I received a long email on this subject this morning. I closed my Gab account over a year ago, but still read their reports to old members.

None of this is a surprise, but it totally illuminating of how bad the Social Media Monarchs are subverting to free speech, open political discourse and the subversion of the US Constitution.

This must be brought totally out in the open, by whatever means possible.

I am going to re-examine reopening my account with them.

I have decided to be on Gab in a limited way. I do a Gab every week or two.

Especially with Gab about to start their own payment processing system so conservative sites can freely take credit card payments without being cutoff for wrong think.

That’s why the communists are turning up the heat.

I’m telling the truth. Your Facebook-funded “fact checkers” like Graphika are wrong and are the people peddling disinformation here. My response to them is that they can get bent. I’m reminding tens of millions of people that they have religious liberty and God-given human rights in this country. Deal with it. Jesus is King.

At the time I left it was not very functional.

I’m on MeWe now, it is OK, but I have been on Twitter since 2009, have a large group of friends there in spite of the filtering.

I’m openly harassed, but not that often. I lost about 15% of my followers there in a 2-3 month span. Have recovered a lot of that, but my stats are down to 25% of what they once were. In spite of consistently regaining followers. That tells me how much they have filtered my content.

I tried getting on gab once, but they never finished processing my account to the point where I could log in and gab. I’d love to show my support for them, especially in the face of Stalinazi oppression. But I’ll have to apply all over again, and probably get the same ridiculous runaround. Same with Rumble. Bonjino says look up his videos on Rumble instead of You Tube, and I look for the latest one, and it’s never there, just the older ones. These alternative platforms need to get it together.

I quit twitter after they canceled Trump, and never really liked it there. Truth is, this is the only platform where I really feel at home.

Big Tech and Big Government and becoming a single ruling entity. This is textbook fascism.

I use Gab far more than I use FR. It is the only place I know where you can say what you want. Even FR censors. If some moderator’s friend gets offended then your posting privileges and perhaps your account is a goner.

Peter Hitchens makes light of the Twitter filtering but he has a bigger Twitter following to grind down.

They usually start removing his followers once he gets over 155,000 its happened to him repeatedly in the last year or so.

Never had any problem joining Gab.
It’s an excellent platform for conservatives.

The entire concept of suppressing "misinformation" is just a ruse for censorship by elites who happen to be in power. It has no place in a free society.

In reality nobody can decide what is "information" and what is "misinformation" unless you can define what is the ideal set of ideas and beliefs for people to have. Human beings are continuously learning, and often even respected people don't know the truth. What may be "settled science" one year can be proven entirely wrong a year later.

Over time knowledge and truths come out as a result of the free exchange of ideas. Any group that has to censor speech is anti-freedom, anti-progress, and knows in their hearts that their ideas are wrong since they cannot withstand the scrutiny of free and open discussion. That is why leftists and tyrants always suppress the free exchange of ideas.

I like Gab, and support it much like I do FR. Some posters are obnoxious, but it’s easy enough to block them.

I am on Gab and enjoy it. It runs much better than earlier this year.

There is some crazy stuff on there - but so what? Free speech is a good thing.

“I use Gab far more than I use FR. It is the only place I know where you can say what you want.”

Yep. Free speech is a good thing. Free speech should make people uncomfortable at times. Free speech doesn’t mean everyone saying the same thing or “I like puppies”. That’s why the Left is against it and wants to censor everything they don’t like as “Hate Speech”.
