He literally picked a userbase of fucking Nazi incels and then for some reason thinks denouncing porn is a great idea. Great job you fucking idiot.

Even 8chan was more competent in being a free speech platform than Gab ever will.

So what makes the United States then? Because last I checked, the country is one of the freest countries in the world along with several others and it has order too. What a jackass.Big brain time with Torba.

Is Torba trying to suck up to China or something? I mean, banning porn, saying vaguely totalitarian shit like "Freedom isn't possible without Order", and wanting people to put in ID's to access stuff online all sounds like stuff China would like.
Either he is, and is going about it in the most exceptional way possible, or horseshoe theory is being demonstrated in action once again with "Free-Speech Twitter" looking eerily similar to something an authoritarian state would implement.

If you really want to trigger Andrew Torba, tell him that countries like Japan is one of the safest countries in the world and they have plenty of porn that is pretty much readily available too.
Honestly, blaming porn for the ills of society is just like blaming violent video games for why mass shootings happen.
There's plenty of countries that consume porn (most of the first-world countries) and I'd rather live in the first-world where I am guaranteed many things such as economic stability and safety than living in some third-world shithole where military dictators and theocracies are the rule of law.
It's all fun and games until these idiots realize that theocracy is pretty much shit and only favors a select few; places like Iran come to mind too.

The worst part about this is that there are enough dumb Christian Boomers who buy into this shit to keep Torba financially stable.

Pretty sure twitter hasn’t banned him because his tweets are the best possible argument against jumping to Gab

At this point, Andrew Torba has squandered any potential growth for his stupid social media platform So let's review of why Gab is never going to be successful compared to Twitter and why even services like Mastodon has a far better chance to succeed then Gab ever will.
1. At this point, it's clear that Gab has no real intention of being a true platform for free speech anyway. Now say what you want about porn but really the fact that Andrew Torba has been going apeshit over it to the point where he wants the government now to babysit people online (a lot of irony much for a person that claims to be for smaller government) shows that he doesn't really have any real principles at all. Even websites such as that of 8chan was still a far better free speech platform than Gab ever will.
2. Ever since the infamous Pittsburgh synagogue shooting that took place back in 2018, Gab is now form that point on is going to be associated with tons of crazy jackasses such as white supremacists, religious fundamentalists, Neo-Nazis, anti-Semites, skinheads, and all other kinds of crazies that think that they're going to start their own Iranian revolution in the west (which is just never, ever going to happen anyway). There's a really good reason why many people aren't going to jump ship from Twitter and join Gab because no one really wants to deal with these losers that haven't really done anything with their own lives and probably still live in some loser trailer park too.
3. Now Andrew Torba seems to forget what made the mainstream social media platforms big to begin with. Take Tumblr as an example. Tumblr got so big because the website was open and tolerant to all kinds of people from many different corners of the Internet. This is why back then the people that did porn be it artists, models, porn stars, and so on used it to promote themselves and that was also one of the biggest motivators for a lot of people to go on Tumblr anyway. But Tumblr pretty much died and fell out of favor from the more tech savvy youths when they decided to ban porn altogether and resulted in the website falling out of favor and so it has been into a massive decline ever since. Sure, Tumblr was really cringy at its peak but you really can't deny how huge it was back then. If you want to succeed in making a good social media platform then you have to look at the others in what made them so big in the first place. Just have good optics or you will fail.
4. No one is going to use whatever Gab is going to offer in the near future. No one is really going to make their own forks of Gab because the source code is just too shitty to use. No one is going to use their browser extensions because I'm pretty sure that they probably have plenty of security holes too. And since it looks like Gab is going to launch their own video sharing service (possibly a streaming service?) then no one is really going to use that too because a website Youtube is still far too big and there are far better alternatives to Youtube anyway such as Bitchute which they aim to allow content that Youtube won't allow (in which at least Bitchute actually does care about free speech since their goal it to be like what Youtube used to be long before cooperate greed and politics ran the platform into the ground).
Overall, Gab is well a total failure. The average millennial and zoomer isn't going to use it because no one is going to use a social media platform that hardly anyone uses. Advertisers aren't also going to cozy up to Gab because it's just really bad PR to work with a dumb boomer that lets people making a lot of vile posts about minority groups all day long. And Andrew Torba is going to end up being a washed up loser in the end when the next big thing does comes in to replace Twitter and I can guarantee that it won't be Gab that will replace Twitter because if Twitter someday goes under then it will be a social media platform that will let people post all the porn that they want and be very open and tolerant of many kinds of people from many parts of the Internet too.

India is Gab's fastest growing market. Presumably, whole 5s if not tens of BJP supporters are joining Gab each day after being banned from Twitter for being stupid enough to post petty racist and Islamophobic comments in English.

Torba is threatening to release another irrelevant 'product', an encrypted messenger, so if you feel like using an encrypted messenging service written by a team too incompetent to stop users editing and deleting each other's DMs (this actually happened with Gab proper), and so brainless as to create a realtime chat function on 'Dissenter' that let you post arbitrary HTML code from Javascript to autoplaying looping audio of 'Never Going To Give You Up', then that's the service for you.
Especially if you like having all your messages handed over to the FBI.
Apparently this is going to be its own thing, not just based on Matrix, as anything not-exceptional would be.
The promotional images have a 50s theme. Appropriate for Gab's demographics.

EDIT: I didn't even notice PUBLIC & PIVATE before.
Torba couldn't be more useless.

Well Torba is a boomer libertarian so he can't talk about race and crime or any of the myriad real reasons why Japan might be more stable than Detroit. He has to focus his attacks on something that won't go against his /r/the_donald sensibilities.

I'd say it's amazing how fast Gab completely burnt off everything remotely resembling goodwill it had built up in record time, but that would be implying that Torbyboy had any intention of giving a shit about his platform in the first place.
