In fall 2020 I used to be making numerous actually dangerous life choices. I don’t know if it was the stress of the pandemic, the chaos in my private life, or my journalistic obligations to remain up on tech information, however for some cause I made a decision to join Parler. That wasn’t the largest mistake I made that 12 months, however it’s one that also haunts my inbox. My Parler account got here with an sudden perk: an invitation to the corporate’s whiny, spam-ridden e mail record.

Parler is a self described “uncancelable [sic?] free speech platform,” i.e., a social media service for conservatives that gained’t ban you for hate speech. The barely-used web site made headlines this week when Ye, previously often called Kanye West, introduced he’s shopping for the platform. The information got here days after Ye’s tweeted promise to “go death con 3 on Jewish people,” which obtained his Twitter and Instagram accounts suspended.

Agreements to purchase firms usually don’t occur in a single day, so it’s a must to think about the Parler deal has been within the works for some time. Of course, the timing is only a coincidence. Ye simply occurred to really feel like tweeting one thing that appears tailored to get your account suspended, and he simply occurred to consider it one week earlier than shopping for a social media platform that doesn’t censor what he calls “conservative opinions.” Ya’ know, conservative opinions like “Jews are bad.” Definitely not a cynical manufactured controversy. Just a giant, antisemitic coincidence.

The sporadic emails Parler sends me and the opposite sorry people on its listserv are an excellent pattern of what you’ll see in case you’re one of many few individuals who truly use the “uncancelable” social community: nastiness, numerous cry child complaining, and charlatans making an attempt to bilk harmless folks out of their cash.

Here are 5 of of the worst examples.
