Torba is a David Horowitz alumni, spoke at his freedom center, haha. Honeypot. Place is sooo buggy and won't work if you want to find anything controversial. The entire point of Gab is to deradicalize dissidents and keep them screaming at everyone but the criminals at the top. You want to find out about Zionism, search and you get ads for Laura Loomer or Trump. Lmao.
In March, he gave everybody who was not a pro member 1 week to pay to join or you wouldn't be able to post memes or photos. He made people feel like leeches so many people left, including me. Go to the website without signing in and you will see the hate for Jewish people all over the comments. I had these people blocked when I was a member so I didn't realize how awful the whole website had gotten until I did quit. Stay away unless that is your sort of thing.
I can honestly say that no social media platform comes even close to GAB.com, a place where absolute free speech is practiced not just in theory. Not only that, most people there love God. There are almost no ungodly people there and many of them know about the real problem in this world, if you know what I mean.
Gab has helped my young business find clients, share my personal convictions openly, and connect with like-minded business owners.
There's a lot of misleading articles online about the platform, and I found them to be inaccurate after checking things out for myself. Free speech is truly celebrated and all are welcome to participate.
I offer content writing services for small business owners, and I've formed a healthcare (my niche) related group where honest discussions around the industry are taking place.
It's easy to mute or block those who use foul or suggestive language you morally don't agree with. Without moderation by the Gab team, the community does a good enough job of rooting out bad characters.
I came in skeptical but am left with the impression this platform is here to stay. They continue to attract new users daily and their "stock" will continue to soar!
Last night I made a page for my Cannabis company here in Canada. We are a legit business and do everything by the book. I posted twice, just explaining what our shop is and has for products, and they blocked me...
Now, I would think this was fine BUT, I have a Twitter, Facebook & Instagram for my business and I have never been blocked (almost like they realize it's legal) anyway, GAB advertises is self as free speech, and allows people to post what they want. I beg to differ. You guys suck! I'll never be back, and I hope you go under. Pathetic.
Looked pretty good at first but then you start noticing a pattern of hate and anti semitism, this might as well be an extension of storm front. Also the app is so slow since it's not a native iOS or android phone app, deleted my account immediately.
If you want a healthy dose of death threats towards anyone with a differing viewpoint and antisemitism behind political candidates pages, gab is the place to go. I left a few nice comments for a candidate running for mayor in my state and guarantee i'll probably be kicked off despite the "freedom of speech" they mention. It's a pathetic website and is really an eye opener towards the real extremist, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, bible bumping morons who somehow think their hateful views will land them in heaven. Again, if you want to see the dark side of the American conservatives, the true thoughts in their heads, log into gab and go to any republicans page. Apparently they want the antisemitists as their support base.
I'm a conservative and respect Christians. However, I am not a Christian and I clearly wasn't welcome on this site. I can't believe that Gab is good for Christianity. Gab makes Christians look hateful, angry, and dangerous. I know many Christians and they are positive, moral people. I tried to unsubscribe and it is close to impossible. They want you to send a letter via snail mail as opposed to clicking on the unsubscribe like every other site. Your membership is permanent and will follow you to the grave.
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.
Useless as a screen door on a submarine! Overwhelming email spam and when you blacklist them they find a way to even bypass my banning their IP address that these idiots use. I have reported them and I am going all out to stop them and their harassing me! I have sent emails and also a letter requesting that they cease and completely send to me as I have clicked numerous time to "UNSUBSCRIBE" If I would have known that this harassing me from gab.com, I would never have even been a part of their mess.
Do you feel out of trend with what the newest derogatory slang is on the internet? Come to Gab! We have you covered.
This Free Speech platform really does not give a F about what you write or call people. Because FREEDOM.
So while you'll find some fantastic crypto bros, and interesting trolls, it's just a big old mess. You know you're in once someone threatens to bash your head in or yell at you about some conspiracy.
But you know what? It's fun as hell...
I thought that free speech would be great on a conservative site. I was wrong. Racists (in the true sense of the word) have no problem spewing their venomous slurs, and liberals are free to make as many stupid comments as is humanly possible. 12 hours is definitely a record for deleting my account anywhere, and I give 'gab' all the credit.
It is black hating, Jew hating, Muslim hating... everything that is NOT white! If you haven't seen the movie Imperium, watch it NOW! Everything said in the movie is echoed on GAB!
"Remind $#*!s their not liked by the white race" ( did I also mention they don't know the difference between they're and their?)
"They didn't put ENOUGH bullets into that $#*!!"
"You stupid $#*!ing $#*!s need to stop calling me "porky' and all that other $#*!. I AM HEALTHY! You fools know nothing about me. Stop judging me."
"You're healthy enough for 3 people, because you're the size of 3 people."
And then there are the endless conspiracy theories offered up by a YouTube video pretending to be proof!
The platform is a cesspool of hate. It is where anyone who feels victimized goes to complain.
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".
From what I see it is mainly trolls acting like the worst parts of society.
There's very few legitimate people you can have a decent chat with, at times it literally feels like a a bunch of crazy people trying to say the most offensive thing and the first person to cave and take offence get to be harassed.
We need a conservative site but we also need one that works as hopefully we'd have smarter people putting together sites than GAB... Can't log on after creating an account and it just sits there and churns. Again, somehow I hope there are smarter people out there on our side.
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.
You will literally get banned from this website faster than twitter. The creator cares about "freedom of speech" when it's speech he agrees with. I got deleted for having an opinion. I didn't spam, I didn't promote violence, I didn't share any inappropriate pictures. I just had an opinion that establishment conservatives don't like. So my account was deactivated.
October 2018 update: Things at Gab have been good since they got rid of the spammers. I like Gab and I hope they continue to grow. There is a lot of exchange of good /news & information going on that I cannot imagine Twitter/facebook would allow. The average Gab user is better informed because they can see through the propaganda.
Answer: Because it said free speech no censoring no being asked to leave the social platform. I believed them! Silly me!
