Well, It seems that millions of voices are moving around. Since "Big Tech" threatened to remove the Parler platform from the Amazon cloud servers, others are being overwhelmed with sign-ups.

Twitter shares dive after Trump account suspension
Shares of Twitter Inc slumped 7% on Monday, on course to knock off about $2.5 billion from the market value of the social media company after it permanently suspended the account of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The slide came as some Republicans hit out over the weekend at the platform for gagging one of its most watched participants, with traders also pointing to signs that the affair was further fuelling calls for greater regulation of Big Tech.

Parler is gone.
You can still see what the idiots are saying on thedonald.win. It’s being moderated a bit more now but who knows. They might get shut down too if they can’t keep their posters from promoting violence.
You are running a bit late with your news. This has already happened and they are being rounding up.Quote:

Russian dissident Alexei Navalny criticizes Trump Twitter ban
The Kremlin critic said the precedent will be exploited by the enemies of freedom of speech around the world. He also accused Twitter of allowing conspiracy theorists to continue peddling false information.
Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny on Saturday criticized Twitter for banning US President Donald Trump from the social platform following Wednesday's attack at the US Capitol in Washington, DC.
In a Twitter thread, Navalny said he thinks the ban is "an unacceptable act of censorship."

"This precedent will be exploited by the enemies of freedom of speech around the world. In Russia as well. Every time when they need to silence someone, they will say: 'this is just common practice, even Trump got blocked on Twitter,'" Navalny wrote.
Twitter's double standards?
The Kremlin critic said that although Twitter is a private company, "we have seen many examples in Russian and China of such private companies becoming the state's best friends and the enablers when it comes to censorship."
He complained that "cold-blooded murderers (Putin or Maduro) and liars and thieves (Medvedev)" have Twitter accounts.

Yeah, but the president himself was doing the peddling of false information. What to do about that?Quote:

No, you are missing the point. Trump and his enablers are on social media saying the election was rigged when it was not. He lost and cannot admit the fact. Trump has fanatical followers who believe him and want to overthrow the government to keep him in power. Trump followers are using social media to coordinate attacks and mayhem not talk politics. See the latest FBI report.
The unfolding of ‘home-grown fascism’ in Capitol assault
WASHINGTON (AP) — Under battle flags bearing Donald Trump’s name, the Capitol’s attackers pinned a bloodied police officer in a doorway, his twisted face and screams captured on video. They mortally wounded another officer with a blunt weapon and body-slammed a third over a railing into the crowd.
“Hang Mike Pence!” the insurrectionists chanted as they pressed inside, beating police with pipes. They demanded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s whereabouts, too. They hunted any and all lawmakers: “Where are they?” Outside, makeshift gallows stood, complete with sturdy wooden steps and the noose. Guns and pipe bombs had been stashed in the vicinity.
Only days later is the extent of the danger from one of the darkest episodes in American democracy coming into focus. The sinister nature of the assault has become evident, betraying the crowd as a force determined to occupy the inner sanctums of Congress and run down leaders — Trump’s vice president and the Democratic House speaker among them.
This was not just a collection of Trump supporters with MAGA bling caught up in a wave.

Talk-Radio Network to Hosts: Tone Down Election Fraud Rhetoric or You’re Gone
Radio giant Cumulus Media, which employs many of the biggest right-wing talk-radio hosts in America, has warned its on-air personalities that they need to immediately stop peddling baseless claims that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump or else face getting yanked off the air.
“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Cumulus executive vice president of content Brian Philips wrote in an internal memo that was first reported by Inside Music Media. Philips added that the company “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’”
The memo was first distributed on Wednesday, the same day Trump incited a MAGA mob to violently storm the U.S. Capitol in an effort to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory. Prior to the memo, Cumulus had remained silent as its top hosts—namely Mark Levin and Dan Bongino, who are also Fox News contributors—pushed conspiracies and lies that Trump was the victim of widespread voter fraud.
In fact, the day before the Capitol riots, Levin took to his show to fume that Congress’ routine certification of Biden’s electoral votes was “tyranny” while shouting that the “framers of the Constitution” wouldn’t have allowed it.
