Good for them. 👍
Gab is having difficulty dealing with high volume of new users.
I Like GAB. I’ve Been with Gab since the beginning.
I’ve been thinking about going there.
Quite possibly. Gab is sufficiently autonomous, not at the mercy of Big Tech.
I’ve been on GAB for quite awhile. I was there way back when Andy went thru the wringer with hosting. He’s done a remarkable job at putting that site on its owns servers, etc.
I was on Parler for awhile as I figured the POTUS would likely end up there.
Personally, I like GAB’s user interface and layout a lot better than what I saw at Parler. Not that it was really all that bad, but GAB just seems to do it better.
Let this be a lesson: NEVER let the enemy have any kind of control over your business if you can help it....they’ll eventually use it to either try to control you and/or kill you.
Bring Trump on board....He's the master builder!....
Sweet!
I, too, have a company with our own data center. Cloud is a stupid way to run a business because that gives Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Google and others, the ability to ruin you if they chose to cut your subscription like Amazon just did to Parler. They also have massive intellectual property theft issues due to all the foreigners and foreign locations they use that do not respect the law.
Can’t even sign up. Pages aren’t loading, or you get a maintenance notice, and when you do get to the registration page, fill it out, and send it, it times out.
Amazon is cutting off Parler’s servers

Unless Parler can find a new host, it will go offline on Sunday.
You can't have an entirely unmoderated "Free Speech" forum or else it'll get disrupted and become unusable. Gab could become a great alternative, but they need to clean it up a little bit.
Parlar and Telegram are hard no's from me until they remove the requirement for a cell phone number to sign up.
while we’re trying to find an independent platform, many are assuming out internet access can’t be interrupted. People need to plan for internet alternatives.
I went to Twitter and it is virtually a ghost town now, filled with liberals kissing Jack's ass, tweeting their pathetic little memes and jokes about Trump. All my favorites like Tracy Beanz, Dan Bongino, and Techno Fog are gone now.
I guarantee you Trump is working with top tech people to create a whole new platform that's going to blow Twitter out the water. Liberals cannot complete with free speech so that's why they want to ban people that disagree with them.
Once Gab and Parler get up to speed, I'm completely cancelling my Twitter account
Oh the irony of this post at this time. Gab is completely down and not responding at all.
Next step is for Gab to make their own PC/ phones, I hope.
Gab can be shut down, too, if they have American servers.
Need servers abroad. I recommend Iceland.
Gab is getting slammed. 10K sign-ups per hour.

“Gab, a social networking site popular among the far right, seems to be capitalizing on Twitter bans and Parler’s suspension from the Google store. It says its gaining 10,000 new users every hour.”
Good grief!
Guess what?
Just as the CCP blocks access to specific web addresses, Gab will soon be blocked in the United States.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts.
You have to check out the following post by Andrew Torba, CEO of GAB. It includes a short video statement hosted on their own servers. This is MUST watch!
