I was never a twit.
Don’t do Fecebook, either.

I’m not on any social networks but I agree that conservatives should abandon Twitter and start multiple alternatives.

Hilarious. Not sure if this was intentional on your behalf (pretty sure it was :).) But I embellish it . . . FECESBOOK! And yeah. I do like it too with the more crass name for feces as well!!! :D

Why allow liberals to control the narrative on there?

They shadowbanned this guy who has been doing great analyses of the intel op mounted against the Trump campaign:

Anyone interested in the skullduggery of the deep state against Trump should read this guy.

Does Gab.ai have an app? I cannot find it on google store or apple store. Is it web based only?

AS I have said before, a fun idea would to be to create a browser plug-in...or a modified open-source browser like Mozilla to place an overlay on top of Twitter and Facebook.

A blatantly conservative overlay that would display all deleted and shadowbanned info.

It would drive them crazy and it’s totally legal.

It’s all just data, you can pull down the data and present it anyway you like.

Users could join a list to have their posts logged by a web-spider and the overlay would make that data impossible for Twit or FB to hide.

Such a plugin would become very popular.

Milo’s stuff, including new posts, would be up right now at his old Twitter url using the overlay.

You could tie it to the persons gab account and just echo it to their old twitter url if you desired.

You could allow users to design their own bot functions...sorta like the bots on reddit.

It’s all just p2p, web spider tech, bot tech, text parsing...etc

It is time to for conservatives, libertarians, ex-Muslims and others to sue Twitter for viewpoint discrimination.
You don’t get to claim to be a general platform without liability for users’ views if you also censor various people.
And if you claim to be a utility like the airwaves, you must serve the public good - and that is NOT as a DNC approved content provider.

Gab.AI has been actively handicapped by Google, Apple and so forth.
For example, Google has refused to let them put the Gab app in the Android app store - this is a violation of anti-trust rules, since they’re colluding with Twitter to ban Twitter’s rival. (Google has an exclusive data mining arrangement with Twitter.)
Apple has refused to host the Gab app, too.

This is only a continuation of Big Tech’s ongoing censorship and interference with everything but the far left.

Apple, Twitter, Google, Instagram collude to defeat Trump

First time I did it was a typo, but I found it funny so I always type it that way now.

I have a term for that. It’s called surrender. Trump doesn’t tweet?

My son beta tested Gab, so was one of the first users.

He has set up my devices to use Duckduckgo instead of Google. Sometimes, I still have to switch to Google since it has more functions than any other search engine. However, even with having to switch back occasionally, every time I use another search engine, that cuts into Google profits.

The more of us who refuse to use the leftist propaganda platforms, the lower their income becomes. And the more of us who use the alternative platforms, the better they will become.

Uh... conservatives spend far more time and resources on Disney and Comcast — two corps actively opposing conservatives.

You mean after Trump stops using Twitter for regular news broadcasts?

Twitter’s got a warehouse full of SJWs and Islamics deciding who to censor.

You can guess what the outcome is without even having to look it up.

If you must have that kind of service, gab.ai is the one to use. Conservatives will see far more interaction there, and probably meet all sorts of other conservatives who have already fled/been censored off other platforms.
