About

At Gab, we believe that the future of online publishing is decentralized and open. We believe that users of social networks should be able to control their social media experience on their own terms, rather than the terms set down by Big Tech. Gab Social is a fresh take on one of the Internet's most popular applications: social networking. Originally forked from the Mastodon project, Gab's codebase is free and open-source, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (AGPL3). As a result, you, the user, have a choice when using Gab Social: you can either have an account on Gab.com, or, if you don't like what we're doing on Gab.com or simply want to manage your own experience, you can spin up your own Gab Social server that you control, that allows you to communicate with millions of users on their own federated servers from around the world, including users on Gab. Gab.com strives to be the home of free speech online.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. They talk a free speech practice, but in fact it's highly censored for "acceptable" political content.
  • Easy to use, no censorship, parallel economy with great small businesses, GabTV is great. Not beholden to big tech in any way.
  • I'm a conservative and respect Christians. However, I am not a Christian and I clearly wasn't welcome on this site.
  • Friendly community that favors small businesses. You can speak openly about your faith should you choose to. They listen to users feedback and are always looking to improve the platform. No company controlled moderation, leaves it in the hands of users who manage its groups. Support free speech and back it up by allowing all forms of discussion.
  • Friendly to family and American values unlike FB, Google, et al.

Cons

  • Claims to be "free speech" site, but if you post political views that aren't consistent with theirs, your account will disabled as "spam" or it will be hidden so that only you can see your posts.
  • Not really any cons to speak of. It has a great user base already but I hope it continues to grow.
  • I can't believe that Gab is good for Christianity. Gab makes Christians look hateful, angry, and dangerous. I know many Christians and they are positive, moral people.
  • It'd be extremely valuable for them to hire a dedicated IT team that focuses exclusively on user issues. Presently the community supports new user questions, but getting quick answers on technical issues isn't always possible.
  • Needs a bit more maturity as a product.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. You can only contact them by email; there is no phone number. They say they'll refund you and then make an excuse why they "can't."
  • It is a nice convent platform for podcast. I have enjoyed using it for almost 2+ years to listen daily to the Gerry Callahan show.
  • The user interface is fantastic. It has the feel of a slim Facebook without the ads, the manipulation by algorithm, etc. It's a great way to support the creators you love.

Cons

  • No phone number. "Support" is a joke. They lie about refunding you.
  • When the podcast I listened to every day stoped presenting because of the host's illness I could not get my money back.
  • Honestly: nothing. Of course more features would be welcome. But it’s a startup and they are moving fast.
