FUCK Gab. They've been running that fake Twitterbot for so long, nobody trusts them anyway. If Trump wants, he can post here, on HIS SITE

I've been posting over there. I don't see much of a difference between that site and this one other than format.

The difference is that these are real people and Gab is riddled with unmarked bots. You'll see.

I've been posting there for a while now. Your explanations about it do not match what I've seen so far.

You haven't noticed the accounts that post 70+ threads a day, never post on other people's threads, and never reply when you post in their threads? Maybe when one of them breaks and starts posting random bits of meaningless code you'll notice then, it's happened before.

Kamalas_Bong: You haven't noticed the accounts that post 70+ threads a day, never post on other people's threads, and never reply when you post in their threads?

I've been participating on internet forums for two decades now. I know the difference between a normal person's post, and those of programing. Additionally, I have permissions on a military blog, as a contributing author, where I've whacked bot posts from the "moderation required" to "trash" folder.

Every single post that I've seen, so far, have been by real people. Does that mean that the bots and trolls "don't" get through? No, and I'm pretty sure that like we veterans on that veteran site, the moderators on Gab catch onto them and give them the boot.

I have reported troll/plant posts to the administration. You could spot those a mile away. However, what I've seen on Gab is no different from what I've seen on other discussion sites. Also, you can't expect people to reply to you every time you post on their threads. Would you have suspected me to be a "bot" if I didn't respond to you?

Again, I've been participating on forums for two decades. I've been debating online for 17 of those years. Also, I have permissions on a military blog that allows me to send posts like that to the trash folder, never to show up on the forum thread the bot intended to leave posts on.

Yes, it has happened before on most sites that I've posted on had these make it through. I haven't seen them on Gab yet. That doesn't mean that they don't show up. And, when they do, it would not be different from what I've seen on other sites.

So far, Gab has been like other sites that I've posted on.

Gab is banned from android and App Store will never catch on

You mean, like how I never caught onto the idea of using a smart phone to do internet stuff? This is the only reason I haven't created an account on Parler. They will be coming for Parler if they haven't done so.

I still use a PC or laptop to access the internet. The cold hard reality is that if those who control what shows up on an App Store for a phone does not want specific information to come out, or who want to control what those using phones to access the internet see, then people have to migrate out from using those devices to access the internet.

The Chinese Communist Party uses smart phone use as a tool to control their citizens. This is a part of the reason to why conservatives and conservative groups are getting booted from accessibility via phone app.
