The servers are probably overwhelmed.

Gab and Parler servers are getting overwhelmed with traffic with new users flooding in.

Not everything is aliens or the NSA.

On any of these alternative social media sites, be patient. Most are getting overwhelmed by a big surge in new users and that will take a few days for the site admins to scale up for the new user loads.

I had problems with Parler yesterday, which have now seemed to have cleared up.

I am having problems with Gab right now, just as you describe.

Neither platform was prepared for the onslaught of new accounts that have happened in the past 48-72 hours. Both are very small “mom and pop” platforms running on a shoestring, not unlike Free Republic.

Hang in there, it will get cleared up. Don’t expect Twitter-like ability to handle tremendous spikes in traffic immediately. They will need time (and money) to expand their capacity.

They’ve been over run by new grabbers from twitter & attacks. Don’t worry about them. Torba is will be victorious!

When your user base adds 80 million overnight it tends to cause some issues. Give them a few days/weeks to get it straightened out. I will guarantee new server farms are being built at light speed. Money is being thrown at this big time and money buys scaling. They can not afford to go to the “Cloud Providers” and do it that way because you know the plug can be pulled at any time.

I joined last night when some ham radio friends decided to start a group on gab to get away from fb. It’s very slow and sometimes won’t open because of all the new volume.

ANOTHER quote from the past. Sleeping giant awoken! :)

Along with Tree of Liberty, Nuts,
I have not yet begun to fight..

He’s right. Through EVERYTHING... a first coup, destroying statues, rioting, impeachment and now the final successful coup, I see the same fancy quotes that REAL MEN made long ago.

Er, they took ACTION after the quotes.

We just embarrass ourselves at this point by quoting better men than us that actually ACTED.

To be fair, they didn’t have a laptop and Ottoman to sit and type from.

Ironically, GAB is also short for GABLINGEN, a town in Germany were Rudolph Hess took off for England and where a super secret US listening post was located.

Hmmmm. Maybe more to this?

;)
