https://fediverse.network/

shows you the different islands or sites that make up the universe

we have uniquely high "peers" which might signify an attack.

gab.com has joined the fediverse after bashing it earlier. freespeechextermists has a lot of people worth following.

overall, the whole thing is starting to work pretty well.

i notice someone abused my email last night, so possibly some kind of attack.

We had some server issues which should be fixed now, as well as doing an upgrade and some cosmetic fixes like making the column's wider.

Not having a cellphone is a smart choice and one I should've stuck to myself. I've been doing the cellphone thing for a little over a decade now. I prefer landline as it's not only more reliable but frees one from having to talk on the phone whenever they're out and about having an actual social life.

Gab Implements Paywall for Media Uploads: Users React to Platform's New Policy Shift


Gab's introduction of a paywall for media uploads has stirred up a storm within its community. Discover the reasons behind this decision and the potential impact on Gab's user base and platform dynamics.

Gab Implements Paywall for Media Uploads: Users React to Platform's New Policy Shift

Amidst the rising concerns over platform sustainability, Gab, a social media network known for its far-right user base, has introduced a policy change that mandates a subscription for media uploads. Announced by Gab's founder, Andrew Torba, this move aims to tackle the platform's bot problem and secure financial stability but has ignited a wave of backlash among its community.

Strategic Shift or Community Rift?

In an effort to combat the financial strain of supporting free media uploads, Gab has decided to limit this feature to only those users who support the platform financially through a subscription model. Starting in March, only paying members will have the privilege to upload large images and videos. This policy is a direct response to the challenges posed by bot accounts, which have been exploiting the platform's resources by uploading vast quantities of media. The decision, however, has not been met with unanimous support. A significant portion of Gab's user base has voiced their discontent, labeling the move as exclusionary and predicting it will lead to a decline in active users.

Community Backlash and the Gab AI Controversy

The announcement was quickly followed by criticism from users who viewed the policy as a misstep that could potentially alienate the platform's core user base. Many suggested alternative approaches to solving the bot issue, such as enhanced security measures or user verification processes. Additionally, the reveal of Gab AI, a chatbot that generates images of white individuals, and its profitability, has further fueled the debate, with some users questioning the allocation of resources towards this project. Critics argue that investments in Gab AI divert funds from essential infrastructure and community support.

Gab users aren't happy about this new policy, and they've been expressing their disapproval with memes:

That's retarded. Running websites has costs. You have 3 options: 1> Site is littered with ads (assuming you can get advertisers) 2> You get donations 3> The owner has to foot the bill for everyone else.

There's nothing wrong with him asking for donations, especially for hosting image/video media or other features that are costly.

Entitled internet fags are more jewey than the person hosting them and asking for people to chip in to get full access to the site.

I agree that it's wrong to call Torba greedy and compare him to a jew since this new policy seems to be his response to a genuine problem (i.e. enemies trying to destroy his site):

Quote:
He claimed Gab “faced an onslaught of bot accounts over the past few months that we believe are purposely uploading tons of media files on purpose to flood our storage space,” which they can no longer afford to pay for.

However, lots of Gab users think that this is unacceptable, and they're apparently leaving Gab for other social media sites, like Poast.

Torba also banned Gab's pissraeli posters, supposedly because they disrupted threads and spammed the site with porn (most likely interracial porn in which white women are defiled by negroes, which is something that jewish internet posters are known for promoting).
