FWIW Gab very proudly proclaims that they report things to law enforcement if they cross a legal line. I could be wrong but I would think that if the FBI was trying to entrap people they would not want to give such a warning.

I think you are wrong, stating it prominently and repeatedly makes the warning disappear into noise for users so there's little downside and a lot of upside if it were in fact being operated by the FBI.

I doubt it is though, I don't think the FBI has the capability to be frank, but even more if the FBI were operating it as a honeypot somehow I doubt that the websites would have been banned from AWS and such.

I'm sure that if it were true the FBI could have easily just told AWS that the presence of extremist content was being allowed by law enforcement specifically to identify terrorists.

I think the idea that it's a honeypot is a very poor fit to the available information.
