Also tired of 30 day band for minor ”violations.”Oct 29, 2018 12:11pmJeff UrizenTrump should switch to gabOct 29, 2018 12:11pmBernard HoltPretty sure Gab is downOct 29, 2018 12:31pmCurt Doolittlethis is the current homepage. they will be up shortlyOct 29, 2018 12:40pmRoy BlackheartAre you going to be on GAB when it comes back up?Oct 29, 2018 12:47pmCurt Doolittlei have an account yesOct 29, 2018 12:49pmVincenzo LaSalaVerified nobodies. Classic.Oct 29, 2018 1:46pmMiles KeenanGoing gabOct 29, 2018 1:52pmRafael AureliusIf only there were some kind of censorship resistant payment method that anyone in the world could use to pay for Gab.Oct 29, 2018 2:44pmJean LeonardI signed up last night, but I probably don’t have time for it.Oct 29, 2018 4:11pmBen HartselleAndrew is copeposting hereOct 29, 2018 8:07pmBen HartselleYa but even if they used it, the problem would be getting it into and out of fiat to pay employees, vendors, etc.
It’s the choke points of ed entry and exit into the banking system.
I always figured a major use case for crypto would be freedom from government interference, not an oppressive corporate theocracy.
20012 libertarian me BTFOOct 29, 2018 8:18pmCurt Doolittlelink?Oct 29, 2018 8:30pmBen HartselleI mean that Andrew’s above post is probaby copeposting. Daily Stormer went through all this before, they broke completely new ground in getting censored, and were reduced to publishing on TOR periodically while Weev worked out solution after solution.
If the eye of Sauron/big tech gets focused on you, it’s VERY difficult to continually come up with constant workarounds and maintain your business.
If DS wasn’t essentially one publisher, a writing staff and one of the world’s top security researchers doing pro-bono work for the site full-time, they’d still be permanently off the Internet.
If weev (ironically banned from Gab) and AA don’t see a long term solution after working on it for a year, and one of /ourguys/ trying to BUY A BANK to build a new payment processor with $100,000,000 and stopped from doing so, we’re running out of options within the current Internet ecosystem.
But by all means, remove all other options for us to exert our will and spread our ideas.Oct 29, 2018 8:52pmMichael KabanoffSo Gab is essentially a honey pot operation 😏?Oct 30, 2018 1:39amMichael KabanoffWould make sense. Lure all the ‘extremists’ to one site where they are easier to monitorOct 30, 2018 1:39amMichael KabanoffLet’s all move to MySpace.Oct 30, 2018 1:39amDougium RingThat’s because the transition hasn’t happened yet. The whole point of crypto is to move beyond the necessity of fiatOct 30, 2018 3:27amJim LeisWe expect this shit from the left. But it’s the libertarians who’s heads should be spinning while they argue that every private company has the right to deplatform Gab.Oct 30, 2018 7:44amCurt Doolittle^ Never happen. Fiat = Shares in the Economy. What *WILL* happen is multiple fiat currencies for the multiple purposes. This will change economics dramatically. If necessary the states will crush competing currencies as otherwise they cannot respond to war and shock.Oct 30, 2018 9:37amDougium RingProof of work and proof of stake in crypto are consistent with types of shares in the economy.Oct 30, 2018 10:03amCurt Doolittleno. they are uninsured. the state insures. crypto doesn’t and cant. which is precisely why fiat money exists and is more advantagous than all other forms of money combined: insurability.Oct 30, 2018 10:09amDougium RingI’m aware that the state insures. It is entirely possible, and I believe likely, that the creation of insured notes via trusted institution (state) based on crypto will be a form of fiat, similar to the gold backed dollar.Oct 30, 2018 10:17am—“You have all just made Gab a nationally recognized brand as the home of free speech online at a time when Silicon Valley is stifling political speech”— Andrew Torba, CEO, Gab.com http://Gab.com
