@Maximex What did you mean by the following? I can't even find one kernel of truth in it: > the GAB code is being built specifically to diverge from Big Tech. It wasn't our original intent, nor our choice; but there it is. As such, the GAB Code Is ultimately not going to operate the way Big Tech does. • The entire point of my original post was to verify my suspicion that Gab is not "diverging" from "Big Tech", but has converged to it precisely. (I had really, REALLY hoped it would diverge. 😪) • Whether divergence was "intent" or "choice" or implicatorily fated: "there it is", it was certainly ADVERTISED. → And it is not happening. → And it will not [sic] “Ever.” happen. And yet they've, apparently, sold at least one person (you) on the lie that it's, somehow, already happened. Can you share with me your thought process, there? • Yes, Torba may _promise_ to have lax moderation, and not to hide posts behind suppressing warnings like Twitter does…but, then, why did he close the website off to make escaping his moderation nontrivial? And why did he code in suppressive warnings in the first place?
