I had stopped posting on Parler a while back. It kept crashing and was ridiculously slow. It just never seemed to recover after AWS killed it. However, since Kanye West is buying it, I'll start posting there again. If he actually invests some coin in it, it could be a fabulous platform. Besides, a lack of competition is precisely what granted Big Tech it's power to play "Thought Police." The more competition in the social media space, the better.
