It was legitimately the best alternative option when it started off, and it got some momentum, and that's why people still use it. It's coasting. Moving is a huge pain in the ass, you have to start from scratch, there was no reason to think in the beginning that they'd progressively fold to...

Cringe. I've been slacking on menial Gab updates. so I'll cram them here. They're still working on Hydra Social (maybe the longest they've ever gone without giving up?) They're shipping a market place and a Paypal alternative with it. It looks like they decided not to partner with Strike...

They're going to release a new Dissenter browser that hopefully they can keep up to date. That's pretty good news if you use the site. Fosco is usually good to his word, I believe they're actually going to do it. In other news, this might be the first month in a very long time that they won't...

In the April update, Torba claims they're mostly working on the new backend and infrastructure for moving money. Which, we already knew. But some of the details are noteworthy. First of all, it seems like they aren't planning on using Strike anymore, which is a shame. They're the ones who...

That's a weird take. No, it really isn't that hard assuming it's possible on your phone. The only time I've ever had trouble was with my most recent phone, because Pixel 4 was practically brand new when I tried it. They're easy now. I think it's a great idea. Online education is cheap. Edit...

Update on Gab Phone: They're going to put out educational videos for normies to root their Android phones and install whatever they want. Which is... a surprisingly correct approach? I thought they'd go full retard and blow donor bux trying to produce thousands of physical units...

Gab's developers have been chimping out over follow spam for days. I'm a little suspicious of it. It's a legitimate problem but for them to come out so harshly after 5 years of nothing makes me think it's costing them.

You shouldn’t assume a site is dead just because it slows down when nothing is going on. You’ll see a similar ebb and flow in every growing site, especially with a monotonous topic. It’s rarely a steady linear climb. They’re still quite a bit more active than they have been for the majority of...

Seems like business as usual. He's a Paleocon, he doesn't like trannies in the Party. Not sure what the big deal is?

If this is true I'm never using Cloudflare again. Even with the quality of service that is an absurd liability to be bound to, not worth it.

Idk, over 50% for the number? But 0% chance ID that's just dumb. I hope it doesn't since I got rid of my phone number permanently, I want to shill my site on it.

Andrew has been crying over a business lolcow, Mike Lindell who is starting a competitor to Gab and Amazon, after initially pretending he was going to be supportive of Gab. I think Mike is running a scam, but Torbo has been pouting like a scorned girlfriend and it's pretty funny. Unfortunately...

Why would the site die just because they went back on everything they stood for?????

Gab will probably grow a lot off Trump's new site since it's basically the same demo. I expect full breakage. It's pretty normal for traffic to drop off after a spike like Gab had. It will probably level off pretty close to where it is now until another spike.

Triple post, but I can't group three announcements and an opinion from different times all together. Don't combine them, you janny faggots. Gab officially altered their verification process, you don't have to present any ID anymore. All you have to do it link to your Gab account on another...

Annoying. It's understandable that they don't have time for it between more important projects, but the responsible thing to do then would be to put a security warning on it, or take it down entirely. Most of their users don't know any better. re: Dissenter. "I think taking on more than we...

After Bowers, Gab started getting cancelled from everywhere, the old dev team quit, Andrew panicked and lost his fucking mind, sent FBI data and starting banning everyone, and the site was pretty much a disaster for the following 6 months (even more than usual.) The fallout from that is what...

They've made some embarrassing mistakes, but even if they hadn't, since they didn't go the route of user contributions and they gutted ActivityPub anyway, closing the source makes a lot of sense. I'm not surprised about it, or upset. I'm just disappointed, they could've made FOSS great again...

This is sort of "saying it without saying it" but called it. They're closing the source code as soon as Mastodon't is gone.

They've said this at least 3 times prior over 2 years. I can't take it seriously anymore, it never happens.
