For Trump, this alternative seems to be the platform Gab . This Twitter look-alike is known as a haven for people with far-right ideas. And another advantage for Trump and his followers: this platform has hardly any rules. Threats of violence are not allowed, but hate speech is not prohibited. After Trump's permanent Twitter ban, Gab gained 10,000 new users per hour .
After Twitter and Facebook shut down Trump’s accounts, many other services and providers pulled the plug on organizations and forums that were amplifying the Capitol attack. This happened with Parler , for example . The social media platform has been offline since Monday morning, because major tech companies have ended their partnership.
The demise of Parler added another layer to Gab's fortunes, as users sought an alternative platform whatsapp number list one without oversight of far-right content.
Gab: “ At Gab, we believe that the future of online publishing is decentralized and open. We believe that users of social networks should be able to control their social media experience on their own terms, rather than the terms set down by Big Tech .”
Gab is no longer available for download in the app stores, but can be reached via gab.com . After a first scroll on Gab, it immediately becomes clear what the (current) focus of the platform is. Definitely worth a look.
