Gab CEO Has MASSIVE Surprise For Anti-Trumpers… This is Genius

https://populist.press/gab-ceo-has-massive-surprise-for-anti-trumpers-this-is-genius/

I’ve stayed off of Gab so far. I looked at it when it was brand new, but was concerned that it seemed to be attracting all the white separatist types (the frog logo should have been a clue). But I may have to give it another look.

Just saw the pope on OANN talking about getting the vaccine.   So the story re: Francis is BS.   Is the rest of it BS, as well?

The Dems, Big Tech, and the MSM have now a total lock on mass communication. i just watched the CEO of Parler on Maria Bartiromo’s show. Amazon shut them down and gave them 24 hours notice to find an alternative and migrate their data. This is an impossibility. He said they are not able to find anyone that will take them - they are all scared or in on the plan. Their email provider also dumped them. Even their law firm dumped them. This isn’t an accident; this is being coordinated by the Democrats so that they can eliminate conservatives ability to communicate and organize.

Given that, how in the world do you expect Republicans to organize reach out to voters?

Nah... That's hokum. There's TONS of places to park that site. And it will be back sometime next week. That CEO is just pimping the deal... His donations are probably through the roof, and I don't blame the guy for capitalizing on that. And they took out Parler, not MeWe or hundreds of others... To include this site and all the others on the Conservative side.  And btw. they will rue the day they dd this to Parler. Twitter is going to wake up to a surprise monday morning. And I will predict right now this is the best thing that could happen to Parler. This stunt will jack them right up into the stratosphere.

Why isn't this a mostly peaceful protest, in the context of the BLM riots over the summer?

Well,  there was the additional component of sedition encouraged by the President of the United States.

Entire blocks were not looted and burned. No way it qualifies as a "peaceful protest".

Just signed up there. I have a different nick there, but they are growing by leaps and bounds as well, and are independent of "Big Tech" so they aren't under that banhammer. People make a site, and a solid influx of Conservatives can only improve one. I see twitter swirling into the Leftist echo chamber it is becoming, and fecebook is getting worse by the day.

The nation saw it happen before its eyes.  Did you see the footage of the police officer screaming as he was nearly crushed to death?

It is time for patriotic Trump supporters to do the difficult thing and separate yourselves from the man.

I'll have to check it out as well now that Parler is offline.

This fellow has been described as an old-fashioned liberal. He founded and writes for The Intercept. Here's his take, tweeted:

Glenn Greenwald  @ggreenwald
Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?
Zero.
The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bullshit pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start.

For those asking the basis for that last claim: I spent the weekend reporting on the removal of Parler from the internet, including reviewing lots of documents and interviewing people associated with the companies involved, including Parler.
The article will be up shortly.

Dunno if its real or not. But if it weren't for the behavior of the rats and their cabal I wouldn't bother listening to this stuff.
I listened to this last night, right before Parler went offline.

I did manage to Create a Gab account yesterday morning, but a LOT of  people joined and it slowed their site way down.
Parler is gone now, thanks to Apple and Amazon, but they say they will be back.
I will keep my twitter account going, for now, and probably get off of it after inauguration day.

I tried registering at CloutHub, but it got bogged down and never responded once I submitted the info. Cannot tell whether I'm registered there or not, but that seems to be another very popular landing site for conservatives.

It's just as well. I need to spend less time online, and more time dusting the furniture in the living room.  :laugh:

I don’t agree with that at all. Parler isn’t some rinky-dink little web site. The nature of both Twitter and Parler makes it quite challenging to scale up to many users. You can’t get away with a simple single database back end fronted by some app servers. Parler was using “hundreds of servers”, and they were already struggling to scale.

Also don’t discount that Amazon gave them 24 hours to move including migrating their data. They could have easily made them take it offline but allowed them to retain the data until they were able to migrate. By doing it this way they (legally, IMHO) made a big mistake, and I would expect a lawsuit to prevail despite whatever ToS they have. Also a big factor that those arrested in DC weren’t Parler users.

@mystery-ak

I appreciate this. I was pretty invested in both Twitter and Facebook, but last week deactivated both my accounts. It’s very isolating to be in a forced lockdown, working for a big tech company where you are afraid to speak your mind, and then have all social media taken away. This site has been a godsend for my mental state. Thank you!

The way things are going with the left ramping up their crusade against opposition I have to wonder if leaving social media won't end up being a blessing in disguise.
