I tired going to GAB for the first time a couple of days ago. It just showed three blinking dots and a sentence “We will be right with you....” or some such comment.

It never went anywhere.

It is currently massively overloaded with all the new accounts. From what i've read elsewhere, they are adding servers to handle the massive increase in demand, but it may be awhile before it starts working normally.

Try again next week.

I will add that Gab runs it's own servers and cannot be shut down by anyone.
