Breaking: @joyent, Gab’s new hosting provider, has just pulled our hosting service. They have given us until 9am on Monday to find a solution. Gab will likely be down for weeks because of this. Working on solutions. We will never give up on defending free speech for all people.

The New York Slimes did a real hit piece on Gab in their coverage of the Pittsburgh tragedy, of course suggesting they are a big part of the "violence" problem on the Right.

Who Is Robert Bowers, the Suspect in the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting?

The derp state will not rest until they control the signal.

Again.

One thing is for sure, if people haven’t heard of Gab before now, they will by the end of day tomorrow or Monday.

I have great respect for you as a poster here.

Gab is useful to me to find the truth about things when it can’t be found here which does happen from time to time as many here won’t bother to do some research and just wait for somebody to post it. Sometimes that doesn’t happen, unfortunately. I go to many sites to hunt for the answers that I need, including Gab.

That's the problem; they were harboring neonazis/antisemites.

I hope whoever is hosting FR is more resistant to this kind of pressure.

Not a chance FR is going to host antisemites.

I have no interest in porn, and use Gab all the time without seeing any. Likewise for all the other objectionable stuff.

I’d suggest you step off before crossing the line into actionable slander, which you are now stepping on.

You should consider a suit over that comment. You have grounds.

[af_vet_1981]

You need to understand the concept of “I don’t agree with what you are saying, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”

Vapid and utterly stupid slogan;

It was revolting. Anti-semitism has very old roots in Europe. I don’t get it or racism personally. I was very upset about a young boy who was tortured in France years ago for being Jewish. I believe that evil is a mystery and present everywhere.

Use USPS money orders. You pay and leave, fill out ‘pay to’ at your own convenience. Cash at Post Office (they may tell you which office has enough cash. Or, if Jim’s bank doesn’t ban him, just deposit.

Thank you. And I will admit that I too will go to questionable and offensive websites to find info or news. Sites like CNN or the Washington Post.

Just as I will admit that I use Google and Amazon. We cannot disassociate ourselves from leftist an evil in this world.

And I will admit that I may have over dramatized my opinions about Gab. What do I know? I’ve never been there. My only point is that I will not agree that place was a conservative website.

[mrsmith]

Thanks.
(Even though you’tr a carpetbagger?).

[Responsibility2nd]

Stepping off as requested. Since you backed off your highly objectionable and incorrect assumptions about pornography and conservatism. I will leave this matter alone.

This idea was best encapsulated by Voltaire in the quote “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Voltaire was antiChristian and antisemitic.

In a letter to Frederick II, King of Prussia, dated 5 January 1767, he wrote about Christianity: La nôtre [religion] est sans contredit la plus ridicule, la plus absurde, et la plus sanguinaire qui ait jamais infecté le monde.[127] "Our [religion] is assuredly the most ridiculous, the most absurd and the most bloody religion which has ever infected this world. Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by extirpating this infamous superstition, I do not say among the rabble, who are not worthy of being enlightened and who are apt for every yoke; I say among honest people, among men who think, among those who wish to think. … My one regret in dying is that I cannot aid you in this noble enterprise, the finest and most respectable which the human mind can point out."[128][129]

According to Orthodox rabbi Joseph Telushkin, the most significant Enlightenment hostility against Judaism was found in Voltaire;[140] thirty of the 118 articles in his Dictionnaire philosophique dealt with Jews and described them in consistently negative ways.[141][142] For example, in Voltaire's A Philosophical Dictionary, he wrote of Jews: "In short, we find in them only an ignorant and barbarous people, who have long united the most sordid avarice with the most detestable superstition and the most invincible hatred for every people by whom they are tolerated and enriched."[143]

[MarMema]

Absolutely. In the 60s and into the 70s anti-semitism was from the radical left. And having lived on the left coast, where they adore the palis, until 4 years ago, I can tell you the hate toward Israel at least is quite prominent there.

[bagster]

OK after that I am now in agreement with the other person who thinks you are a leftist troll.

Co-sign.

Gab is a free speech website that happens to have a lot of conservatives using it. FR is not a free speech site...it is moderated.
Pretty easy to avoid the free speech you dislike on Gab...just don’t follow the undesirables.

[publana]

It is not a Conservative site. It is deemed Consrevative due to so many of those being banned by other sites flocking there. With that said, Andrew Torba claims to be a Conservative although he does allow anyone there as long as they do not post violence as he will not tolerate it.
