I just popped over to GETTR to see what the hullabaloo was about.

It appears to be Parker 2.0.

Sign up and there is zero effort to try to understand one’s interests to propose who might be a good follow.

They just propose a list of people as follows:

It is a who’s who of… well… you can guess knowing that GETTR is reportedly funded by Guo Wengui and the CEO is Jason Miller.

I see some on fintwit have decided to go over. I expect anyone who has been self-censoring on Twitter but aching to fly their freak flag may do so.

The whole thing strikes me as a big data op to collect data on people who will vote GOP, then to later influence fence-sitters.

People say Twitter is an ‘echo chamber’. It can be.

I find it to be a collection of echo chambers. There are lots. It’s a very big Venn. If one curates well, one can surf among them.

If one interacts but in principle blocks those who might disagree (or know better), one constructs one’s own echo chamber, marketing to one’s own ego.

If one only lurks, it is a personal input-only content feed. There are plenty who seek out sources in order to hear what

they want to hear (I mean geez… who on earth would go to OANN, Newsmax, or Dailycaller, or similar (I am sure there are left wing sites which are similar) to get diversified and unbiased content?) rather than seek learning.

But Parler was/is a single-themed echo chamber and

GETTR seems - at the moment - to be Parler 2.0 w/o Trump as President, but with similar biases and types of people saying “Let’s all move and show them what’s what!”

It’ll be interesting to see if fintwit - which rarely runs into the problem of ‘cancellation’ - moves en masse.

That is obviously “Parler 2.0”
