 24 hours. What’s going on?

Agreed. It's too much.

I think some people are afraid of a candidate falsely declaring victory/fraud on platforms without moderation. Also, some of us have friends/family-members who are getting kind of weird over even the youtube conspiracy rabbit-holes.

It's really the logical conclusion of the "deplatforming" debate, but I don't see how it's is any different than 4chan.

Parler is trending in the broader discussion so it makes sense it would spill into HN as it’s a social media site. Nothing more.

clearly not tho

Meet BS central!!
