Approximately 600,000 new users signed up for Gab on Sunday.
Gab CEO Andrew Torba revealed that the free speech social media platform had received the truly massive amount of signups.
Gab Chief Technology Officer Fosco Marotto also spoke of the astronomical growth, revealing the platform had deployed 10 new servers to accommodate the massive influx of users. All of Gab’s server infrastructure is hosted in-house, hardening the platform from deplatforming attempts on the part of Big Tech’s corrupt oligarchs.
Parler, a competing platform, was swiftly deplatformed by Amazon oligarch Jeff Bezos Sunday. Parler had opted to rely on Amazon’s web hosting services, a platform liability leaving them powerless against Big Tech deplatforming attempts.
Sunday’s growth in all likelihood breaks every record for single-day user growth of any social media platform in history.
Torba also revealed that insiders within Big Tech have approached him seeking employment with the company, alienated from the most wide-ranging left-wing purge of right-wingers, nationalists, and conservatives from Twitter in history.
Desperate folks........we’re quickly losing our freedom
You mean a purge of patriots?
bttt
ping
Gab has even gained 160,000 twitter followers in the past 72 hours
Don’t get too excited.
Google, Apple, Amazon (and Twitter quietly in the background) no doubt plotting as we speak to shut them down also. Give them a couple of days to find material they don’t like to have another flimsy excuse.
Unfair to Parler. They were just more well known.
This is really out of control. Who would have thought?

They tried that years ago
They have their own servers now
In case you wonder why the Maoist Uni-Party is closing the taverns and places of assembly:https://warontherocks.com/2015/04/the-colonial-tavern-crucible-of-the-american-revolution/
Gab is down for me. Says is is down for maintenance.
Somewhere there is a physical connection to the Internet backbone. Whatever entity controls that connection is going to come under extreme pressure to unplug it.
Overloaded, probably.....................
Until about a week ago I had never heard of gab.
Did anybody else?
Now it’s supposed to be the most popular conservative site on the web.
FreeRepublic is blowing it ...it should be THE go to site
As you leave other platforms be sure to post a free republic link
Is Gab the Facebook replacement? I’m confused now. If so, they should buy Parler and corner the market on 1A infrastructure. They could then add an Amazon like platform of small shops and take over the world.
“Gab is down for me. Says is is down for maintenance.”
Same thing as yesterday. They are probably trying to handle the new sign ups. IMO
Gab is the TWITTER replacement.......................as is Parler if/when they get back up and running again..................
