    Gab caters more to an alt-right audience, and in no way values the speech of its opponents.

    It's dominated by far-right racists from the USA. No sufficient Moderation

    Gab was built off Mastadon. But the main servers from the people who started Mastadon "censored" Gab because they disagreed with some of the political content.

    So it is more likely that with Gab, you will not be censored for voicing opinions some people disagree with than on most Mastadon servers.

    Got kicked out recently... no reason why, cannot login, password recovery does not work and won't be able to use the same @ if willing to sign up again because it is "already taken". This looks to me like if my account has been stolen in some way a couple of months ago but I am not able to get it back again since help is just not working. Too bad.

    It is very similar to twitter, but it is decentralized. In many instances the character count is higher which is nice.

    Bastyon is a great alternative to Twitter since it does not ask users for personal email or phone number and it bypasses the censorship that traditional social medias apply. It is growing fast and I like the idea of a place with real freedom of speech
