Andrew Torba ✝️ on Gab: '“In fact, Torba will probably see a bonus effect of eradicating the larger part of the trolls and paid propagandists, because the former won’t pay to play and he just increased the cost of doing business for the latter. So, it’s a ...
He's making uploading media only for paying members. You can join for free and post however much text you like. It is a situation specific to GAB since they are banned from every large web server provider, so they have to do their own infrastructure.
Hey man stop using your brain. That's frowned upon around here. Pfft. Gab Man BAD!! ! !
Given how much backlash he is getting from his own users, it looks like he is hurting his company quite seriously.
The gab community has given him other suggestions, like deleting old posts after a few years. That sort of solution would likely lead to far fewer people leaving in protest.
Cont. Part of a free speech website is the ability to use it anonymously. If payment is required it is no longer anonymous.
I'm sure many people were using / donating anonymously, that way even though they are supporting Gab they are not linking their specific account to their real name that would allow them to be doxxed.
It's his business. He can do it however he chooses.
Data storage is expensive. He should make everyone who posts over a certain amount pay, or put a limit in per week, or have posts over 3 years old auto-delete.
I never used it. I can't get anything done if I am not careful.
In situations like these a founder needs only to listen to the community. Rarely in my experience does that happen. Remember Ruqqus?
a) Foundation implies basis of an edifice; community implies aggregate upon the basis of an edifice...being implies edifice (life) within basis (inception towards death).
Aggregation isn't needed; it's wanted, hence tempting edifice to overburden self within basis.
b) LIST, verb - "to enlist; to lean or incline to a side; to desire"...aka ones choice to want (suggested); while ignoring need (perceivable).
LIST'EN, verb - "to obey; to yield to advice; to follow admonition; to attend"...hear/ear implies center of perceivable sound; which inspires resistance aka shelter from noise; not submission to suggested directions by others.
a) Initiation from above; degrees from below.
b) Suggesting in the name of foundation (founder) that others should climb to reach, will amass upon foundation a pile of those falling over each other climbing.
c) GAB - "to talk much; loquacity" aka babble/babel aka building those towers of confusion (babel) with idle chatter (babble) until they collapse upon foundation.
Foundation (mishnah) for towers (gemara) aka perceivable foundation (inspiration) for suggested towers (information) aka building (solid) while ignoring foundation (liquid).
Anyway...Fee for Vieh (German cattle).
