I assume as Gab.com works through its scaling issues that updates to the source code will available. This is simply amazing time saver for anyone/company wanting to scale for a huge user base. This may be a be a tool for free speech and privacy around the world.

Here is a great article from October 2019 by Andrew Torba about open-source gab.

It’s Time To Build a Free Speech Internet Of Our Own by Andrew Torba, October 18, 2019

What we all need to realize is that together we vastly outnumber Silicon Valley. They only control us only as long as you and I continue to let them do it.

I refuse to allow it any longer.

So we are building the free speech internet, and I’d like for you to join us.

That was one of the most inspiring interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Torba is brilliant, forward looking, and a patriot.

Everybody, so far, has ignored the primary issue. Gab is open source.

This is the way to re-write the rules against the progressives.

Thanks, bfl.

Gab converted to Mastodon a while ago. They did have their version of Mastodon posted & available when they converted.

The person responsible for Mastodon is a Progressive, to put it mildly. If Gab made significant changes to scale Mastodon, I’m not sure Eugen would fold them into Mastodon.

You may have a hard time finding a native Mastodon application that will open a Gab feed. Most have Gab.com coded out of the application, since including Gab may get that application banned on other Mastodon instances.

Iirc gab.com is a fork (clone) of mastodon which is a federated system based on activitypub. There are many hosted instances of mastodon. If you are on one you can communicate with someone on another if the instances agreed to federate with each other.

I've just installed the DISSENTER web browser from Gab on my PC and it works fine. Pretty quick!

C'mon FReepers, DO IT!

[gspurlock]

Thanpks for posting. I was watching too and GAP also has its own browser called Dissenter.

I just downloaded it and am using it now. Here is the url if anyone wants to be pretty much invisible to all of the advertisers and data grabbers that are selling your information to big tech and probably the deep state as well.

It’s not very difficult to setup something like XMPP for messaging, but scaling is very difficult without cloud. Cloud is literally suited for scale. When you’re constrained by on-premise hardware, it’s very easy to get overwhelmed by users.

We should start to discuss the use of “older” Internet technologies like IRC to have a backchannel mode of communication for when the powers that be decide our platform is a weapon.

Who owns the cable and fiber optics lines that connects us all to the Internet?

My liberal company today removed Gab, reason: extremism....give me a break, ok to access FB and Twit...
