Trump was just as quick to kiss the feet of the ADL and Netanyahu. He's not going to save you from this kind of politics, he would do the same exact thing if pressured.

 

[MugolEx]

why do idiots continue to support and register on these fringe sites?

I wouldn't call them idiots, just lost. There are a lot of people whose concerns can't be heard because they are deemed "extremist and dangerous." So they jump on the first placebo they hear about.

The perfect is the enemy of the good, if he had won a second term Josh would have been able to get a bank account with the Federal rule from the comptroller of commerce that the current administration is blocking. Not to mention the ban on using woke training classes on government employees.
The left has been on a slow march with a few rules and laws here and there for a century now, the right just seems too dumb to realize just how important shit like that is.

How's Odysee working? Seems like a better idea than Bitchute.

So far it's better than YouTube or Bitchute, I haven't seen anyone being banned from it. The videos have higher definition, there's no lag, a decent 'discover' section, search bar that's not absolutely useless (as on bitchute) and videos don't take ages to upload.

Odysee also is working on LiveStreams, should be up soon iirc.

One worrying thing is that in order to earn their crypto-schekels (LBRY credits) you have to verify phone number, card or give them a proof of identity (via discord of all places).

Not to mention, Odysee doesn't have this fucking bullshit:

Why does it only have experimental builds for Windows?

You know - the most commonly used OS on the fucking planet?

People on Windows don't care about privacy, so who cares anyway.

Trump has an account on Gab and Fox has given coverage to Gab before, if I recall. Also other politicians. Also people tricking other Christians into thinking they are supporting a Christian business by supporting Torba because supposedly Torba is a Christian and therefore being against Gab is being against a Christian business.

Trump's account is just an archive, says so in the account bio. They still mirror all his official statements. They tried to get him on recently but supposedly Jared Kushner blocked it (and Torba cried about it for weeks after.)

And Gab definitely is a Christian business, I don't think they're lying about it. Torbo is the stereotype for nutty Evangelical, most of the employees are Christians, most of the users are Christians, they push pro-Christian narratives and work largely with other Christian companies. Idk, think whatever you want about that, it's just weird to imply that it isn't the case though.

No. There is a bot reposting Trump tweets to Gab. There is no evidence that is Trump.

Fair enough. I guess I got bamboozled by the idiot articles earlier last month or so.

I never go on Gab so I just took what I heard from some Gab users I knew and news articles I'd gleaned, outdated and wrong apparently.

And Gab definitely is a Christian business [...] it's just weird to imply that it isn't the case though.

I don't trust anything that needs personal info like Gab, let alone when it gets positive coverage in any way, but again fair enough. My ultimate point wasn't that Gab isn't a Christian business but that being against it is seen as being against Christian businesses in general, which is asinine. Even if Torba is a professing Christian and runs his business Christian-centric as described--which there's nothing wrong with--that doesn't mean it's something to be supported just because it's a Christian business. That's no better than Jews buying anything just because it says "kosher" on it and it's made by a Jew--even something as retarded as those special light switches made for the Sabbath. Remember those?

This idea that "[thing/person] is from our [group] therefore we must support it/them" is a mind-flayer. Christians and everyone would do better to set up Fediverse nodes like was suggested (and already exist) and broaden their horizon to alternatives like what was listed just a few pages back. Instead people are being corralled to support Torba and Gab like its the last true bastion of speech, even conservative or Christian.

In a way Gab is becoming what Q itself was, a kind of filtering bottleneck which ultimately retards any potential for effective communication and action.

 

[Not Really Here]

You have to remember that "journalists" are always, and always have been, lying retards.

 

[Carlgon McVaginalflap]

I don't know who told you it did. Just a valid email and a password, same as a Mastodon instance. They don't collect any other data and the hack proved it.

You have to give ID for a blue check, I guess, but that's an entirely optional feature and has no perks. It's not like Parler where you have to do it to fully use the site.

 

[Henry Wyatt]

I believe Torba made the Trump Gab account to reserve the name for him, as a way to try to entice him to join the website. Not sure whether it was handed over to his PR team or what.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this it's been a long time since I kept track of the whole thing.

the trump account just started as an archive of trumps tweets from twitter for people who only used gab if I recall

I don't give a fuck if Trump were to put on a Yamuka and sing the Israeli National Anthem while circumcising one of his grandkids. It doesn't mean shit to me.

You never do the biding of the press in attacking your allies.

And you definitely don't call for censorship of alternative platforms that are already under attack every day.

Being a sellout to people who hate you is directly related to attacking your allies and calling for their censorship.

 

[Dread First]

Glad to know that you're still huffing copium, my good man. How far down the Trump Enslavement Syndrome rabbit hole do you have to go to realise that the man completely and utterly failed you at every possible turn?

You never do the biding of the press in attacking your allies.

>implying Trump was ever your ally in the first place
>implying Trump wasn't in it for himself the whole time
>implying Trump ever had the best interests of the American people
>implying Trump isn't an incompetent blowhard

And you definitely don't call for censorship of alternative platforms that are already under attack every day.

While I'm not calling for the censorship of platforms like Gab and Parler, you'd have to be a fucking retard to assume that any Twitter alternative has their users' best interests at heart. Andrew Torba is an extensively documented manchild who wasted millions of dollars to create a shit platform that can't even handle basic infosec correctly. How the fuck can you still voluntarily defend a platform that actively undermines their own users at every given turn?

Gab's privacy policy is absolutely appalling as it mirrors the same type of data mining bullshit that Silicon Valley giants like Facebook and Twitter pull off on a daily basis. Furthermore, Gab's current hack was a direct result of one of Torba's own lackeys making a preposterous blunder that no seasoned infosec veteran would even think to make. Yes, they forked Mastodon but almost all of Gab's issues since then have been caused by their own modifications to Eugen Rochko's code.

As for Parler, they specifically requires government-issued ID to even register in the first place... for an online service where you can say the N word without fear of Twitter jannies or bots purging your account. During the initial Parler data breach, it was revealed that in addition to archiving "deleted" posts, they didn't scrub any metadata from the photos and videos that were uploaded. Everyone unfortunate enough to get caught in the data breach was subsequently doxed due to Parler's incompetence. Again, how is such an awful platform worth defending?

 

[Carlgon McVaginalflap]

Gab's privacy policy is absolutely appalling...

I'm not going to defend that policy at all, it's a terrible look. But if I had to guess they just hired a paralegal or someone familiar with ToS's to draft one up. Once again, the hack is a blessing in disguise for them in this regard, because we know for certain now that they don't actually keep enough data for it to matter, not even IP's. You'd have to go out of your way to use your real name to be subject to any consequences from it.

If you still think the GOP are /ourguys/ on free speech or give a shit about it at all except as cynical pandering, IDK why you would. For all their whining about cancel culture, they're the most loyal ally of it when someone to their right is on the chopping block, because they don't want their weak shit to have to compete with more dissident ideas. What they want is a ghetto where they are free to shape right-wing discourse to their benefit, not genuine freedom of speech.

Notice Torba's response, mostly oriented around declaring his philosemitism with a defense of free speech as secondary. When running Gab, Torba has consistently compromised on his stated principles to market a Kosher image to these people, so this is karma IMO.

 

[Electric Pence]

Well, at least MGTOW.tv is still pretty based. It was founded by one guy, and he assured me he isn't interested in censoring anyone.

There are people who are supposedly right-wing who use the same lines of logic SJW's use and are as easily triggered. Conservative correctness isn't a new concept, as I recall asking Jones if Putin could be trusted on Alex Jones's AMA on r/The_Donald back in February 2017. Not only did I not get a reply, but I got permabanned banned from the subreddit with no explanation given. I don't know if Alex Jones made that call, or the Orwellian mods of that pathetic subreddit.

Or a time I was on Facebook and was called an "evil pinko communist Obama-loving Democrat anti-Christian who's going to burn in Hell" then blocked from posting in a "conservative" group's posts because I asked whether ISIS started rapidly losing territory in December 2016 or January 2017.

I've tried so many alt tech video hosts and they're all fucked. Gab TV is a great website and very generous with encode quality, but it's not finished and they don't seem to be working on it. Bitchute, in addition to the other problems listed, don't host content forever. If you go to a lot of old videos they're permanently unplayable, useless for archiving.

Odysee as an alternative seemed cool, but you have to have coins to start a channel, and the only option for getting them were giving private info, there's no way to buy them in the US, so fuck that.

So right now I'm uploading on Peertube, but they have the Fediverse problem where you never really know if the node is going to be taken off the Internet on a whim.

Well, at least MGTOW.tv is still mostly based. It was founded by one guy, and he demonstrated to me he isn't interested in censoring anyone.

Where in the world can you see the governor of a state/province sitting with a FOREIGN FLAG? I mean is not like he's meeting the president of israel, why the fuck is that flag there? not all jews are israelies

People should just not use social media. It’s not that hard. Keep Instagram...

Or just don't use social media.
