Why I left Twitter, joined Parler

So much has happened today in the name of [trying to] silencing the American people and more specifically Conservative voices. The President of the United States was banned on Twitter. Once that happened people started to flock to Parler in the millions, crashing the site which was unprepared for the load on their servers. When Google noticed the masses leaving Twitter and flocking to Parler, they removed the Parler app from the Play Store in an attempt to further silence free speech.

I left Twitter and joined Parler after Twitter’s rhetoric claiming to be a non-partisan website which has banned conservatives users in the past for tweeting what they claim to be hate speech. It should be noted that the left classifies “hate speech” as anything that doesn’t strictly align with their ideology — whether or not is actually has anything to do with hate.

Parler is a website, and [was?] an application before it was banned on Google’s platform, which touts itself as a place where freedom of speech is recognized no matter your beliefs.

I will no longer send tweets from my Twitter account but have not deleted my profile completely on Twitter to preserve my username in order to direct my followers on Twitter to find me on Parler and this, my official website hosted on Medium.

It should be noted that that the Medium platform is owned by an ex-founder of Twitter, Ev Williams, but as long as voices are not silenced on Medium (in any fashion), I will continue to publish here.

Thanks for joining me in this new adventure!!
