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.
