Gab cannot possibly deliver the customer base that twitter can. Gab is also open source, so why pay for Gab?

From a technical perspective Gab sounds like a better thought out platform.

You have to remember Musk specifically stated that Twitters algorithm should be publicaly available within the last week or so.

lets say Musk buys twitter, lets trump back on and really allows free speach...

Gab brings up a very good point. Twitter relies on Google’s app store, apples app store and worse, amazon’s web servers..

they could (and will) easily parlar him.

then twitter would be worthless.

He can move twitter from amazon servers easily enough, but will the domain controller allow him to point the domain to the new servers? will they even allow it to be renewed?

the lefts control of things runs very very deep. Gab is also correct, comcast and all the other large players in the ISP market can simply block the domain and put him out of business.

I am sure Musk can get arround many of these and likely is smarter than I am (he better be) and planned for many of them(there is nothing he can do about being kicked from the app stores) but did parlar ever really recover?

Persistence is the key to winning this race.
When Christ said the Meek inherits the Earth, He was referring to those who just don’t know how to quit.

Look, I’m a member of Gab but they’re the RC cola of social messaging to Twitter’s Mexico Coke.

What’s that old saying?

Drag a billion dollars through a trailer park and you never know what you’ll turn up.

That’s not the saying?

“Gab cannot possibly deliver the customer base that twitter can. “

He lists problems with Twitter. Those problems are the reason Musk is into Twitter!

GAB doesn’t have the CIA financing that Twitter had. Everything they do is mostly self-funded. I think they will get better as time goes on, as more people sign up and other private interests buy into it.

This. There has to be a workaround to thwart interference at the highest levels.

$2 billion for a board seat on Gab?

I’m thinking that’s going to be a strong pass.

“Gab is also open source, so why pay for Gab?”

It comes with open source server farms and employees? Where can I download that package to get it ready to run tomorrow? I love freebies!

I’m just stating that Gab needs to step up their game.

The best way to help them step their game is to stay committed to them, which will allow them to make more money.

If everybody stays loyal to them, they should be eventually comparable to Twitter or better.

Torba is a raging anti-Semite. He also has a ridiculous amount of ads embedded in the threads. Rarely head there now given Gettr having everything I need in a clean platform.
