@zaitcev @terryenglish @moonman Gab is literally one of the worst functioning instances on the network, both technically and in terms of community. Threads with other instances often appear broken. At least 1 in 10 posts are blatant bots, and the users that aren't are often so monotonous (dare I say NPC?) that they're indistinguishable from bots. The legitimate users are so autistic and obsessed with politics they're impossible to talk to. It's literally all you motherfuckers have to talk about. Overzealous jannies mute most of the few instances that don't block Gab (the excuse they use is porn, but the ones they mute in reality tend to be those critical of Gab, such as Kiwi Farms and Free Speech Extremist). The Gab team are constantly e-begging for millions of dollars to fund new projects that always end up either being worse versions of things that already exists, or cancelled due to lack of interest.

It's such a shitshow that it's legitimately hilarious.

@deadheat It's too bad because that money could have easily gone to companies that have the expertise and ability to deliver *cough* *cough* . There is clearly a demand for social networks that allow for free speech and expression but instead those at created a cult of personality wrapped in a hugbox. @moonman

@moonman @terryenglish I wonder what made someone with no background, knowledge or even arguably genuine interest in technology to create that social network. People call him a scammer, but I don't think he ever imagined he would get the financial support he ended up with.

@zaitcev A technically inferior Mastodon instance hugbox for right and far right wing boomers at best. At worst a FBI honeypot plus everything else previously listed. @moonman

@moonman He's such a fucking dumbass. No wonder is in the state that it's in.

@moonman I don't understand. Wasn't he given a huge sum of money by his user base? Why didn't he just build his own infrastructure? I guess he didn't anticipate insane shit like that happening.

Is it just me or is sync and browser synchronization more generally kind of a dumb idea?

@moonman Statements like that sorta adds credence to the whole " is a FBI honeypot" theory.
