Gab.ai is up

Me

[ClockDoc]

Gab.ai is back up. I just logged in the url is https://gab.ai/home Now to start shifting away from Twitter.

Ivanka Trump · @Ivanka-Trump is the only Trump listed based on a search for Trump.

My first post, moderators please fix & advise me if needed.

[ClockDoc]

Would love to see them get filled with conservative content.

Trump needs to at least have someone echo all posts to GAB

It will appear he is preparing for the big move and lite a fire under twits ass!.

[Fresh Wind]

Glad to see Twitter exiles Thomas Wictor and ImperatorRex there.

I noticed that it no longer works on my browser of choice (Vivaldi). Works on Chrome, though.

This is the kind of stuff that lowers the quality of the site

Conspiracy theory stuff and I am NOT following this person. This person evidently followed me and now I have to go "mute" him/her.

I haven't been on gab in months and I now have 72 notifications, most all of which are "so and so followed you". That means I see whatever they post on my feed. If I don't want to see it, I have to "mute" all 72 of them. It seems very backwards to me. Sometimes I'd get on gab and have some real nasty stuff on my feed because some unknown jackass decided to follow me. New people just click "follow" on any name they see to build up followers. It's a major pita and makes the system high maintenance for the user.

Why would someone want to be on a social network where every time you sign in, you have to spend 5-10 minutes "muting" people? The above zuckerberg/rothschild conspiracy stuff is mild compared to some of the crap. (Stupid F*&^%ing N!&&ers) is something I've run across quite a bit but spelled out fully. Imagine being at work and having that pop up on your screen. Same with the "Jews are running the work, Goyim wants to enslave us all" type of thing. Oh yeah, and the world is flat btw.

So now I either spend half an hour "muting" up to 72 people/kids or just sign off and forget about gab

> most all of which are “so and so followed you”. That means I see whatever they post on my feed.

That’s not how it works. You see only the people you follow on your feed.

[Pollard]

The site isn’t even working right. Feed won’t fully load. Notifications page won’t load. Tried to post and got error. Went to sign out and got error.

I wish them luck

[RKV]

I checked out Thomas Wictor’s posts there and they are fine.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I just posted on Gab

This is systematic oppression by Big Tech.

First conservatives are told go build your own.

Then Google systematically oppresses their site in search results, preventing ads. Facebook and other Big Tech sites censor the group’s social media profiles and sharing of content from that site.

Now Gab.ai is held liable for content posted on its site and driven away. Yet Facebook isn’t held liable for liberal bullies sending death threats. It doesn’t consider Jew hatred a problem, while censoring ex-Muslims and pro-Israel content. Twitter’s “trust and safety council” had no problem with death threats against conservatives, ex-Muslims, ex-gays, Jews, whites, and men. And no one is shutting down Twitter for the hate speech they permit.

Big Tech is so big that their corporate decisions violate the civil rights of whole groups.

There are several solutions. One is saying they can’t censor groups they don’t like. We can’t trust them in this regard, because they’ve set up multiple “hurdles” like downranking, demonetiziation, etc.

The other solution is breaking them up and forcing them to tolerate the competition like Gab.AI. We could sue Twitter and Google’s collusion to censor gab.AI, since Google has a special data mining relationship with Twitter. We can assume that Google throttled Gab.ai simply to protect its business relationship with Twitter.

Liberals used to say they were afraid of big business because they’d oppress people. Common horror stories include systematically denying people food and air, starting pandemics while holding the cure. But when Big Businesses are shown to have systematically oppressed groups liberals are prejudiced against, they have no problem with it. So oppression by liberals is considered OK as long as they’re the ones doing the oppression.

That's how it's always worked for me. In fact, I clicked on that guy's name who posted that meme and his page has a follow button visible for me. If I was already following him, that button would say unfollow.

I think it might be possible that someone I do follow reposted it but it doesn't show as that. It shows as an original post, not so and so reposted...

That's ok. I'm reminded why I hadn't logged in for months. It used to freeze my browser quite often. Today, it's just not working well at all and people are posting about it.

The dude needs to find some better coders or something. It's never worked smoothly for me. Always some little glitch in the system.

That second error was me trying to go to some guy's page to see if I'm following and if so, unfollow, if not, mute because he just posted something about "that n!@@er from Isreal who tried to steal our internet" with the "N" word fully spelled out of course.

How can I possibly take gab seriously when it's so broken, I can't even unfollow or mute this guy? As much as I'd like to see twitter go the way of myspace, gab ain't the one that's gonna make that happen imho.

I logged out 20 minutes ago but got an error. Closed the tab, went back 5 minutes later and didn't have to log in because I was still logged in. So broken I can't log out?

Never was ready for prime time as far as I could tell. If a huge migration from twitter to gab did happen, I'm quite sure it would break gab.

It was all right before the deplatforming and they literally just got back online yesterday. A little bit of leeway in bringing it all back to full operation is reasonable to give.

[Salgak]

That sounds awfully familiar.

Some of you may recall the “Sad Puppies” controversy in Science Fiction, where conservative fans were accused of “rigging the vote”, because we organized to get works we thought worthy nominated for the Hugo Award.

One of the common responses was “The Hugo is ours, go create your own award. And thus, was born the Dragon Award, given at DragonCon.

Now the “trüfen” claim the Dragon is illegitimate. . .

This is weird, I never used to have to sign in; all my Gab stuff would just be waiting for me.

Do I have to get a different handle and sign-up all over again..?

[Fresh Wind]

It won’t work on my phone running Opera, but works with Firefox both on my phone and desktop.

[ClockDoc]

My login for gab.ai worked just fine. I did need to re-login to work with gab.com

Now both sites are safely in LastPass.
