There is probably an active Deny of Service attack going on at Gab.

I signed up yesterday. Painfully slow, had to reload pages several times to get through the email confirmation process and start following other gabbers.
Logging in today, the process is different, takes 5-10 seconds, and has “DDOS protection by CloudFlare” banner.
Though I think most of the slowness yesterday and today is due to Gab’s struggle to meet legitimate demand for new accounts and usage, there is definitely a malicious component working as well.
Glad they own their own hardware and have taken steps to prevent DDOS attacks. Hope their ISP isn’t bullied into cutting them off.
Yeah, tried yesterday and got some sort of internet message saying site was unavailable.
