Gab

I've been very involved in social media of all sorts from the start, and nothing has impressed me more than what gab is building. I'm looking forward to it continuing its constant incremental growth. I deeply appreciate its stand for free speech and big tech autonomy.

I have been a premium member of Gab for a few years now and I can tell you in the age of digital censorship, a decent sized web platform which provides an avenue to unrestricted free speech is a rare thing indeed.
Most of us are aware the force exerted upon anything which doesn't tow the widening politically correct narrative is so excessive it can damage reputations, end careers, end relationships and break up families. In retaliation Gab has provided a level of anonymity while allowing for free expression, this is good and something we should welcome.
The commenters here who reference "hate speech" are the same ones who want to restrict free speech. These people are anathema to freedom itself.

Remember the saying: "I don't agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Long live free speech.

My review of Gab is a huge refreshment from the stupid fact checkers on facebook and the banning on twitter that police your every move. Gab is easy to use just as easy as Fakebook and the people on there are open minded. It is not a trump haven either. Anything goes and everyone has the right to speak their opinion. I gave it 5 Stars if there were more I would rate it much Higher...

Gab is F#ckin garbage. I signed up for pro account and attempted to start a business (selling war trophies) on their failed marketplace. Do not sign up for gab its turned into a garbage pile. I couldn't even delete my account I had to email customer support. Terrible. Andrews platform has fallen by the wayside. He has created another hater of his platform. I am now a canvassing advocate against GAB. Great work Andrew Torba.

It's the only site I know of that comes closest to a free speech platform. Many do not like it cuz it has many jew haters and racists among it's users. But you can express what you like there. The problem with gab is that the admins are technically challenged and cannot run a website without constant freezes, pages that do not load, redirects to pages u did not ask for to sell u something. There are some indications that posts are being delayed due to moderator approval which is not entirely consistent with the pledge of free speech. Also replies to posts are either inoperative or are not threaded properly. Their servers/connection/coding is SLOW and cumbersome.

I'm a newly joined Gab Member (unpaid subscriber) and am somewhat satisfied with the user experience on Gab. I did a bit of research on the background of the entity Gab AI, Inc and found some interesting information. Gab AI is a Foreign Owner Publicly Traded Corp, reg in Delaware, offices in TX, based out of Anguilla. The characterize themselves as a "Information Retrieval Service", but openly market the site as a social media platform. The company has 1 employee of record, and almost no funds in the bank. Andrew Robert Torba the CEO of Gab touts the platform as the beacon of free speech. I found his relative's member profiles on the site and they actively and openly campaign for the silencing of gab members that they do not agree with ( on issues) whilst touting it as free and welcome to all. Hypocrisy aside, it has potential, no complaints regarding functionality. I enjoy my usage of it and at this point am staying.

Paid into it & lost big time. Literally spent 1 week trying to post, gain followers, & follow back. Gab claims they have 30 million followers & soon to increase to 100 million. If they can't handle technical issues with 30 million followers, how the hell are they going to keep the site functioning with 100 million? Don't WASTE your money, TIME, & sense of PEACE!

I met a stalker on gab hes been stalking me for 3 months i made a report to torba/gab n what did Andrew do bann me instead of my stalker that im really in fear of ive been trying 3 months to get this stalker to leave me alone we met on gab n hes sending porn to my email almost 20 a day. Andrew Torba or any of gab followers WOULD NOT help me
For your own protection stay away from gab.he protecting stalkers n porn freaks i know because it happening to me this very day i was know as dirtylove its my 3rd account on gab in last 3 months trying to get rid of my stalker.it didnt work even with a bad username im so sick about this i just wanted some help from gab n got none

I joined Gab a year ago as an alternative to Facebook. I soon realised that Gab is not about free speech. It is about a certain type of right-wing, Bible belt, pro-Trumpism spech. People who dare to express an opinion outside this strict worldview are systematically bullied and insulted. Gab's CEO Andrew Torba is religious lunatic whose weekly rants would make Hitler turn in his grave. Gab is not about free speech. It is about his speech.

Gab has made some serious improvements! It's the only alternative social media site that actually compares to what you're used to in quality and structure

Claims they are about free speech but will block you when they disagree with what you say. This site is full of people who just spew hate and horible ideals

Minority religious nuts trying to fundamentally change America by merging church and state. Boosted by Russian trolls. Regularly suggests violence is necessary to carry out "God's plan".

Plenty of hate speech...
Seems you gotta upgrade to a premium account to get any traction here.
So much for free speech, avoid this turkey, a complete P O S

Gab claims to be a Christian site that has free speech. It is nothing but a place where the KKK and Anti Semetic people spew their hatred. The owner, Mr. Torba claims to be Christian but spews the same rhetoric. I became so angry that I notified him, but I will not go back. SHAMEFUL!

GAB... claims to be free speech! What a CROCK! I made 3 anti-Muslim posts, which I got zero "thumbs down" for, but, I DID get several "thumbs up" AND positive comments about. GAB removed me COMPLETELY after the FIRST DAY! So much for the "FREE SPEECH" that they are claiming! They are just another PARLER or FARCEBOOK! Don't waste your time with them...

Made an account to troll the Qultist and it started out fun made my account libtears4lube (follow meeee) hahaha these people had no idea i was trolling them and really thought the crazy $#*! i was saying was "compelling" which gives light to how $#*!ING STUPID the average users are that no one batted an eye to my bat$#*! comments. Anyways the trolling was fun but the website in itself is garbage... Links dont work, comments dont post, notifications wont show up... the site is a hot steamy $#*! but thats probably because no one wants to advertise on their platform and theyre broke... Biden 2020!

First of all I am a trump supporter
And an atheist
So went on gab
Opening an account was easy
However
I found the site is unusable
The only person posting is the ceo
Spouting religious crap all day and
talking about himself
No way to see what other users are saying
Only a few people show up in trending
(the same ones everyday)
Dissenter feed is trash

I closed my account because
Gab has NOTHING to offer
A complete waste of time

Also the claim of no nsfw content is a blatent lie

Tonight, I was able to get a Gab account. I do not know why I was unable to get an account for so long; but if other people were having the same problem, all I can say is "try it now."

I've been on GAB now for awhile. Are there Racist comments? Absolutely! I've also been on Twitter Are their Racist comments there? ABSOLUTELY!

So what's the difference? The difference is this. Im a big boy, an adult, I live in the USA and I don't need Twitter or anyone else CENSORING WHAT I CAN SEE. Unlike Twitter who enforces what your Permited to SEE, SAY AND THINK ABOUT. Gab does not censor these comments, it's up to the user to censor them. ITS THE USERS CHOICE. It's what you feel, not some unknown person trying to force their world view upon you.
It's a lil thing called FREE SPEECH, A lil something our framers thought might be important. So important it's the First Amendment!
Just something for all you censorship advocates to think about.

I don't recommend it to anyone they say it's free speech when it's not because they have a report button and block button and a point system how is that free speech?

They hate Germans and will not allow the truth of WW2 to be discussed freely. I was kicked out b/c of my pro Hitler stance. I do what i do on the web to educate TRUTHFULLY about European History I am not a white supremist, nor do i wish jews to die. Neither did Adolf Hitler!

I write this review as a Constitutional Conservative. This place is one large toxic echo chamber. There's nothing but profanity laced Biden memes, Trump won posts, and every single conspiracy you can think of. There is no commentary or social engagement. You can't find a legitimate person to carry on a conversation with. People use animated fake profile photos with ridiculous usernames, yet they preach about standing up and fighting back... but they do so from a fake name and photo? Contradictory you think? There are no content creators here (nature, wildlife videos). That's because they get no attention. It's politics or bust. By the way, groups that have 60,000 members have posts that have maybe 5 to 6 likes. These membership numbers are suspicious. That's almost statistically impossible. There are men using profile photos of pretty women and fake female names. Posting photoshopped photos with quotes just to get attention. One is named (certainhope) who uses a profile photo of celebrity Lucy Hale but pretends its her/his photo. Yet, nobody in 2 years seems to notice or care

Gab owners tout how they created a "free speech" platform free from big tech, yet it's only a for-profit, paywalled, fork/clone of Mastodon for right-wingers and fascists. They are duping people for profit, just like Trump. Ask yourself, why would you pay for something when it is already free? Anyone can install Mastodon just like Gab did, with little to no programming experience. This is why they currently can't scale, yet blame it on "sophisticated attacks" from "Big Tech". Fact is, Gab has not built anything. If people want freedom, the solution is not to rely on another centralized system that is easily scraped and CAN be shutdown.

While Gab claims they are free from "Big Tech," they currently use Cloudflare, a Silicon Valley DNS proxy and DDoS mitigation service. They have banned numerous similar sites to Gab and will most likely shutdown Gab in the near future. Those sophisticated attacks? Easily blocked or rate limited. Their real issue is most likely that they have no real data center with redundant fiber drops and Tier 1 bandwidth and simply begging for Bitcoin.

Their web browser? Just another clone/fork of another project others developed, better known as Brave. They are literally just rebranding popular open source technology developed by others and grifting the unintelligent.
