Oddly(?) I did this on a kindle, android and pc and am currently getting a DNS Server error message with the following:

Is cloudflare hackable? Anyone? Bueller

The site is slower than molasses in January, but I’m sure this will improve.

As we slowly move away from the winter solstice and towards warmer weather, I'm sure it will. ;)

We are adding almost 1m people per day and site traffic is adding millions every few hours on top of that.

Gab is the fastest growing website in the history of the internet.

Please be patient as we work to scale with our small team and limited resources.

I’m all for that. Not a fan of winter.

I was going to ask the obvious question regarding your handle, but I won’t.

It's far more likely that Gab's servers can't keep up with the load, thus the "errors" that Cloudflare is throwing.

My guess (purely a guess) is that gab has been overwhelmed by a massive amount of people trying to sign up and it has overwhelmed their servers. Just yesterday the CEO said 600,000 people signed up in one day. It’s also possible the leftists have launched DOS (denial of service) attacks. I did get a message earlier today that they were offline for maintenance. Give it time and see what transpires.

What is most historic is that GAB allowed so many people on that they they effectively shut themselves down. They may as well have only one member for what good they are now. It the world is still standing when they get there capacity upgraded enough to work then it will be good.

Latest message from GAB CEO Andrew Torba:

"Journalists and researchers desperately hunting for "bad" content on our site will almost certainly find it - we're getting roughly the population of Boston joining the site every 24 hours. If you find unlawful content please report it to our moderators.

I should add that outside agitators occasionally post awful threats etc in violation of our TOS, a phenomenon known as "fedposting." We happily provide lawbreakers' data to law enforcement when subpoenaed, so if abusing our site is your idea of a fun time you should think twice."
