Gab is the truth. Not sure why they got leapfrogged and went straight to Parler.

Same with OANN and RSBN. They have been MAGA from the beginning with full unwavering support. Newsmax did very little, and they recieved a huge unearned boost from our side.

Because:

  1. The wolves in sheep's clothing pushed them, and

  2. Parler had an app

The subverted platforms always have more gloss and polish because that's where the "controlled opposition" money got steered to. If you want based content anymore, it requires extra steps. Always. The oligarchs are not on our side.

Parler had an app

Gab had an app, and an extension. Then tech companies colluded to take those away (Firefox, Apple, and Google, all worked in lockstep).

At that point, everyone should have known: if you have an app, it's because your enemies let you have that app. Same with a browser extension.

Now gab has their own browser, and their own everything (except cloudflare, and commies are trying to exploit that).

"Having an app" just means you have bent the fucking knee. Parler was always going to get wrecked. Maybe some billionaire comes in to save them, maybe there's a dissenting voice. But look at the terrible job they have done with that data leak, look how they pretended that gab couldn't be trusted because they allow free speech, look how parler behaved just like twitter but in lowercase.

Trusting them is a very big risk at this point.
