I went to Gab and it had potential. Those of us who are really badly shadow banned on Twitter were looking to go somewhere. But the anti-semitism was everywhere. Just some horrible people defending Hitler, claiming he was misunderstood, and all kinds of nonsense. You had to read the time line of anyone who followed you very carefully.
I like what Torba was trying to do, but boundaries have to be set. On Twitter I’ve tried to reclaim the word “retarded” from political correctness, but my tweets go nowhere. Thry allow the left to do as it pleases, but heavily censor the right. Gab went the other way, because any leftist would get pummeled. Torba says Gab is coming back, but I don’t believe they will.
That was my experience with Gab as well.
Got kicked off Twitter last week. Checked and was shadow banned too. I'm done with Twitter. Never did FB. Looking for other options to debate the misguided.
