I signed up for Gab a couple years ago but didn’t do anything with it. Have been getting their emails — finally read one and decided to go all in on the platform. Sign up and you’ll see what I mean; the founder is a whip-smart, hilarious troll. He often posts his replies to press inquiries, for example. A recent one had a line about “liberal bimbos from the New York Times.” The idea of blue-haired professional problem glasses models reading this and not getting their juicy quote for a story makes me laugh.

He also signs his emails “Christ is King.” I’m pretty agnostic, but that just feels so unapologetically brave given the atmosphere.

It’s pretty unfortunate (and maybe kind of suspicious?) that the inferior (in my opinion) Parler got such a big push up to this point. Oh well.

Whelp Parler ate shit relying on Amazon servers. Truly unfortunate but Gab prepped better

Its not really about them prepping better. They were in it early. Gab is 4+ years old. They have been under nonstop siege for 2+ years now. Gab is England in WWII. Parler is Brazil. They showed up and threw a party with Bongino passing out free booze, but in the past few days the bombers started flying over head and the party ended suddenly and the U-boats started torpedoing ships in the harbor.(not that Brazil was actually bombed)

Parler isn't going to survive in any meaningful way. By the time they get their shit together they will have had multiple outages and everyone will have moved to the only TRUE free speech site there is Gab. Gab's only problem is can their servers handle the load.

Honestly Gab has a better interface and their people are WAY more creative anyway. Parler is just a mediocre Twitter clone. Gab is an improvement on Twitter. Its only flaw up until now is that most of the people are Jew hating 1488 wackos or at least leftists pretending to be that.

You can edit on Gab. It has way more characters per post. Etc... They actually listen to their users. @a Torba the owner. He posts every day, and not lame shit like @jack. Torba shitposts like us. Only reason I backed off Gab was I hated the people I was talking to. They were mostly Hitler did nothing wrong, the Jews did it people. Even if they are right(and I'm not saying they are) it got old hearing that BS constantly. You add a few million Trumpers, Pepes, and Pedes etc etc. Gab would be awesome like Twitter used to be 3-4 years ago.
