Matt ParrottIn addition to having a unified microblogging, chat, forum, and groupware experience for your political activism, we will be rolling out crowdfunding and the ability to create a paywall with recurring payments for your original content or membership organization.
We're currently in the first stage of deployment, where we're testing and confirming the performance, stability, and security of the platform itself, which is unique in its being designed from scratch to rely on absolutely no third party platforming or services.
Pertaining to the platform, it's distinct from gab in that users who are banned will have a standard appeals process, unlike with Gab.
Torba blocked me on Twitter for asking why Gab has no proper process for that.
It's great that you can say the n word, but I believe that a business model which profits off user content owes its users a simple "why."
elmeiser@parrott I also feel like this would have longer overall staying power than gab.
@elmeiser Gab is just another fediverse node with a clever fundraising strategy. Given Torba's actions and behavior, he's made it clear that it's an evangelical MAGA node that we're unwelcome guests on.
@elmeiser "Free Speech" is an untenable answer to the community question, one which even Torba has retreated from.
The federated approach mirrors the nationalist approach to people having wildly different ideas about what's appropriate or taboo.
❄️Derrick❄️@parrott how about a "why nigger?"
