Frequently asked questions

This section is here to provide answers to some questions that have been previously discussed on this talk page.

Q1: Why does the lead of this article say that posts on Parler often contain antisemitism?

A1: A request for comment determined that this statement should be included in the lead: Talk:Parler/Archive 2#RfC: Should "antisemitism" be removed from the lead?

Q2: Why does this article look different than articles about other social networks, like Twitter?

A2: The coverage of Parler in reliable sources is very different from the coverage of Twitter. We strive to represent fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic (WP:NPOV), and so if the sourcing is very different, the articles will be too. If you think changes need to be made to another article, please discuss them at that article's talk page. When contributing to this talk page, please keep in mind WP:OTHERCONTENT.

It is worth noting that this article is quite similar to other articles on social networks and websites which are also known for extremist userbases, such as Gab, 8chan, BitChute, etc.

The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

Transformed to a blog?[edit]

Parler.com now redirects to blog.parler.com, which looks like a news aggregator. I couldn't find any statement about the future, if any, of the social network. --Mahlerite (talk) 17:08, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also notable that every article is credited to somebody named Melissa Fine. 60.226.205.152 (talk) 13:18, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As its a blog, not a surprise.Slatersteven (talk) 13:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parler is not down[edit]

Why do you state in the article that Parler is down while it is not? What we are dealing with here is disinformation. 37.30.122.247 (talk) 15:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

source? Slatersteven (talk) 15:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slatersteven Just enter parler.com 37.30.122.247 (talk) 16:51, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That does not mean it is the same thing. We need RS saying it is. As this appears to be a blog, not a social, networking site. Slatersteven (talk) 16:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slatersteven https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/15/social-media-platform-parler-back-online-after-being-banned-by-major-tech-companies.html 37.30.122.247 (talk) 17:01, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is 2 years old, Parler was taken down this year. Slatersteven (talk) 17:09, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slatersteven source? 37.30.122.247 (talk) 17:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Its in the lede but here you go https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/parler-shut-down-temporarily-after-starboard-buys-social-media-platform-2023-04-14/. Slatersteven (talk) 17:15, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Three weeks ago -> https://cybernews.com/news/parlers-website-is-back-online-but-app-still-not-in-stores/

When informing on Parler being down you do not differentiate among blog/page/social platform.

You reduce it to the statement (exact quote) -> "parler.com currently down"

It's manipulation. 37.30.123.131 (talk) 17:58, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to just be an updated article about the old taking down, not saying it is back on line "Matze asked in a message dated Saturday, posted above a note from the company saying the platform would be restored after challenges were resolved.". Slatersteven (talk) 18:07, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Untill an RS (not talking about old news) is provided saying the social media site (not a blog using its name) is back on line I oppose any change. Slatersteven (talk) 18:08, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slatersteven OK, fine, I understand that. But do not leave "parler.com currently down" as everyone can enter parler.com. The way it is expressed now is appalling. 37.30.123.131 (talk) 19:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The statement about its downtime in the current article also cites two archives of Parler.com, and not a secondary source. So I don't see why we shouldn't update the article accordingly? RenoBun (talk) 03:19, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parler is currently owned by PDS Partners, LLC- Elise Pierotti, and Ryan Rhodes are a part of that group. https://innovation-village.com/right-wing-social-media-site-parler-to-relaunch-early-2024-ahead-of-the-presidential-election/ Correction7777 (talk) 18:05, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lets wait till after it has launched. Slatersteven (talk) 18:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: It is both unclear precisely what change you are requesting, and also not an uncontroversial change, per Slatersteven's comment. PianoDan (talk) 21:44, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
