I joined Parler early on. (Noticing that many called it "par-ler" rather than using the French word "par-lay" which means, literally "to speak.") I don't remember getting a lot out of it, and then it was gone. Dave Rubin came up with Locals in 2019 and I went there. locals combined with Rumble in 2021.

Ownership and control of internet infrastructure will continue to be an issue, I would predict. But the problem is mitigated by the fact that the internet is also distributed using the cell phone network, which just about everyone wants to keep very public (its surveillance opportunities are just too seductive). I hope that open discussion can continue on these platforms, but at least one person I follow (Courtney Brown) predicts that the "bad guys" will totally control the internet in just a few more years.
