@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.
