Go look at Gab, it's not what it used to be.

When it was full of Nazis the place was intolerable because they harassed everyone that wasn't extreme. I never stuck around for that because the user experience was very poor. Those guys were assholes.

It's pretty tame right now by Gab standards. The influx of people after Parler was kicked off AWS really calmed the place down.

I haven't seen a Nazi since I signed up again a few months ago. There's even routinely people going around telling the open racists to stop being racist.

Gab's fine.

I'm very familiar with Gab. I check it quite often, because I (unfortunately) used to know the CEO.

"There's fewer Nazi's" isn't the ringing endorsement you think it is. If you're on Gab and you think "this is fine", you probably should take a look in the mirror.

Torba is something else.

There's almost none actually. People are asking 'where are the Nazis I keep hearing about?' You know why? They are being chased off.

Just like the population now is going after the open racists. This is a cultural shift at Gab as more and more normal people come in because they are being chased off other platforms.

It's not complicated.
