Gab is an alt-right pro-fascist anti-american hate platform.
They did exactly that, just slapped their shitbrained lipstick on someone else's creation.
I can't remember why, but when it came out I signed up.
It's been kind of interesting watching it slowly understand it's userbase and shift that way.
While I don't think you are wrong, per se, I think you are missing the most important thing that ties it all together:
They are Christian nationalists.
The emails I get from them started out as just the "we are pro free speech!" and slowly morphed over time in just slowly morphed into being just pure Christian nationalism. But now that we've said that, I can't remember the last time I received one. Wonder what happened?
I'm not the only one that noticed that then.
It seemed mildly interesting at first, the idea of a true free speech platform, but as you say, it's slowly morphed into a Christian conservative platform that that banned porn and some other stuff.
If anyone truly believed it was ever a “true free speech” platform, they must be incredibly, incredibly naive or stupid.
Free speech as in "free (from) speech (we don't like)"
