I don't expect this for others.

I feel like gab is a reaction to social media censorship, and has corned themselves in terms of business strategy to attract new users.

Not everyone cares about free speech, as much as I'd hate to say it.

Again, it will be interesting to see how Gab evolves.

I don't have to support a business just because it agrees with my views, and I can support a business that doesn't support my views on principle of acceptable business by the laws of the land.

Convenience vs Principle

people often choose the former.

It's going to be one hell of an up-hill battle for Gab.

I think the censor lists will not be as huge an obstacle as one would think

And I think the hot topics provide an incredibly engaging way to entice people to voice themselves in ways twitter doesn't have

but whether gab ever takes off into the mainstream is another question entirely

not until Twitter bans Trump

I don't think gab is less convenient than twitter to be honest apart from the censor lists

twitter ban trump pls

if they offer only free speech they will be stigmatized as alt-white regurgitation chambers

need some groundbreaking new QOL feature

trump got stigmatized as an alt-white regurgitation chamber and look where that got him <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Twitter banning Trump is the same as reddit deleting T_D

I'm just saying less people will be attracted to it

a shitstorm bigger than a nuke

a nothing platform doesnt have Trump's draw

now if they get him to switch, theyre money

Trump switching would probs crash GAB anyway

Trump could easily just shitpost to his own website someone could code for him for 35 dollars

Gab needs to think more about organic growth.

Ive only really looked at Minds.com so far

Especially with Andrew fllip-flopping on views with celebrities.

it would take more than $35 to host that traffic tho

Andrew may know the technical end of business, but the political side of it is a whole different monster.

Actually building a good reputable business involves coordinated compromises for the convenience of the consumer.

so no Loli anime

you perverts

I dont really enjoy the microblogging platform model in general, i think its a bad way to deliver information unless you have to good sense to link to an actual paper or article

twitter makes anyone who use it look wildly inarticulate

I specifically targeted ways to improve the traditional microblogging models when i formed a brainstorming group for an alternative to Twitter 3 years ago.

kanye need to shut his sophomore ass up and write a coherent paper not bumper stickers (IMHO)

trump shitposts the same way but he is kinda circumventing TV media by doing so. I have mixed thoughts. He is still just dealing with Jack instead of them.

``Free speech attracts racism!``

REEEEEEe

It's mostly Liberals, REAL Liberals that got banned for speaking their mind

this is a sortof clever excuse
