Hmm does #Parler federate? Do they have any plans to?

@realcaseyrollins Parler makes Gab look competent

@alex
Well from what I hear they're actually successful 💁🏾‍♂️

Really I care more about being able to interact with those users on the platform than how the platform is run... #TimPool just joined #Parler like yesterday and it'd be cool to interact with him

@realcaseyrollins Point is, if Gab can't handle federation there's no way in hell Parler can. Their site has a history of being a lot buggier than Gab, which is a true accomplishment.

@alex
I think it could be possible for #Parler to succeed is if they adopt #Fediverse software that already works--perhaps hiring one to make software that looks like theirs but federates--and migrate to it. That's really where #Gab failed, the devs didn't know what they were doing. If #Parler uses better devs, who have a proven track record of making good software, they could succeed where #Gab failed

@realcaseyrollins Would be nice, but I think we honestly have a better change building a new platform than convincing them to change.
