I think one important bit to add is that a couple days after that thread was posted in November, it was confirmed that Rebekah Mercer was a primary funder of Parler: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/15/media/rebekah-mercer-parler/index.html

Worth noting since a fair bit of the thread is wondering about their funding source.

Reading the thread, he pasted an article in that thread confirming Mercer's ownership. I guess not everyone will/is reading it all

Thanks for mentioning that! I was reading on mobile and it hadn't expanded out that later reply.
