Setting aside that wanting to deplatform ppl just because they joined a social medie they don't like, and with no "benefit of the doubt" makes them more of a nazi than the ppl they accuse of, their arguments are totally flawed.

Are there alt-right in Parler? Yes, as they are in every other social media. Because alt-righters are people and they do people things like any other so they go to restaurants and join social medias and watch the same tv shows as you.

So if their argument is that joining a social media that has alt-right in it makes you a nazi, they're a nazi as well since twitter has alt-right.

Does Parler have more alt-right than twitter? Probably, since it has become right wing twitter. But even if every republican was there, the amount of alt-righters is so insignificant that almost everyone there is simply your average right winger.

Now maybe their argument is the typical hyperbole "every right winger is a nazi", in which case by their mindset the would be right on their view of Parler. But with that mindset they would also lose to an ant on an IQ contest.

But even setting that aside, there are lots of reasons an artist would be there, unrelated with them agreeing with right wingers or not. For starters independent artist are always starving for clients. If being on parler gives you more clients, you may not care about their ideas

Especially since clients have gone down with covid, i don't think using every oportunity you can establishes you as a nazi.

Then there's the people who is there because they want to hear what the other side is saying and twitter became an echo chamber of its own.

Or people who want to check on those evil right wingers and screenshot what they say.

Or cases like me whom i dislike Parler and don't want a right wing echo chamber, but i want to test which bans me first between parler and Twitter XD
