Gab has a rating of 1.8 stars from 70 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about Gab most frequently mention free speech problems. Gab ranks 480th among Social Network sites.
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...

I've been using gab for several months. At first it was slow due to the number of people who were migrating from other platforms. It is now running great as they have beefed up their infrastructure. Free speech for all. They WILL NOT block you unless you are doing something illegal or dangerous. If you don't like something someone posts then you have to block them.

I have been having problems connecting with gab.ai for two weeks. I can log on but not permitted to make changes to my profile. Having issues posting. Reporting the problems but receiving no response.
I have temporarily given up on gab.ai as a platform until I receive better answers. I am extremely disappointed.
I'm using Parler and it's working great, absolutely no problems.

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.

They have improved the site, now faster and easier to login. However they still will not allow tor or proxies often. COnstantly getting that crap from cloudflaire "one more step" bs. No censorship which is very rare on the net nowadays. They still need to work on their webpage to make it easier to use without bugs.

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

I signed up for Gab a few months and have been trying for weeks to confirm my email. Out of a dozen attempts on three time did the validation request reach my email and all three times there was a reponse "something is not right". After watch the CEO push his superstition and not seeing hard any posts I deleted my account today.
After finally getting in, I find there are several atheist pages on this site even though the owner claims to be a christrian. Many of the so called christians troll these sites and is normal for the they name call and insult because they cannot back up their comments with evidence or facts,\.
I quit the site yerterday.
Tip for consumers:
Stay away

I was banned from GAB for exposing real crimes of the #Deepstate
( I censored the censored contents myself, so people can see the truth even censored) on children's!
They never responded, sent 3 emails, got no response at all!
I got banned without a warning, the warnings spams appeared at the same day i was ban, how useful it is!
Gab is also FULL OF NAZIS, WHITE SUPREMACIST & RACIST activist so it's really easy to spot them they wave the nazi flag everywhere, talking crap about people of color!
Andrew Torba NEVER respond to their followers if you ask something!
GAB is, SLOW, not a real app, just a crap website shortcut on your smartphone!
REFRESH contents is completely CRAP, LOT of bugs, like not working fine, on Huawei smartphones, contents & design of gab are cut not centered!
GAB IS NOT A FREE SPEECH, PURE LIE!
My last message to Torba:
"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals!"
Tip for consumers:
do not use it !

Gab claims to NOT censor free speech but they do... White supremacy sympathizer company!
Gab will threaten your account when white supremacists are harassing berating and threatening you. They also openly ALLOW promotions of Nazi gatherings and are in full support of Nazi related materials. Gabis a dump of emotionally insecure lil Nazi wanna be's. Gab allows hate speech of minority groups but retaliates if you mention white supremacy or Nazi's using threat intimidation and more to try to "keep you in Hitler's lines of delusion". Gab sucks... NOT worth the upgrade $$ and will malfunction often while using it. Horrible company and has no value to offer anyone other than Nazi's and white supremacists...
Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site unless you love hatred, racism and white supremacy.

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!
Tip for consumers:
If you want to be frustrated or waste your time & money then join up. 30 million users on the non-functioning site with 100 million to be expected soon. If they can't handle 30 million users, how the hell are they going to handle 100 million?

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.

I paid $99 initially to join Gab about a year and a half ago. I would NEVER pay again. At the start, I had over 1800 written replies to a one paragraph comment on one post. I only had a few hundred followers at the time. Now I have 2.5 thousand followers and am lucky to get 10 interactions. I post original content and articles. I do not see the people I follow and want to see and they do not see me. I was censored and removed once already since the cutesy emoticons arrived. Do not trust the platform if you value your privacy. It is collecting data that will eventually be used against you in some way. It is the same censoring that is used by Fakebook and Twittler. Today I could not post a comment or share a well written paragraph. The message was "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE OR COMMENT ON THIS POST..." GAB IS HEAVILY CENSORED BY SHADOW BANNING!
Tip for consumers:
Use Gab at your own risk. It appears to promote hate speech. Saying something is not censored when it is may not be illegal but it should be.

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
Tip for consumers:
There is no app for this social media, as it’s to keep it from being deplatformed. You can download the a link directly to your phone’s background.

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...
Tip for consumers:
Don't sign up for this FARCE....because it is a COMPLETE waste of time!

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

don't waste your time
