    I like what GAB use to be, just like Torba himself, now after selling out to the Peter Thiel network (small hat network of CIA & Mossad operatives and Billionaire donors of the same kosher cloth; lookup Palantir) he equally f'd his only great success, GAB.

    I don't like any of it, but in this particular case, the website Gab. But obviously not for the same reason dirtbag, genocidal, anti-White, Anti-Christian racists don't like it.

Comment summary: Gab is often described as a platform emphasizing free speech and offering an alternative to mainstream social media. While some users appreciate its open environment and lack of censorship, others criticize it for being dominated by right-wing rhetoric, with allegations of fostering extremist content. Users highlight issues like shadow banning and political bias. Gab's association with controversial incidents has sparked debate about its role as a free speech platform, leading to mixed reviews.

Gab is good on paper, but it's nothing more than a circle-jerk of an specific theme. I joined thinking it was an alternative to twitter and all the universe of topics around, but gab is nothing but politics, and worse of all, American politics where you're either on one side or you're the enemy.

DireChocobo

you're either on one side or you're the enemy.

So yeah, exactly like Twitter

Gab kills.

This is not a joke.

On October 27, 2018, a man named Robert Bowers entered the Tree of Life*Or L'Simcha synagogue, which it shared with Dor Hadash and New Light. At the end of that day, eleven Jews lay dead, including a doctor who rushed to help, two disabled brothers, and so many others. A Holocaust survivor was a few minutes late and so was spared. It was the deadliest antisemitic attack on American soil. Ever.

And the shooter posted on Gab.

And the shooter was radicalized by Gab.

Nor was this an outlier. Gab users posted polls following it. Politico posted a good article: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/10/29/inside-the-online-cesspool-of-anti-semitism-that-housed-robert-bowers-221949/. Highlights: in one poll, 35 percent of Gabbers supported freaking genocide against Jews; twenty-five percent supported Mr. Bowers, the murderer; and other disturbing statistics.

If you use Gab, you tolerate antisemitism.

If you tolerate antisemitism, you are an antisemite.

Therefore, if you use Gab, you are an antisemite.

If you are something, I get to state that you are that thing.

Therefore, if you use Gab, I get to call you antisemitic.

DireChocobo

Sweet, I might start using it again. Thanks for the recommendation.

"If you are in favor of free speech you are an anti-Semite."

No bro, being in favor of free speech doesn't mean you hate Jews.

And the fact that a crazy dude used the site doesn't mean it radicalized him. You would think maybe a guy in his 20s could be radicalized from a website, but a 50-year-old dude? Stop fear mongering.

Gab is dying now due to the wonderful idea of charging people to post memes. Traffic is down by about 70%, engagement has always been low. While you may have to worry about running afoul of T&C on other social media, at least they are free.

DireChocobo

Torba blew it all to hell!

Pipkin Rahl

Due to the low traffic and losing money, he's now allowed free users to post images as long as they don't go over 50mb a day.

Most based and redpilled social network in the Internet. Wokes can't help but cry about it.

I don't use Gab because it's an echo chamber for conservatives. However, I respect that it respects free speech. And it's open-source. Too bad there isn't a mainstream site like Gab. The same idea with a better user-base. Unfortunately, with most of these smaller sites, you have echo chambers. And then you have decentralized ones like Mastadon who are anti-free speech.

Update: it appears Gab has become a honeypot. They don't allow you to access with a VPN, Tor, etc.

And it has become redundant now that X allows free speech to the same extent.

DireChocobo

Liberalism depends on endless censorship to even exist.
