@FooBeerBaz@mastodon.social @realcaseyrollins@us.tv Unfortunately, I did not address this in my podcast despite talking about my experience on Gab on it.
I would like to say this; although they are not the most popular accounts, there are plenty of Gabbers who are great people, and aren't alt-right or racist at all. (In fact, there are two liberals, @stirringthepot and @TImW381, who I would say are worth following.) Futhermore, there are some really good #MSM news bots on Gab, such as @cnn_robot and @nytbot@gab.com.
In short, #Gab adds conservatives (who I find are slightly underrepresented in the #Fediverse), some liberals who post interesting content, and a few good news bots to the community.

Humm.....liberal? Considering most of the social advancements were championed by liberals...then maybe I am. But I consider myself more of a defender of truth. I will challenge anyone that is lying or promoting lies. What I often find is that after supplying numerous links to facts, instead of refuting the facts in an article, the source is denigrated...not the facts. And when people run out of any reasonable replies, and after making childish insults, then mostly they shoot a last insult and block.
I have challenged Casey on numerous occasions as he will confirm. He will also confirm that I don't go in for opinions. Everyone has one....but they are not proof of unsupported facts.
@TImW381 @realcaseyrollins @FooBeerBaz @realcaseyrollins @cnn_robot @nytbot I can’t speak to your exchanges with Casey being unfamiliar with them and can only say I’ve had no negative experiences with him and our exchanges have transpired in an adult and measured fashion - to wit, I don’t have an issue with him.
@stirringthepot @realcaseyrollins @FooBeerBaz @realcaseyrollins @cnn_robot @nytbot I don't either....other than him posting to me without it being in a reply to the thread he is talking about......leaving me with NO IDEA what he is talking about. LOL
Oh...and the drive by guy resurface for another shot then blocked:

@TImW381 A FACT is a FACT what does it matter WHO they come from ? You #ShortBusRidingWindowLickingMentalMidget
@TImW381 @realcaseyrollins @FooBeerBaz @realcaseyrollins @cnn_robot @nytbot @TheRealBooBreeze re facts, exactly though it surely galls some.
@stirringthepot @realcaseyrollins @FooBeerBaz @realcaseyrollins @cnn_robot @nytbot @TheRealBooBreeze
The thing is...Stevie never posts any!! lol
@stirringthepot @FooBeerBaz@mastodon.social @realcaseyrollins@us.tv @TImW381 @cnn_robot @nytbot@gab.com
I see; I tend to separate ideology from party affiliation, but did not mean to insinuate to others that your are a Democrat.
On the thread issue, that is an issue that I think stems from the software; I'm not intentionally breaking the threads. (If you click the #QOTO link you should be able to see the full thread tho. I often have to do this with #Pleroma replies, myself.)
@realcaseyrollins @FooBeerBaz @realcaseyrollins @TImW381 @cnn_robot @nytbot not a problem just an fyi,
though if I were either I wouldn’t have a problem saying so
@realcaseyrollins @FooBeerBaz @realcaseyrollins @TImW381 @cnn_robot @nytbot a correction if you will, something of a misnomer to characterize me as liberal - I subscribe to no party and consider myself to be fiercely independent, so much so if the current administration were a “liberal” one and behaving in the same way I would be all over them just as I have with previous administrations and the current one.
There are conservative and liberal tenets I agree with, some might characterize that as being conflicted but I believe it speaks to seeking a balance - something sorely lacking in this country.
My approach is if any want to respond in a coherent manner I will reciprocate in kind, if they want to get stupid then bring it on. I don’t block unless someone attempts a parting shot and then scurries to hit the block button as if that somehow proves their point, then it’s tit for tat.
You are something of an anomaly in the gab environment conducting yourself with aplomb
and the ability to converse intelligently - appreciate that and carry on.
