I've heard that Gab is a Jewish trick, and that the owner is, himself, a Jew. Is there any substance to this? (whatever)

EDIT: Provide support for your claims, please. I'm not looking for anecdotes. I'm not convinced by stories from other people.

I've yet to find anything except the reference to the Jewish word "Gabbai", but "gift of gab" is just as viable as a possible source of the name, no?

I've also seen something about someone being removed or having something censored. Was that not mentioned openly and done because the alternative was the removal of Gab from the host?

Lastly, someone was posting that you couldn't post anti-Jew stuff on Dissenter - doesn't the Vice article on the front page disprove that?

I get the overarching suspicion of anything being a Jewish psyop until proven otherwise, (thanks @Trigglypuff,) but:

A) Can it be proven otherwise?

B) If we avoid anything outside of Voat because of that possibility, we'll be self-censoring just like (((they))) want, no?

I'm on the fence; help me figure out which side is greener.

Published details about the founder Andrew Torba state he is Christian (various business sites, interviews, self identifies as) and he and his family are constantly posting christian stuff on Gab. I have not seen anybody offer any proof otherwise.

There have been a few high profile bans on Gab that have been the result of pressure from outside sources and bans due to TOS violations (dox, threats, murders etc...). For Example: Stormer was banned for a fake meme because the domain registration authority ( ICANN ) was threatening to pull registration rights from any registrar that serviced any site Anglin posted dead fat chick memes too. Little was banned for harassment / threat to dox and promoting holohoax museum vandalism. From what I saw of the exchanges from those two examples at the time I got the feeling the "victims" were trying to get banned as a means to self-promote.

As for Gab's utility as a micro blogging site it's 1000x better than Twitter but is not intended to be a Reddit-alike like VOAT or a Facebook-alike like Minds. It is what it is. Gab's utility is potentially much greater with the Dissenter "on page" comments widget though imho.

javascript:voNice astroturfing kike. Founder and owner of Gab is a verified kike.

We need gas chambers now. No more holohoax. We need the real thing.

I agree woth much of your accounting except for one bit.

From what I saw of the exchanges from those two examples at the time I got the feeling the "victims" were trying to get banned as a means to self-promote.

I don't know about Little, I wasnt following him. As far as Anglin and the Stormer, he has certainly used it as an angle of promotion but I strongly doubt that was intentional. It hurt him numbers wise by a good amount and the Streisand effect only works if there is SOME kind of positive exposure. There were almost no places you could even talk about the deplatforming at the time. So I think he has been trying to capitalize on it now, i would strongly doubt that was in any way intentional. Unless you think just having edgy wrongthink is ban seeking which I would fundamentally disagree with.

Anglin isn't banned like many people believe: https://gab.com/AndrewAnglin

See this on Little: https://voat.co/v/politics/3065729/17062935/10#17062935

I said I know nothing about the Little situation. I also never said Anglin was banned off Gab. He has been part of attenpted unpersoning and deplatforming. That isn't really a question

Personally I don't care about Gab at all because it seems all about seeking attention and being the "anti-twitter", but you are right about all the rumors and hearsay being trash. It's the same as with all the attacks on Little, always the same claims that they are Jewish shills, or feds without a single shred of proof. Of course some of it could be from people trying to discredit them, but a lot isn't. Just annoying BS.
