“... the gang of grifters around former President Trump raised $1 billion dollars from a bunch of satanic hedge funds...”

Hyperbole much?

[sigh] It gets to wearing a WEE bit thin.

I’ve got an account over there at Gab; I was just on today.
I keep hoping things will plane out, but it’s chaotic and there’s a pervasive anti-semitic undertone that Torba does NOTHING to calm.

So, then today in this email he says this:

“We already know from pervious reporting that Rumble changed their terms of service the day Trump joined the platform to ban “hate speech” and “anti-semitism.” In other words, their terms of service now not only mirror that of Big Tech platforms, but take it one step further by explicitly banning “anti-semitism” which means any criticism, humor, mockery, or critique of Jews and Israel.”

So, he bashed Rumble for instituting bans on both “hate speech” and “anti-semitism” but only really takes them to task on the ban on anti-semitism, the definition of which he butchers.

I’m thinkin’ that’s damned telling, right there.

Da Hell does Torba care if a totally different platform bars anti-semitic content, anyway? Not his circus; not his monkeys, yet there he is crying in his beer over it.

“BAD Rumble. Bad, bad, BAD Rumble. Won’t let anybody rip the Jews no mo. Woobie, woobie, woobie. Poor platform-less anti-semites been sold down the river again. Woobie, woobie, woobie. Po, po, pitiful me.”

I’ve kept my account at Gab sort of as a back burner thing; hoping to see things settle. With stuff like this coming right from the top... I’m not very hopeful.

The only president who fought for the middle class, and all this article can do is bad-mouth him.

Yeah I got sick of blocking people who constantly post cartoon pics of “Goyim” the Jew and blaming everything in the world on Jews. Also a lot of true racists there who use the term “f-——g n——r” constantly.

That’s beyond free speech. I haven’t been on gab on a couple of years because of that bs that’s allowed to continue. He allows actual hate speech. Let’s go Torba.

You have a point but I got sick of mewe because it’s a million little closed off groups. It’s like those high school cliques. Also got sick of joining a group that says no ads yet the admin or a co-admin posts nothing but ads. That’s after having to answer 4-5 questions to be ‘accepted’ into the ‘clubhouse’. Very teenage like atmosphere.

As time wears on, I become more tired of the incessant messages and emails asking me to donate to Trump and those he has endorsed

I take it you did not bid on the signed Herschel Walker football?

With all due respect free speech is free speech, even if you (and I) don’t like the contents. Hate speech is a made up term to infringe upon free speech. You only have to spend 5 minutes around a group of black people in a social situation to hear “the N word” multiple times. Frankly, being told what words I can and cannot say by the same people who use it as part of their daily lexicon, is absurd and inherently racist.

On a related note, any criticism of Israel or someone that is Jewish is considered “anti-Semitic”, even when it clearly isn’t. Take for example the ADL’s stance on unlimited illegal immigration into America, and their own decidedly different stance for Israel. Apparently it’s “anti-Semitic” to bring this up, because heaven forbid we call out anti-American rhetoric simply because they are a member of a protected class.

Torba can and does come across as a bit of an ass at times, but people call him out on it right there on his own platform and they don’t get banned for it. That’s free speech.

The Soros owned ADL spends plenty of time protecting leftist antisemites. They don't protect Israel's borders.
There is nothing antisemitic about calling out the positions or behavior of individual Jews, unless you are using this to attack all Jews. If you oppose Israeli policies, you aren't antisemitic. If you oppose its existance you are.
Grievance is rotting your mind and soul. Ironically, the bahviour you are whinning about is based on grievance. Be the smarter person and grow up instead of onanizing only to lies.

Who are you claiming I have a grievance with, and what am I “whinning” about?
