We're talking about more than just saying things here.
11 people have been murdered by a white supremacist, and Gab is the online community for white supremacists / neonazis / anti-semites, one of whom is the murderer, whose actions have been heavily influenced by the specific culture of that community. What does the white-people stuff you allegedly saw "on twitter" have to do with that?
Come on, really?
- mohammedbin 8y agoI would say to you the same thing I said to your sibling- this is a tangential point.
- lgierth 8y agoYour whole point is tangential to the story posted. Go away sockpuppet.
- aldoushuxley001 8y agoGab is not the online community for white supremacists, that's just an absurd hyperbolic statement. I would downvote you if I could.
- lgierth 8y agoAre there others in the >100,000 users range?
- aldoushuxley001 8y agoYou haven't even proven that Gab is a white supremacist site. It's not. That's simply a mudslinging accusation meant to unfairly defame a site, probably because it contains different opinions than your own.
- pvg 8y agoYou can easily find antisemitic tripe in Gab's official account. It's a site run by bigots for bigots that likes to pretend it's some neutral, principled free speech crusader. It's thoroughly, painfully obvious to any reasonable person that it's not - it's just a generic online septic tank.

- aldoushuxley001 8y agoI don't recall running into much antisemitic tripe when I was there. Calling Gab a white supremactist website just seems like a ridiculous over-the-top assertion without even a shred of evidence to back it up... I don't get how this isn't being called out as a blatant ad hominem attack.
- pvg 8y agoWell, their own tweets seemed to convince one HN user they were, at best, Nazi-adjacent so I'm happy to try again. Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18318536 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18318536
- aldoushuxley001 8y agoHm, thanks for the link! Definitely ridiculously unprofessional Twitter account they have. I wouldn't call them Nazis based on those tweets alone though. But yeah that certainly doesn't reflect well on them.
