In actuality, Gab bans users for the same reason Twitter does. For instance, when Paul Nehlen tried to organize harassment of another white nationalist figure, Gab banned him. Part of Gab's sales pitch is that it's a refuge for people whose thoughts are somehow too dangerous for Twitter. But contrary to what Gab wants you to believe, Twitter doesn't ban white nationalists. Richard Spencer has a Twitter account. So does Faith Goldy. For that matter, so does Gab, which has posted openly anti-Semitic comments in the past, and still has a verified checkmark!

Gab also banned people who posted anime porn, sending them in flocks to ActivityPub instances.

The users Gab banned were already on such instances by and large, in particular smuglo.li and pawoo.net.

Faith Goldy is not a white nationalist

Faith Goldy literally said the 14 words and claimed they weren't controversial in a recording.

If we aren't putting her in the white nationalist classification I'm not sure who does end up there.
