I was about to ask if you have been livig under a rock the last year and a half. There was such a
fuss made when they banned Parler from the App stores of mainstream platforms, and Amazon also
killed their hosting.

They basically colluded to kill Parler. And for practical purposes they did.

It is scary to see what big corpos can do.

Can't any one producer simply provide a download link for the
app (.APK)? And the app doesn not necessarily have to be
exclusive to the App stores.

For example.. if interested in Parler, visit its own official
site, click on download link for app. Simple.

As we were talking on FSXNet, users are dumb beyond what people imagines. A whole lot
of people does not know how to download an APK from third party sites. Also, installing them in your phone makes Android complain and throw scary messages which
put regulars away.

Parler comitted the mistake of making their application Amazon dependent too, so when
Amazon kicked them out they had to rebuild outside. That was as much of a killer.

it wasnt really the app that was the problem. their website was unusable. it was slow and things werent working out.

it was being ddos'd , tons of people were signing up and i dont think the servers could handle it.

They actually have a website login and they have a phone app you can download, But now that Bongino is no longer involved with Parler it's basically a dead zone on parler.

Ever notice how Democrats hate free speech and militantly try to shut it down like they did parler?
If you don't agree with their point of view some become very agressive like on the subject of Covid.

the media was calling it a white nationalist site, nazi site and other things. when i went on there i just saw a site with normal people and just a few democrats that were trying to destroy it from the inside.

if democrats could push a button and disappear everyone who doesnt think like them, they certainly would. democrats and liberals do not appreciate diversity
and freedom of thought.
