So here it is, from RawStory [rawstory.com], which, regardless of what you may think of them, have never encouraged psychos to commit terrorism.

he social media site Gab, a Twitter-like platform popular with the radical rightwing because of its objection to any form of censorship, is in a full meltdown under criticism for its ties to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter.

Gab has lost its hosting service and funding avenues, and is calling on President Donald Trump to help.

In a lengthy post on Medium, Gab says it did everything it could after the shooting and defended its commitment to free speech.

“We have nothing but love for all people and freedom,” the post read. “We have consistently disavowed all violence. Free speech is crucial for the prevention of violence. If people can not express themselves through words, they will do so through violence. No one wants that. No one.”

Gab is not a well-known sit, but it’s full-throated support of free speech has made it home to a number of extremists kicked off other platforms.

Or even people not kicked off other "sits", like our own dear demented jmorris. And the Peak Crazy RunawayFoxNews2008. So, take away?

Gab’s homepage has been down and giving an error messGE because its hosting provider banned it. Funding services like PayPal and Stripe have cute ties, severing the fledgling company’s ability to raise capital.

Gab’s management has taken to using rival Twitter to allege “direct collusion between big tech giants” and to ask President Donald Trump to intervene.

May Gab! Eben sits trying to just five the Error massage have experienced mass typological misogynies, only The Donald can fics thise!

Gab is currently retweeting mostly conservative writers who say the site’s de-platforming is totalitarianism and recalls George Orwell’s 1984.

There are a bunch of tweets in the Fine Article, so I recommend that all Soylentils stay away. But on the other hand, if you can induce that so many disgraphia and necrophilia into a sit like Gab, there may be no limit at all to your powers. Sending white power in an envelope! What Maroons!
