Parler was previously shut down since authorities found out that it was used by the people who attacked the U.S. Capitol. Some of its users are currently looking for better alternatives.
Clapper is a New TikTok-Like App! Can It Replace Parler? Here's How It Works and Other Details
On the other hand, a new application called Clapper has emerged. It is a TikTok-like app that offers the same vibe since it also allows the users to be viewers or content creators. In short, this app can also be used as a starting point if you want to an influencer, just like TikTok.
However, can it be used to replace Parler? Here are its features and other details you need to know.
What is Clapper?
According to The Verge's latest report, Clapper was previously released last July 2020. It is specifically designed as a Free Speech Short Video platform. This means that the new app can be considered a TikTok clone.
Because of this, the app developer said that it will make changes to offer a lot less moderation. When you compare it to Parler, there is a huge difference since Parler's design is like Reddit's platform. This means that it is currently difficult to conclude that the new app can replace Parler.
A Chinese woman looks at her phone as Chinese Paramilitary police wear masks to protect against pollution as they stand guard during smog in Tiananmen Square on December 9, 2015 in Beijing, China. The Beijing government issued a "red alert" Sunday for the first time since new standards were introduced earlier this year as the city and many parts of northern China were shrouded in heavy pollution.
PR Underground reported that the appearance of Clapper is important today since most apps and social media platforms failed to protect and promote free and civilized speech.
"We are passionate about people being able to express themselves in open ways without having to deal with biased censors," said the company via PR Underground.
"The short video format appeals to us. Some have called clapper a more political TikTok alternative, but the fact is that our users are making interesting and thought-provoking videos on a huge range of topics," it added.
The app also explained that the users don't have to worry about anything since they are free to say whatever they want because the company won't ban their accounts.
If you are considering free speech, Clapper is a great alternative for Parler, which was previously shut down.
