I've setup a social media account for TubeShift at Gab which you can find here https://gab.com/tubeshift

I setup a Twitter account too though it's really only out of morbid curiosity. I ran into my first bit of censorship on my third post! I was unable to submit a link to a funny video where YouTube is acting like a thug demanding a content creator censor themselves. The Tweet was rejected as being "potentially harmful content" - I'm not exactly sure what it's harming except the reputation of companies that like to censor. https://twitter.com/TubeShiftPlugin/status/13796110972594053...

Here's the video on BitChute - be careful though Twitter thinks this is harmful. https://www.bitchute.com/video/25cQBXfjgpLo/

"I've setup a social media account for TubeShift at Gab"

...oh

Yep. If the "red, white and blue" TubeShift icon, the "Ditch Big Tech" tagline, and the link to the far-right video hosting platform BitChute weren't loud enough dog whistles, this one is.
What exactly is being whistled? Can you please be specific?
Isn’t Gab that site for far-right extremists?

Why not Mastodon instead?

I have my own account on Gab independent of TubeShift and I find it to be the most fun. Gab is nuts but so am I so it works out well.

I routinely fight with the users that worship Torba and call them a cult as a hobby. I like the conflict.

I routinely harras Torba and tell him to fix his crap software and call him incompetent. Then I fight off his cult backing him up with out thought. I like the conflict.

It's fun.

I think you have your answer. Watch the video they posted, too.
There's plenty of stuff on Barricade Garage's channel that you would consider far right. But perhaps you should consider that his message is actually that the establishment successfully keeps us from cooperating by perpetuating a left vs right narrative. The reason they do this is so we don't unite against them.

I think he has a pretty good point. You could try listening to some of his "far right" views. They are in YouTube and BitChute: "CNN INTERVIEW GONE WRONG" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb0lh3_s4Dk and "HE GOT HIT WITH THAT BIG MAC" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PWiMiO5Buo

I've never seen a member of the "far right" throw gang signs before.

I thought Facebook and Gmail were the sites that far-right extremists use most.
