Are all of the people here who are saying that parler is full of all sorts of bad things actually on the website, or are you just sortof assuming that?

I went to go look at the site, and it requires me to sign in to do anything, and that requires a phone number. I don't want to give them my phone number.

Have you guys all seriously gone and signed up for accounts, given these people your phone number, and actually gone looking around?

I have family members who use this website. They're not neo nazis who are planning political violence, and I know for a fact that they would be mortified to know of somebody who fit that description in their social group. They're your standard issue Irish Catholics from northern Minnesota who heard that conservatives weren't allowed on twitter anymore, so they went and signed up for parler accounts (a petty revolution, but there isn't a lot to do in N. Minnesota in January except ice fish and snowmobile).
