Gab is #537 highest traffic website in the US, up from #647 yesterday.

I agree with you about the political agitation but I would say its becoming less of an issue on Gab. Parler was quite toxic. However, I prefer MSN messenger style chatrooms, so I use Telegram mostly which has now reached 500 million daily active users.

These platforms aren't just filled with people banned from facebook anymore, and will become less political as time goes on

It used to be that Parler was clean-ish and Gab was "problematic". Interesting that you think this swapped.

parler is owned by partisan media personalities such as dan bongino now. gab is political, but more so in terms of ideas and values. parler is explicitly, aggressively, partisan political from what i can see. I don't use either platform

I’m not as optimistic as your last prediction, unless Twitter and facebook start eating their own and that Sparks a more diverse range of points of view coming on board. I also think that in terms of interests, people joining these platforms will always have politics as number 1

If they get large quantities of Gen-X and baby boomers to move from FB to Gab, I think that will kill FB.

When they open up digital marketing on a platform thats less saturated, that will be the real test though. If Gab can do digital marketing decently corporations will start paying them money and stop criticising them so openly.
