I just have to rant about this Gab cultism which I think is suspicious and feels to me like the trappings of a covert marketing cult.

My first experience with Gab, years ago, while I was still on reddit in fact, and I had screenshots (still have them but would have to dig so deep its not worth it)

But I used a VPN, another account device isp (wifi coffee shop) and browser to confirm that yes, my account was invisible on GAB.

Excuse me please, but why in fuck are people repeating this nonsense about how Gab is uncensored, when at the very beginning they were shadowbanning people?

Since mine was a paid account--as in I was an early adopter--and I didn't even particularly do anything to be shadowbanned other than post reddit links and news articles I post here. I suspect that 'bigleaguepolitics.com' links maybe got me shadowbanned; and also, there was a 'translate from [mismatched language]' link under a few of my posts that were a telltale that they were using even the same software as twitter! it was the same language and technique, but also it copied the fact that sometimes it mismatched the wrong language 'translate from Korean'...!

I asked GAB support all these questions. I got NO reply. I mean NO reply. I followed up several times with a request for comments. I wasn't mean. Very simple questions.

No reply. Not even a boilerplate response like "sorry we are backlogged we'll get back to you in the order received' type of thing... no response at all

This was another huge red flag. Gab took my money, and gave me nothing. I got no value from the premium gab service. I basically just threw money into a black hole that hated me as a customer.

So this is why I rant. I'm never going to stop talking about this the more that you Gab cultists keep promoting GAB

I don't care if many of you still think this Torba character is a super Christian or something. You could just as well give all your money to the latest Billy Graham person, but that doesn't make you more of a Christian, or him. I still think Torba is a grifter.

And that is based on the actions GAB has taken with respect to ME, personally. You can have your own opinion based on your own experience--that is fine, this is America. But my experience has differed, wildly and I wish you would respect that I had my own experience and I am responding to that experience with GAB.


Full Disclosure: These are my true and honest observations. I am not being compensated in any way for saying this. I don't work for any company. These postings including this one are my own thoughts and I have no higher agenda than the truth. In this case, these are my opinions based on my experience. Torba is more than welcome to finally respond to me and try to prove he's the real deal by acting like a Christian instead of virtue signalling with God Selfies on other platforms.
