@josh why do you guys hate this guy so much? he's doing a good thing with Gab.

@josh Maybe, but Gab's grown a lot, had a lot of updates, its pretty cool.

Plus his mission is nobel, why not give him credit?

@DavidBond @josh @DavidBond @josh Gab stopped federating in order to make a comfier environment for boomers, which kind of ruins the whole decentralising in order to protect free speech thing it had going. People also get mad that he takes massive credit for low-effort reskins of open source shit. Also snitched accounts to the feds following a shooting.

Still, he's a mere mortal and I think he's trying his best. You'll never get boomers to use something minimally moderated anyway, so it's probably a better introduction to fediverse-related things than most instances for them. He's definitely sacrificed a fair bit for it.
@cassidyclown @DavidBond @josh >he's trying his best

He's got millions of dollars pumped into his shit. He doesn't need to try his best, he can hire someone who knows what they're doing to do his best for him.
@josh @DavidBond and it doesn't even try to hide it, IDK how people doesn't realize this.
@DavidBond @anokasion Use the millions of dollars he's siphoned off well-intentioned people to hire someone to manage everything for him. Fire the retard he has "working" on his product (read: ruining FOSS projects and closing their source). Fediverse.
@josh @DavidBond @anokasion Do you think there's something he's *getting* out of fucking around so much or is he truly just stupid?
@bbb @josh @DavidBond yeag good point; however, in the last years, 2020 in particular, it will be YouTube and Twitter stupid policies and choices for this.

@josh @anokasion lol you sound like the type of person who leaves hater comments on youtube videos.

Why don't you raise a million dollars and show us? I think Gab is cool, i'm only on here cuz its lagging so hard

@DavidBond @josh I'm only here because Gab did take notice of what Twitter was aiming to be and just copied it (very badly technically speaking) and aimed at the opposite; inb4 "but that was very clever", no it wasn't, Gab could have been a real Twitter-Facebook application if they learned about the mistakes that Google+ already did take the risk to make. But it was easier to appeal to the opposition of Twitter; ever wondered why the Gab account on Twitter is not only not banned but has a blue check mark?
@anokasion @DavidBond @josh Gab is symmetrical warefare against a much more powerful enemy.

This on the other hand is asymmetrical warefare against a much more powerful enemy.
@basadeskaiser @DavidBond @josh that was wise-speak. Haven't read in ages on the internet.

@DavidBond @anokasion @josh buckshot to the head. I wouldn’t trust his aim with some .45 acp even if he sucked on the barrel

@DavidBond @josh I agree that he’s going a good thing but it’s still hilarious and he’s an absurd human being.

@DavidBond @josh On second thought I don't care. Yeah go give Turbo your data. He's a noble Christian patriot and a free speech warrior that's never so much as looked at fed. Totally. You should give him money also.

@Agni @josh I don't give him any meaningful data.

I do have Gab pro though.
