Andrew Torba / Gab (Gab.com / Gab.ai) / Dissenter (dissenter.com) - An incompetent captain sinking millions of other people's dollars.

RIP Gab.ai

 

[Faggot Gift]

If only he had been better at the cyber

 

[AnOminous]

If only we shut down Twitter every time someone there committed a crime, too.

 

[TaInTeDtAcO]

Wow Andrew, I guess you underestimated this shit like I told you personally years ago. If only you had millions of dollars and years of time in advance to plan for this.

It was worth waking up early on a Sunday to watch Torba's ass flame the fuck out.

It's inevitable that if you set up a free speech platform, most of the people going to it are going to be people who need it because their brand of speech is unpopular. The dumb fucks who cheer when it's shut down are always amazed when it's their own neck on the chopping block next because nobody likes those assholes, either.

WEEV WAS RIGHT

 

[Scratch This Nut]

Like I said in the A&H thread about this, Torba is a complete and utter dumbass. The way he marketed his site, it was inevitable that people like the shooter would be attracted to it.

Why do all these exceptional individuals beg Trump to tweet for them? I don't know what's more autistic, liberals who treat him like the devil or conservatives who treat him like their personal army. I'm pretty sure that he's got better things to do than associate himself with a site commonly viewed as a Nazi-ridden cesspool to those who even know about it.

Getting tweeted by Trump is basically getting noticed by sempai. It would be a different story if Trump tweeted about them in a negative light. Both sides are laughable but the latter can be more so since having Trump as President isn't really going to go well for them if they really thought the orange overlord actually gave two shits about them beyond just making the everyday tweet.

They basically created a hugbox for the kinds of people who can't survive on normal social media sites. When you have an echo chamber of paranoid conspiracy theorists/Qanon fags and boomer-nazis, it's just asking to have someone sperg out irl.

I really doubt that anyone that used the site really gave a fuck about it for any other reason than "free speech". The interface sucks, no one reads anything you post even if you have many followers, and you can't do shit if people decide to spam gay porn or other shit on your messages because there's no block button.

I want him to come over here and call us "libtards" because we think we can allow an opinion of a left-center user.

Gab would have done better if it was a smaller operation run by people who knew what the fuck they were doing instead of some businessman who kept making stupid decisions like trying to go with big webhosting providers, especially in the wake of the whole Daily Stormer deplatforming.

I'd be more concerned about the free speech ramifications from this because just like Charlottesville you're gonna be hearing about this for at least another year minimum.

I don't get whats to stop them from hosting the site on their own hardware or renting shit in some trashcan country where no one cares.

Cut the head off the hate speech snake and it grows back. This shit never works well.

If these people are too inept to host by themselves then someone else will step up.

These are the same people who SHOULD be using Tor, but are too stupid to use Tor. Of course they're too inept to host by themselves.

That dumb motherfucker thought he could go with Microsoft. How stupid do you have to be to do that?

You have to have bulletproof connectivity and hosting for this kind of shit. That generally means either dealing with criminals or building it yourself, or both.

Cut the head off the hate speech snake and it grows back. This shit never works well.

The vast majority of the time you have school shooters or Nazis or "Nazis" or ISIS terrorists or other shit, it's on some completely mainstream platform like Facebook or Twitter. The instant it's one solitary person on some alternative platform, the fake news goes out of its way to make sure it's wiped out of existence.

The site is barely functioning at this point because it's sluggish as all hell. I'm pretty sure that people trying to check out the site after all the news coverage is straining their servers. That kind of tells you that they don't know how to run a website.

I'm getting Clownflare errors from their end.

Is this why I have received multiple notifications of people following my inactive account (since weev's ban) in the recent past?

Wow, talking about double standards. He IS like Israel, after all!
