<== Site of the Week for 2021-02-22 ==>

Parler

Parler.com is a social media platform modeled on Twitter. The site foolishly built on the Amazon Web Services network.

The sited billed itself as a "free speech" alternative to Twitter. It became a popular hangout for people who were banned from Twitter for expressing Conservative opinions.

In a dramatic move, AWS, Google and Apple pulled a triple punch on the site in early 2021. Google and Apple pulled their app from their distribution network and AWS canceled their web hosting service.

Parler.com came back to life in late February 2021.

While I am not a fan of Trump. I dislike censorship; So, I decided to create an account with the yintercept handle.

I will drop some posts to discuss my interpretation of classical liberalism.

I will use my account on PeakD for long form posts and Parler.com for short form posts.

PeakD is a social network which rewards posts with the HIVE cryptocurrency. One has to pay three HIVE to create a HIVE account. I happen to have a score of account creation tokens in back pocket.

If someone DMed me on Parler.com, I would be happy to send them an account creation token.
