Well it looks like the alternate social media site gab.com appears to have solidified itself among some in the MAGA media complex as the other social network. Free of left wing losers and media bias. It has since grown to 800K users following the reveal that the Pittsburgh shooter used the site to make threats against Jews.

Recently I can point to posts where the community has been staging campaigns to get Rupert Murdoch and Fox News on board. Fox News and most of it's hosts have not tweeted anything since November 8 and it's unclear why. Industry insiders claim it's a silent protest.

This is not a bad thing. It makes them easier to monitor. :mrgreen:

Being that they failed to court Donald away from twitter and reddit. I'm not so sure they are big enough to monitor yet. They've been freaking out about the Bush coverage on Fox News today, b/c they say he's a "liberal."

I think Fox is obviously protesting, and good on them for sticking to it. In a world of click bait and pathetic need to be noticed and get "likes", I think it takes discipline to eschew the platform.
Apparently, FOX's rating are none the worse for doing so.

In this case I consider quality to trump (no pun intended) quantity. Sure, there are less than a million of them, but they're probably the most extreme.

Yep at least whoever trolls reddit for the administration, knows well enough to stay away from gab.
 
Thanks to the OP for the tip.

I am glad that Gab is allowed to stay on the Web -- at least for now. When the Democrats take complete control of the government in 2020, that may change, of course.

I have just visited Gab.

Since I was not a member, I was allowed to read only some of its contents.

I found some interesting posts and images.

I checked out its posting rules and discovered that almost anything goes EXCEPT calls for violence and any illegal kinds of porno.
 
Who? What? Never even heard of it. Is that an alternative to the Dem underground of something? Heck, I hope they have moderators who rat on people when necessary. Aside from that, I could care less who enjoys their 1st Amendment.
