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.

If your enemy has access to modern comms and you don’t, you lose. Check into the history of modern resistance movements since WW1 - there has never been a successful resistance since 1911 against a popular government (read: cowed/conned/sedated populace) that had media controls without massive outside technical and monetary assistance. Where would conservatives get assistance from outside the US?

Yikes! That’s disheartening.

And the reason they controlled Finance with the they were forbidden from entering almost every other profession and trade in Europe. The Catholic Church, and it’s monarchs scattered across Europe had strict rules about what type of work do Jewish people could involve themselves Young.

Mark Twain wrote a fantastic article and Analysis of the topic called concerning the Jews. It may have been a chapter of Innocents abroad, I can’t remember exactly.

He pretty much explained and destroyed anti- Jewish thinking. He explained how almost all of the pogroms can be explained by monarchs wanting to wipe off their credit card debt.

The error you are making is in perceiving the set of 1st Amendment protected rights as separate things.

They are not. They, together, form something else. Care to guess what that is?

Your point being what, exactly? I referenced Oracle only in response to a post that suggested Gab being shut down was deserve, because Gab doesn’t do its own hosting. It wasn’t an endorsement of Oracle. I work all week with (mostly) Silicon Valley tech execs, so I’m well aware they mostly lean left. Gab’s CEO Andrew Torva has been kicked out of Y Combinator and shunned by other tech execs, solely because he didn’t partake in the liberal groupthink.

It is. However, there is no reasonable way to prevent that kind of speech and have an environment where people are free to speak their minds.

Look up the “Lucifer Effect” for the other side of the coin. Those who say what is not socially acceptable perform a vital role in checking a society that has accepted as normal what it should not.

This might be a worthwhile backup. If only the captcha function actually allowed you to register. Alas, it is only another klugey website. Pass.

“They had a porn section that you were not compelled to look at. Soooo...don’t look at it.”

I mean everybody needs a porn section. /s

A few days ago I tried to get back on my GAB account and failed. None of my email addresses could be found on the GAB side.It had been awhile since my last post but I wonder if this issue was a hint of the shutdown to come.

“Porn is worldwide, and normal”

LOL!!! You are HALF right.

Porn IS worldwide, but it’s not NORMAL.

This is why Trump does rallies. Lately the left is saying No More Trump Rallies on Twitter.

...so and so is now following you on Gab!" and I think, "Why?"

Basically spam. Usually somebody trying to get your attention in order to sell porn. Gab has (had!) an option where you can cut out people you don't want following you

...the Jew hate was off the charts ...

The fellow who makes some really great pro Trump cartoons, ggggr graphics, had people who'd alter his work into antisemitic depictions. I first thought this was the work of Nazi like punks but now I figure they were false flags planted by leftists to Smear' and libel the artist. His work was too good and effective otherwise. I suspect the Jew hate was also leftist driven to provide an excuse for shutting GAB down.

“I’ll answer first. Spoken threats of violence should be illegal.”

The trouble with that is just like what is happening today.

It’s about who defines things like violence, hate, racism, etc.

I’m gonna kick your ass! In your world is that “a threat of violence? Could be, but most times it isn’t.

FU!, I’m not really going to FU or even FU up, it’s just a vulgar saying.

Megyn Kelly is today’s “Jimmy the Greek” (the world’s first victim of political correctness).

Neither one deserved to be fired for what they said.

Free speech is just that, free speech. Once you let someone else decide for you what “free” means, you’ve lost it.

.. they deserve it as they have been post extremist hate and violence.

Consider the possibility that you are being played with by leftists. They flood the zone with obnoxious hate so that fools will respond with outrage and demand the very censorship they are seeking

The media has been hard at work trying to ignore the rallies. Twitter and social media actually has more overall impact than the rallies do because it lets Trump bypass the media ‘gatekeepers.’

Japan has it’s own problems - an ongoing and terrifying demographic collapse. They also have their own media controls and the government there largely decides what gets covered.

Don’t expect support from them.

They should have known from the start they were bucking the big boys and need to be completely independent.
