The post doesn't appear on Torbas gab, and doesn't show up on any of the archived repositories either. I think this is just a LARP fake post floating around the internet.
Even if Gab was compromised, how would they have gained access to Torba's 'porn folder'? Did they hack his computer? Highly unlikely.
The SQL injection method they claim to have possibly used would only be useful if the attacker had a detailed overview of the exact SQL schema used in the database. It doesn't just give you full access to the database because you used it.
It is also telling that the only developer commentary being pushed by the tech sites is by a facebook developer. Leaving a git commit open ended was an incredibly dumb move, but it wasn't earth shattering by any means either. The more I read about this 'hack' attack the more I am convinced that it is much ado about nothing.
It almost seems like Torba's manufactured the entire thing, as the 'change' in the code Ars Technica and Wired have both pointed out as a smoking gun happened before Torba claimed they were hacked.

But its not.
Do a reverse image search and check Torba's feed. We have a handshake account posting this, and surprise surprise, the only image found of this.. Is this image. From this thread.
