gab dot com seems to be overloaded rn

anyone on parler?

I made an account but all I saw was boomer maga types so haven't followed anyone on it lol

appears AWS is pulling the plug on parler tonight

consequently there's a massive rush to gab, which is throwing a server overloaded error 🙃

I'm mostly just curious abt freethinkers who've joined these alternative platforms and exist outside the maga fox news boomer bubble

that and they're prime ground for infiltration / trolling 🦧

the subset of gab/parler users who I'd actually be interested in knowing is quite small (the top 2% in openness), but that's what makes the hunt to find them exciting 😄

yeah this is a good example of how I rationalize pursuing inprobable endeavors

also now there's apparently a running clock until parler goes down so it's like LIMITED TIME, HIGH STAKES now

this is how I get my kicks 👻

parler recap:

- some creative propaganda
- an embarrassing amount of nostalgia for WWII
- a few slightly interesting pagans
- no signs of zoomer energy or topwit ingenuity
- no great esoterica-inclined minds found

their search and tweet retrieval functions are already hiccupping

disappointing for twitter to lose a competitor, but character-wise, parler going down doesn't seem to be a big loss imo

best thing I found on parler

sadly posted by a qanon loser

this is legit based, shame there isn't more on this wavelength

I am on gab now

gab is banned from both app stores and doesn't let you use gmail to authenticate, so takes a little more effort

unable to post pics or gifs bc the server can't handle them rn, but I successfully published my first gab

UI is more refined than parler, however everything is slow af like being on the darknet

I'm operating under a fresh identity to avoid suspicion 🕵️
