TMatsI registered just a couple days ago. Haven’t got much from it yet, but I assume that it will get better as more people I know join.

I don't know what techdirt is, but just look at some of the complaints from morons that have been banned.

1- Pretty much all of my leftist friends joined Parler to screw with MAGA folks, and every last one of them was banned in less than 24 hours because conservatives truly love free speech.
2- Well I got banned from Parler
3- i’ve been banned from parler what happened to freedom of speech
They are a bunch of fucking leftist trolls signing up to make trouble, so they deserve to be banned. They weren't there to have intelligent discussions.

To send a verification code to your phone to confirm you're a live person and the information matches.

They have an email address for that.
I think I'll pass.

Balzé HalzéBongino did mention on his show to please bear with them as recently they have been attempting to fix a few glitches and bring the platform up to speed with the on rush of new users.

To prevent individuals from registering multiple times, I imagine.
If we allow things like this to discourage us from joining such places, how will we ever begin to move away from the leftist-controlled mainstream?
Man up, brother.

How many phones do you have? How many email addresses do you have? My answer to those questions is 'one' and 'about a dozen, and I could have a dozen more by this evening', respectively.

Trust me, this would lead to disaster, because any site which states that they will not ban users is telling the troublemakers of the world "Do your worst." The site would be overrun by leftist troublemakers posting mountains of outrageous and obscene content. Diligent, fair, unbiased moderation is the answer.
Fair point,

I was just able to try a submission with a Safari auto generated password and got the following error message.
"Use eight or more characters with at least one capital letter, lowercase letter, number, and special character.
The provided password is not complex enough "

Not strong enough?

Endeavor to persevere. June 30, 2020, 02:11 PM
parabellumTake heart. It's an encouraging sign.
I imagine the registration process will smooth out in a matter of days, if not sooner.

Yes, get a phone number from a company from which I'm trying to distance myself entirely to sign up for a social media site I don't need, because email isn't good enough a verification for them.

Three and five, respectively, and I could have a whole passel more phone numbers in minutes, if I wanted them.
We all draw our lines where we feel best suits us.
Y'all enjoy, though.

Breitbart is a bit like that too, but it's better than the avalanche of LGQ this, and BLM that, wokeness shite you get on Twitter.

What the hell does that mean? I use it all the time. It's just an aggregate that brings me to other sites. Spam your feed? Are you talking about social media sites?
