Dear friends First, I opened a Parler account: @TheSaker Right now I am NOT using it, just made one small test post, but I might decide to use it in the near future. So, FYI, if you want to support Parler (which is my main reason to open a Parler account to begin with), you can now follow me there too. Next, I want to let you know that I
