good to see people are finally making their on websites and chat channels and are moving away from big tech websites.

maybe for the same reason people consume the same breakfast products even tho they know it contains the poison Roundup. Stupidity or laziness? Corporations love how dumb you are!!...

corporations are super dirty... they target the weak and naive, females and children, with patently false gaslighting propaganda, using fake hollywood "gods" who are contracted to seduce the audience with lies and half truths... what else would an organization of dirty-gypsies do?!...

If its not censored the left will attempt to have it shut down. They just call their associates who run payment processors, ISPs and most all the other services required to run a site. They are the gatekeepers of the internet. They make the rules. They would have to do as gab did. Decentralize the servers and find speech friendly services.

you make good points.

I wouldn't say they are the gatekeepers, but they are definitely trying to be.

need more tech knowledge. how many servers would you have to buy and keep in your downstairs basement in order to host a chat site?

When I say gatekeepers Im not saying any single entity has 100 percent but together they cover most of the network in the US. The left comes up with all kinds of nasty tricks to shut down sites.

Im not well versed in networking knowledge but I think there would be a formula or basic starting point based on what a projected number of users and the amount of data, traffic etc as a starting point.

What gab has done was to use mastadons system. Its already built. It was supposedly designed to be decentralized and resistant to being shutdown that way. I have heard that if you want to operate independently you basicly need your own ISP, payment processor etc but there are speech friendly processors and other services now although Im sure theres not many.

Hopefully the balance will shift with changing attitudes about speech when enough lefties get caught up in their own mess.
