What I meant by “leave the reservation” was that Gab as a company was not in line or subservient to the big companies (Google, Facebook, Apple). Apple banned their app a long time ago even. I believe this sets a precedent for other smaller companies that also do not fall in line. We’ve seen this many times now. Getting deplatformed is a scary thing and it only happens to those that don’t fall into line. You never see extremists on the left that call for violence against conservatives get deplatformed. What we're seeing is one platform being taken down because they were vocally in support of free speech, which the others are not.

Gab had a lot of bad apples, yes. Their moderation could have been a lot better. I’m not even sure what their moderation was. I thought they didn’t allow for calls of violence on their platform actually. But I guarantee if we count the amount of calls for violence on Twitter, it will be vastly higher than Gab. But I digress.

How long until Mastodon apps are taken out of app stores just because some bad people have Mastodon servers?
