Parler, which was supposed to be the respectable alternative to Twitter has been out of action for some time and seems to be in the grips of a civil war. Ownership has just fired CEO John Maze over mission orientation issues. Meanwhile Gab is croaking away:
Free speech social media platform Gab received 272 million visits during the month of January, outperforming legacy media competition such as NBC News, The Wall Street Journal, Breitbart, and TMZ by a wide margin. Gab’s success is particularly remarkable, considering the fact that the website has been “deplatformed” from mobile app stores, PayPal, and email marketing services.
On Vox Day's recommendation we joined Gab in 2016. Back then it took a couple of weeks to get cleared as it was literately just Eleanor at the home office going through accounts one at a time.
Sure Gab is the wild west, the Mos Eisley Cantina, even Wolf's Lair. You can and will meet some freaks, weirdos, Nazis, white nationalists, people who tell you to die Jew die, which is merely German for the Jew the, as we all know. Gab's calmed down actually. And what if it hasn't? So what? Grow up, man boy and put your big boy pants on. Who said the internet had to be nice?
Gab has been thrown of it's platform, thrown off it's server, thrown off its payment processor and de-registrared only to come back stronger than ever. CEO Andrew Torba simply will not give in. Now he's got his own servers, email system and web browser. Vive le Gab! Follow us there.
Here's an interview Torba did with Mark Dice:
