   Mastodon vs Minds Comments

   Positive comment by Snow Code · Jun 21, 2019

   Because it is also Open Source AND it is like twitter too. Minds are like a mix of Facebook and Twitter alternative. And Mastodon is mainly a Twitter alternative.

    Gab vs Minds Comments

    Positive comment by Ehsan Mohammadi · Aug 22, 2019

    Gab has been widely described as a haven for people who have been banned from other social networks. There are also extremists as well. But that's what you get when you start extreme-censorship.

    Positive comment by keithnolan · Jun 9, 2017

    Gab supports free speech, which means that everyone should support Gab.

    Positive comment by TheClassicalLiberal · Jan 29, 2021

    Free Speech is under attack and needs to be defended. "Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. " Frederick Douglass
