Wow. That's from crowd investment alone.
The creator calls Silicon Valley full of liberal elites too.
I can't help but feel nervous, like Trumplites are coming for Tech and winning grassroots support.

Eh, I'd say things are simply becoming more representative of the population as a whole. I mean, look at Twitter and how it moderates its platform. It's pretty clear that right wingers who break the rules get dealt with much more harshly than those from the other side, and things like the Trust and Safety Council include very few people from pro free speech organisations or non left wing organisations in general.
And when people think they're being censored/ignored by such platforms, well of course they'll start their own/check out ones more sympathetic to their views.
It's not really winning grassroots support. It's winning over the people who were already conservative and felt major social networks were being unfair to them.

Let's see how fast this gets ghosted..
I also feel Gab does posts a lot better than Twitter does, since the post lengths are actually somewhat usable. 300 characters is much more practical than 140, and I rarely feel like I run out of space as a result.
So yeah, good on them.
