Why...? I don't know that at all. I really doubt it in fact.
I really don't want to have any frendly fire, so I hope it's not taken this way, but I really don't see how. I wish you are right, though. As it is, I've seen quite a lot of discussion backing Gab's technical inexpertise level and ineptitude pretty hard. Things in this thread suggest it's true.
Just don't see why we should venerate him to such a degree like this. To do what you said you'd probably need to have amazing talent in hacking, and/or a lot of wealth. Not sure he has either at this moment, not counting some based hacker coming to his aid. He did a good thing by being publicly anti-Leftie and giving a platform to people, but good deeds have no bearing on cybersecurity. Nor does roasting lefties make someone capable in that field (in fact roasting lefties is the easiest thing to do).
His credibility comes from his foresight into the types of censorship in big tech years ago, to the point that he invested in self hosted tech stack that was not dependent on big tech infrastructure. So far this has been proven to be solid.
Technical competencies aside, the man is a devout Christian and comes across to those who use Gab and see his posts to be someone with integrity.
If this were true, then you can imagine that competitors in silicon Valley and the political establishment will view Gab as enablement of dissenting views which they will do everything in their power to bring down.
You just know Andrew Torba is going deep and finding out exactly who is behind this. Scorched fucking earth.
