I'm genuinely curious if you think Facebook, Twitter, reddit, etc... Are all trash too for the same reason?

It's his platform he can run it as he sees fit, ToS can change, if you don't like it start your own site, and other obvious trolls, that are perfectly reasonable arguments.

Most of these accounts are likely bots. gab was always dead when I was on there. I always kind of assumed his anti-porn angle was to get attention for the platform (and it worked). He got railroaded by Apple and Google, I'm OK with him doing whatever he wants and fuck those two companies for strong arming him.

From what I can tell, most of the people who migrated from Gab went to Minds.

I cant comment on Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit as I dont have an account with any of them.

Gab used to be quite lively, with the Nazi's fighting with the Communists. And yes, I think you are right about Apple and Google shutting Gab down. Gab was banned in my country.

The only thing good about Gab at the moment is Dissenter.

Back in 2017 when Google unleased the Mobile Web Iniatitive, The Gab app was killed by both Apple and Google.

Apple and Google don’t agree. Gab built an app for Apple’s iOS operating system, but Apple wouldn’t approve it. This means that iPhone and iPad users can’t use the Gab app because users can’t install applications on those devices unless Apple approves them. Gab’s Android app was available through Google’s app store until yesterday, when Google banned it, citing violations of its hate-speech policy.

The Internet has just gotten worse since that time.

It's gotten better now that Saidit is here <3
