A dispatch from the new censorship-defying social network in the wake of "the purge" of alt-right users on Facebook and Twitter this week.
The purge is happening. At least according to the universe of alt-right users on social media: Many of them claim that in recent days their Twitter accounts have been suspended and that their posts on Facebook are not being promoted or shared like they used to. It’s all part of a crackdown on "fake news" in the wake of reports that misleading reports shared on Facebook and Twitter helped influence the election. To many, these efforts are an overdue attempt to maintain online civility. But to others it’s blatant censorship.
"Hateful and harassment are subjective terms."
For those alt-right individuals and other social media refugees who feel that their views are suppressed, there’s a new social network that promises a digital space for completely free and unfettered communications. Gab, a platform that looks and feels like a combination of Twitter and Reddit, is meant to "put people first and promote people first," as it was described to me by its founder. And this week, it’s been attracting thousands of users, many of them alt-righters exiled from Facebook and Twitter, though its founder insists that it aims to expand beyond that community and build a more diverse audience. Even Richard Spencer, who leads the far-right National Policy Institute think tank and is widely credited with inventing the term "alt-right" had his Twitter account suspended on Tuesday and soon increased the frequency of his posts on Gab

won’t use them either...
I wish the developers would put out a Gab mobile app soon.
I would say that when people aren’t being banned on twitter for “kill Trump” or “ kill the Trumpers”, but those mentioning #pizzagate get banned there is a purge. It’s not just alt right folks.
I am on gab, but still learning my way around.
Where did the term “alt-right” come from? I’m tired of it already. Twitter sucks.
How do you like gab, so far?
I guess I haven't pissed off the right people. I'll try harder.

I like it okay. Following people from twitter that are migrating..Plus Milo Y is there, and that’s nice since he got kicked off Twitter first.
Is Trump on it?
Looks like the author is trying to equate freedom of speech with racism. How Orwellian.
So does my dog. :-)
I tried to register and their site says my email is already registered there...but when I go to request a password it says my email isn’t registered.
Guess they don’t want me there. \:
I tried to join and there appears to be a waiting list:
Done! You’re #151533 in the waiting list.
It came from the alt left
We do this every election. We allow the MSM and the left to define our people and candidates. There is no such thing as “ALT RIGHT”

If you own any Twitter stock, sell it soon, while it is still worth something.
