I believe that the rich Chinese guy Steve Bannon is associated with is part of the opposition to the CCP. Andrew Torba does not mention that.

Gotta read the fine print;

This truly is warfare.

and very few on our side even know what’s going on

They have started a PR campaign last week being on several podcasts

They even started started a fundraiser and last time I checked it was up to $25,000

They are likely to be planning to go after Truth Socials ad revenue

I got an unsolicited advert for GETTR yesterday. They must have gotten my email from my Trump connection.

“Need newbies too.”

ABSOLUTELY. It is well past time to hand off the baton to the next generation before the baton is lost.

Well said and explained. Same over at our place. No third party connections at all. As you know analytics and such can be done in house on your own server. The only problem we have with third party are the embed videos. To allow the embedding also comes the attached API connections, I can’t block the connection and make it one way and still make them work.

A lot of people on Gab are crazy. I saw a meme of someone comparing the Amish to MTG, and how MTG is fake. I hope GETTR and Trump’s social media can sue if their servers are pulled.

There are stand-alone players but that means putting a bunch of mp4 files on your server and they take up a lot of space quickly.

Yep, I could add the file extension to our existing player but the massive storage is the problem, they go to the directory by default. Even though our host claims unlimited database storage, I know they are going to holler if it starts to become youtube type load.

We could probably do “some” for member’s personal stuff if I could figure out how to send them to the database instead of a directory folder. Our directory capacity “IS” limited and would fill up in no time if we allowed video files like you say.

I can’t get an answer exactly how to send uploads to the database instead of the directory from phpBB... I am going to try making a table and reroute them to it. But as you know they are going to pull slower from the database than the directory because of the translation back and forth.

So is Gab the “go-to” choice for conservative social media until Trump can get his platform going?

Nope. Neither is Parler, who's succumbed to Apple's demands and the "woke" crowd.

I read about them. They are not likable characters but it shouldn’t matter. GETTR has some explaining to do.

I will be relying on Truth-Social coupled with Rumble.
