Since Elon is turning Twitter into Gab does Gab have any reason to exist?

  Twitter doesn't take such a hard stance. For example when European countries ask Gab to censor content that is illegal there Gab declines.

The first post I got when I opened that link was from a user going by "Kitler" (based on the profile picture, it's a kitten version of Adolf Hitler) Kitler's post was culture war stuff about homosexuals. Clicking on his profile, I get taken to a bunch of racist and anti-semetic posts. Gab is for a certain kind of person.

  You know how people in California claim that the homeless problem there is due to them having programs to support the homeless, and that if other states did a better job their state would have less of a problem? Well if you are basically the only website that allows all legal speech, you are going to see a lot of stuff that was censored elsewhere. I'd love to see a version of this created by a more left wing group of people to balance things out, and whouldve recommended it here if it existed, but they seem to have abandoned free speech as a concept entirely.

    This is a great explanation as to why "free speech" websites always have the worst people. The people that believe you should be able to say whatever you want have to rub elbows with the people that believe you must say the n-word in every comment.

    Left wing free speech groups exist on Matrix and Telegram. Everything in the feed is coming from a right wing perspective. May I re-state that Gab promoted a hitler themed novelty account named Kitler? On a free speech absolutist website I'd expect to see some of my fellow leftoids calling for the slaughter of landlords, but I didn't see that anywhere; only rightoids calling for the slaughter of jews and homosexuals.

      > Left wing free speech groups exist on Matrix and Telegram. I'm not familiar with any of those, care to link one? > fellow leftoids calling for the slaughter of landlords, but I didn't see that anywhere You can find that sort of content with ease on Reddit. Those people are probably mostly over there or in similar places. Gab has less users and engagement so only the people prohibited from speaking elsewhere find themselves there. While Gab has lots of ideas I disagree with it was the only place I found that I could discuss things like the Wuhan lab leak theory or the contents of Hunter Bidens laptop. Twitter and Reddit both banned me for discussing those topics.

        I’m not getting into an argument with you, I’m just letting you know that gab is a nazi website. There are free speech zones that don’t promote posts about killing Jewish people. By continuing to promote Gab, you will find yourself drawn to spaces that won’t challenge your promotion of a literal social media site for nazis.
