I appreciate what Gab is trying to do, but the dude's framing and language don't do him any favors. Normies are never going to voluntarily migrate to a platform while he's making claims that big tech is serving Satan. Comes off as unhinged.

I reluctantly agree with you. Ruqqus is doing is right but still needs to attract more people as it’s turning into what all alt tech turns into: a right wing echo chamber. Which is great for me cause I enjoy it but I don’t want to ONLY talk about policies and SJWs.

Exactly. The biggest thing I notice is missing from every tech alternative is gaming content or entertainment based content. Usually the cute stuff and cat stuff is missing also. But really what is needed is not an alternative youtube or twitter. What is needed is an alternative advertising platform. The money all comes from advertising and without that most of the companies will just barely scrape by. Anywhere you have eyes, advertisers will come, but there isn't a free-speech ad company that I know of. And when I say free-speech I mean an advertisement company that simply puts ads on any content, not just the hand picked favorites chosen by YouTube moderators but like YouTube used to do when YouTube first exploded with profit.

It’s on purpose to attract a certain crowd, look at their Twitter.

Yeah it's unfortunate since it's a great platform but he goes heavy on the rhetoric and he's a self admitted tribalist. I don't think he's thought through his philosophical or political ideas properly but he's freedom centric for the most part which is good. I like his aesthetic Christian memes too

I think it's funny that people consider 'evil' and 'serving satan' not to be the same. If he wasn't a Christian nut, I would say that's just one way to phrase evil that anyone can use, but since he does post Christian crap all the time it's hard not imagine someone literally thinking someone is serving satan. There is enough Christian nuts out that giving Christianity a bad name that the later is believable.

Silent? Nah, we're pretty good calling the Biden administration an unelected coup to their faces.

I would take any alternative to twitter but if I had a choice I would like it not to be gab.

What's wrong with Gab?

The CEO is completely crazy according to the article you posted, that's good enough for me.

Absolutely nothing. He's a hardcore Christian and unapologetic. They cannot remove him because gab uses their own servers. He refuses to delete any speech, but also refuses pornography of any kind to be posted. It scares the shit out of the left because it's conservative and wholesome, but allows discussion of the JQ.

The CEO is just very Christian, but tbh the platform is fantastic

The dude seems super obnoxious and militant and I get the feeling he wouldn't hesitate to censor things he doesn't like.

Provide a reason or be labeled a shill faggot.

Reminds me that the Old World Order has to create a network of banks that is immune from deplatforming.

Andrew Torba is a fucking cringe lord

Someone should create a reverse Twitter that only allows people that were banned from Twitter to join

And Gab is entirely too comfortable with priests buttfucking children
