They will all probably just jump to minds or another twitter alternative. Idea that you are going to squash this by shutting them down won't work. You actually have to talk to these people and prove them wrong in a way that isn't going to cause them to close up.

No. I don't. It's not my responsibility to make them better people. That is their responsibility.

The point is to keep others from being radicalized by deplatforming those already too far gone.

Only reason I can see to keep an app like that around is to keep tabs on potential terrorists.

If they keep threatening fucking terrorism, yes.

The political leanings are irrelevant, the violence is what keeps getting them shut down.

Parler will probably always be small compared to more mainstream services. First off, Parler is just a circle jerk, and if there is anything Trumpies need, is a place to project, and telling people who already more or less agree with you the same bullshit over and over isn't really growing the movement. It's just a safe space, and while the shit they spew there is disgusting, the fact that it's not a real platform of influence, and that it is just a safe space shows how irrelevant they are.

Secondly, Parler asks for a lot of private information, and while I'm sure people will willingly give that information up, in the grand scheme of things your average individual won't. Convenience almost always overrides in this situation.

I'm not saying Parler won't get a big number of people, but it'll probably be a fraction compared to Twitter, and I imagine there will still be a lot of shitheads that use Twitter to project, troll, or play the victim while keeping their more vile bullshit in a place that won't scrutinize.

Yes, I said that. What would you propose? Just letting them all go back to their hate filled lives? They attempted to overthrow the government, and people died. I firmly believe they should be brought to justice.

I'm not saying it is your job, but at the end of the day, they aren't going anywhere. And unless you're in favor of inevitable blood letting you should be in favor of a dialog that involves both sides. Even if it's a messy shit show like Twitter.

The problem here is they don't want to hear anything else, so talking to them is completely pointless. All they want to hear is what their cult leader tells them. Everything else is in one ear and out the other.

You have to always keep asking the question of "then what"

Unless you think these people's values only go so far as to what phone they own. How long till either caves, and allows it because it's inevitable, and they might as well capitalize? If neither of them give, how long till someone fills the void of demand and offers devices that will?

And yes before you say it, I know I'm getting way ahead of myself. But these are important things to contemplate

I didn't in fact. You are referring to another users stomp out comment? It doesn't inherently mean murder. Stomp out oppression is a phrase, and I don't know how you would murder oppression as it isn't alive to begin with.

I have no sympathy for these insurrectionists who have ruined their futures. They are being located and arrested as they should be. That was my statement on it, nothing more.

People have been trying to talk to these radicals since a black man got into the White House, and this is the end result of those efforts. At a certain point you just have to admit that these people are still so assmad about that that they let a fat orange fuck pull their strings into trying to violate democracy.

There is no talking to these people anymore.

They need professional deradicalization, and you can't do that if they're constantly living in a sea of misinformation. Just like you can't get drug addict off of drugs when their neighbors on both sides are dealers, you can't ween these people off of bullshit until you cut them off, and that necessarily could involve locking them up and giving them professional help.

I understand why twitter banned trump, but I have a legitimate fear that the repercussions of that decision may make the riot Wednesday look like a small footnote in history by comparison.

Fearing the unknown shouldn't mean you become complacent with what is currently happening.

And letting them have their way doesn't? You think "Just ignore them" works? Worked real fucking well with the Nazis didn't it?

Showing them they aren't welcome does more good than harm. No, they're not going to magically vanish. It will, however, be significantly harder for them fuck things up when they can't do it in open society.

These people came out of hiding when we got a president that decided to "Just hear them out". Even during Obama's time, these people didn't dare attack the capitol.

Good, we've seen time and time again that deplatforming these facists/racists dirtbags works. Obviously they'll always find somewhere, probably on the dark web, to chat, but considering most people struggled to sideload the parler app the other day any dark web replacement will get 1/10th of the traffic.

There is also no discussion here, the only people who would oppose this are secretly facist/racist themselves and smart/ashamed enough to not admit it, or worse they're facist/racist sympathizers who either deny the threat they pose or think they can "talk them out of it", which is just plausible deniability fertilizer for these degenerates.

I'm not promoting complacency. To the contrary I think we all need to think of these things now more than ever.

You can't just think "we've shut down parler, guess that's the end of that"

That's just silly shit. Honestly I'm really just rambling that we may be reaching the point of division that won't be reversible without violence on a mass scale

Parler was not moderating its content and allowing wild domestic terror threats to run completely rampant and organise.

You know, as a righty I'm sure you'd agree that a private company can deny service for whatever reason, and that denying service because of domestic terror threats is pretty reasonable all things considered, right?
