Why bother providing an anecdote like this when we have mountains of empirical evidence about the content on Parler? And that evidence directly counters your assertion.

The claims are that Parler’s primary purpose was to accommodate evildoers, but it only takes a single counter example to invalidate such a broad claim.

My example and personal experience does so.

Producing a bunch of bad posts that they had not yet deleted also doesn’t prove the claim.

Just as the never-deleted “Trump severed head” picture doesn’t prove evil intent by Twitter, et.al.

Perhaps they just hadn’t gotten to them all. Perhaps their user-driven moderation scheme didn’t scale.

I’m getting fairly tired of being impugned by generalizations; I personally didn’t join Parler to plan evil; I just didn’t want to be on a site where everyone seemed to hate me.

So, I am a counter-example that invalidates the wildly general claim.

That is all.
