The very first thing I ran into were several white supremacists saying some extremely nasty things about jews and blacks. Things that were offensive to all walks of life. They all have accounts plastered with pictures of hitler, swastikas and the KKK. This is not my idea of free speech......his is actually the definition of hate speech. If you have any conservative or moral values this place will make your skin crawl. Absolutely disgusting

Gab is NOT freedom of speech friendly!
Gab seems like a free speech platform and brags as being one, so I joined. I never threatened anyone or posted any illegal or violent comments or content. Im conservative, a Trump supporter and a Bill of Rights activist. I never violated any of Gab's policies, and I really enjoyed being able to speak my mind, or so I thought... I woke up this morning, logged into Gab and Zuckerberg, excuse me... Torba had banned my profile for no valid reason. But of course, he reserves the right to ban you at "his discretion". So much for freedom of speech...
As for being a right wing site, I would have to disagree. Trump would do well to avoid Gab as he has no stronger supporter than myself, and this is how Gab treated me. I am not racist, nor am I violent. I don't support any groups that promote criminal activity. I have a petition to give Florida the ability to RECALL so we can remove anti-Constitutional politicians like Rubio, Wasserman-Schultz, Crist and others in Florida that oppose free speech and the Bill of Rights. I'm fighting to protect our Republic and the Constitution and Gab suspended me for it! I am Patriot party and an activist for American freedom. Yet I don't deserve to have a voice in Gab... I have seen violent content and people promoting hate in Gab and all I seek is freedom and I'm banned? Hypocritical to say the least...

This is where systemic racism is not only encouraged but preached. This app is used by racists and white supremacists and is dangerous for our societies.

Caution if you pay for GabPRO upgrade
I recently joined Gab and expected operational problems since they were undergoing unprecedented growth. My problem wasn't with technical issues, but rather when a new visitor would sign up for GabPRO which upgrades your account features and you have a distinctive visible identifier showing that you are subscribing and supporting the website, your payment is accepted then your account is not upgraded. When I tried to bring this up with help, I noticed my posting there disappeared. My priority on the site seemed to diminish to the point where I couldn't function at all without extreme difficulty, and I found myself basically talking to myself, I had no apparent visibility to others... and I paid for this... In the end I documented that I never received the service I paid for, and then deleted my account. Too bad, I think I would have been a good customer otherwise.

Tried to sign up for a GAB account…
Tried to sign up for a GAB account today 15/1/21, but upon submission of the sign-up form, an error is returned saying I've used an "invalid email address". Dunno what that is about, but I assume that they have some badly coded filtering on the email text field which is incorrectly rejecting correctly formatted email addresses.
I always find it strange when coders do silly sanitisation on form field entry boxes. I see them from time to time on ecommerce checkout forms of smaller companies. For example... rejecting an entered telephone number, because it includes a space between the trunk code, and the local number. I mean, why don't the programmers just take the space out at the filter stage, if they don't want a space?
I've never seen my email address rejected as invalid before, by any site...?
