In other words, if that's the case, that leaves room for the registered DNS to be manipulated by the business that runs it.

like if GoDaddy gave the F-U switch

like they did to the stormer

Staff members are also known to go rogue so it could be that.

I'm just waiting for twitter to ban the trump

I have this feeling that it will inevitably happen around 2020

🤔 it'd be a bad move for twitter

yeah but when did they have a good business philosophy?

Trump might as well be the only thing keeping them alive.

Jack Dorsey openly talks about civil war as a solution.

If he leaves and he and all his followers go to a new platform, poof.

What a dumb fuccboi

If trump is banned

Gab will rise

Long live Gab

I don't think Gab will take Twitter's spot

It's too inconsistent with rules & core philosophy

It's sales pitch is based off of a temporary reaction to the restriction of ideas in the market.

That's not a long-term solution.

Yeah you gotta have something else to back it up. People might come because of the controversy but you have to have a reason for them to stay.

I dunno gab seems consistent enough

I haven't heard of them doing anything questionable yet

You can still be genuine and be poor in business practice.

I have yet to see them make bad business decisions either <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

the site is amazing

tbh

You're talking to someone who has paid them for their pro service

It isn't to dismiss them entirely. I just don't see their model working in the long run for the moment.

It's going to be interesting to see how they transform though.

If your model only reacts to your competitors, then you aren't steering the market.

There's also the much bigger problem to face: People on average don't care enough about free speech to go in and write their own censor lists.

People have been trained to have the big guys censor for them.

The current model right now is a Free-For-All anti-censorship campaign.

i don't think people are incapable of writing censor lists

They aren't, but it isn't exactly a sales pitch.

I think if Gab provided pre-made lists for people to apply, that's fix a lot of that issue.

the main problem with the censor lists is that I've people remove words like kike and jew from their posts entirely and only link to like daily stormer articles to avoid the censor list

Yeah it becomes a race

Gab is a platform of principle, if you give away pre-made lists you're already not being neutral anymore

And that's the problem.
