@Jessica@oneway@terryenglish Torba is a boring normal not very smart guy. This can't be repeated often enough. He not only had no idea what free speech online implied, he never spent that much time online, being a scheming grifter at heart. He would be much better off fully federating and taking advantage of the trolling opportunities triggering unsuspecting users of new instances. Endless controversy, but without any collateral damage.
@judgedread@oneway@terryenglish Gab is an echo chamber. It's not any better than twitter. Just because it federates with *some* instances doesn't mean it's federated. It might as well not be on the fediverse at this point.
@terryenglish@oneway Somewhere I have a screencap of Rob Colbert explaining why he is hiding the fediverse from Gabbers. Basically he implies they are a bunch of pussies.
@terryenglish@oneway It is busier than most instances, getting between 15 and 30 posts a minute most of the time and occasionally peaking at 40 posts a minute, but they're partially blocking most of the fediverse.
Weird how all it takes to be an antifeminist troll on spinster is quit being a mod, delete your account, go to another instance, then literally only interact with the women who talk to me first or my irl friends and otherwise leave them alone. Damn, no wonder the world is so unbearably terrifying to them.
