Gab was great in the beginnings, but hijacked by the anti-semites. Im not Jewish, but the attacks in GAB caused me to walk away 2 months ago. So much for free speech when it turns to hate.
Gab has a neat feature where you can mute users. I don’t like the Jewish hate posts so I mute the posters. Must agree that there are a lot of them out there.
thanks for the info. I signed up for Gab but never actually created an account.
I can see lots of anti Semites still on Twitter. Some on the alt right but a hell of a lot on the left. Of course, the left’s hateful views are totally acceptable.
They will be going after the chans next. So next shooter is a chan poster is my guess.
Compare free speech to freedom of the press. FR has freedom of the press - meaning that Jim Robinson can publish what he wants to, and not publish what he doesnt.The implication of freedom of the press exercised by Jim Robinson is that FR is edited to be, and remain, a site at which to read and (within JRs understanding and perspective) write conservative commentary. If your idea of conservative wont fit in with JRs perspective . . . well, you have the option of finding a site that does - or make your own site, just like JR did. But understand that a great deal of conservatism does fit within JRs boundaries, and as a consequence FR has accumulated an audience which wont be easy to match.
OTOH freedom of speech free of all editing defaults easily to a disgusting level not only of verbiage but also of graphics. Can you say, public bathroom wall level of discourse? I knew you could.
I believe a lot of the anti sematic and racist comments are media maters shills... the idea is to make Gab, voat and other free speech sites repugnant to post on.... I believe that there are media mater shills that post on free republic. you don’t need that many to influence the tone on a social media site. I believe the only reason that the shill s don’t overwhelm free republic is that Jim Robinson gives them and others the boot when they are disruptive to the flow of conservative ideas and discussion something that does not happen on gab or voat.
