Title: GAB Post by greggerypeccary on Jan 27th, 2025 at 7:09pm Has anyone heard of gab.com ? Gab is an American alt-tech microblogging and social networking service known for its far-right userbase. Widely described as a haven for neo-Nazis, white supremacists, white nationalists, antisemites, the alt-right, supporters of Donald Trump, conservatives, right-libertarians, and believers in conspiracy theories such as QAnon, Gab has attracted users and groups who have been banned from other social media platforms and users seeking alternatives to mainstream social media platforms. Founded in 2016 and launched publicly in May 2017, Gab claims to promote free speech, individual liberty, the "free flow of information online", and Christian values. Researchers and journalists have characterized these assertions as an obfuscation of its extremist ecosystem. Antisemitism is prominent in the site's content and the company itself has engaged in antisemitic commentary. Gab CEO Andrew Torba has promoted the white genocide conspiracy theory. |
Title: Re: GAB Post by greggerypeccary on Jan 27th, 2025 at 7:13pm Researchers note that Gab has been linked to radicalization leading to real-world violent events. The site received extensive public scrutiny following the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in October 2018. The perpetrator of the attack, Robert (Bobby) Gregory Bowers, had a history of making extreme, antisemitic postings on the platform, as well as messages indicating an immediate intent to cause harm before the shooting. After the shooting, Gab briefly went offline when it was dropped by its hosting provider and denied service by several payment processors. In 2021, Gab was among the platforms used to plan the United States Capitol attack on January 6. Also in 2021, Gab suffered from a data breach called "GabLeaks". |
Title: Re: GAB Post by greggerypeccary on Jan 27th, 2025 at 7:19pm It's an extreme, ultra-violent site. Robert (Bobby) Gregory Bowers, the suspected shooter in the attack against a Pittsburgh synagogue on October 27, 2018, maintained an active, verified Gab account where he displayed the neo-Nazi code-phrase "1488" and a bio that said, "jews are the children of satan". Just prior to the shooting, he used this account to post "HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in". I would hope that nobody in this forum is a member of a site like that which promotes hatred, racism and violence. |

That is what you did when you crossposted my mother’s death notice. No apology three years later. What a gutless, disgusting creep you are! Slimy! Then you did the same thing with the photo of myself and my now–dead mother. front bottom! |
Title: Re: GAB Post by SadKangaroo on Jan 29th, 2025 at 10:41am
There are cross posts he's made on that account and here, like the comment of Trump's balls being the size of the solar system.
There was, before he made it private, endless posts about "Mike" Obama just like he does here. And before who he follows, and who follows him was hidden behind the account going private, there were lots of people with twin lightning bolts in their profiles, ⚡⚡ Which as we know, twin lightning bolts in someone's profile often represent the SS symbol, a logo used by the Schutzstaffel (SS), a paramilitary organisation in Nazi Germany. This symbol has been adopted by modern neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups. Bobbi thought he was safe to express his true self in the echo chamber there, not realising it was there for all to see. Curious that the account was changed from clearly Bobbi's to pretending to be something else the moment he was exposed on here, then switch to private. I always thought you were just a supreme troll Bobbi, adopting all of Light's schtick, being full blown MAGA and frothing over literal wank material of Trump, but to find out you're just like Grap, Baron, Boris etc... That's very disappointing. |
