i wish he would just do something about facebook twitter etc

that is in the works. but as most government things are, it takes time before anything happens

has he made any statements or comments about it though?

been a few hints of it, but nothing big are going to happen before the midterms are done. and then if the result goes as may believe they can go all in on the social media platforms that wants to censor the conservatives

You don't have a gab account yet?

I have one, but I haven't used it due to all the boomers and nazis

what's this boomers thing btw

Older folks who can't internet very well

Im a 30 y/o boomer

Imagine your parents on facebook

i don't have to imagine <:GWqlabsFacepalm:405043237116444674>

Exactly.

my mum barely even uses it

my dad pretty much comments on everything tho

and gets into arguments etc

and my mum and i are just like "y tho"

I do feel like this weekend Gab will have an explosion of new users

And we can ride the wave to creating some great pages and groups

meh, i still think most people don't really care

at least not until it impacts them directly, which it probably won't

You underestimate the streisand effect

cuz your average social media user doesn't get censored left and right

There's people on this server right now that hadn't heard of Gab until this week

The bigger question is how many of the new users will stick to the platform

That's the question, and that's why this weekend is important for retaining users

Gab lacks the notification/updates and is a bit difficult to find rando suggestions to those who spend 5s to see what it is lile.

the amount of shit the media tried to pin on gab this week, the are bound to be people that wants to see what kind of dumpster fire it actually is.

well the thing is, most people don't just use social media for politics

like, even though i watch sargon's shit on youtube, i have loads of other stuff as well

How does someone not do politics?

and basically only the political commentators from youtube would move over to a different platform

if they start getting censored

Valid point, so we just go through and start topics and pages for stuff that we're individually interested in

and the gun and weed people

I would use bitchut if there were an actual app for it

ehh

what i'm saying is

that pretty much only the politically engaged youtube creators would swtich to a different platform

(not just yt btw)

and all the others will stay because they're not affected

so it won't have as much of an impact
