Gab

Pros: Nothing. They talk a free speech practice, but in fact it's highly censored for "acceptable" political content.

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.

Overall: Negative. 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.

Pros: Easy to use, no censorship, parallel economy with great small businesses, GabTV is great. Not beholden to big tech in any way.

Cons: Not really any cons to speak of. It has a great user base already but I hope it continues to grow.

Overall: Love it, been on it a year and have quit all other social media platforms Gab is all you need, everything else is woke trash.

Pros: I'm a conservative and respect Christians. However, I am not a Christian and I clearly wasn't welcome on this site.

Cons: 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.

Overall: I tried to unsubscribe and it is close to impossible. They want you to send a letter via snail mail as opposed to clicking on the unsubscribe like every other site. Your membership is permanent and will follow you to the grave.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Overall: Besides LinkedIn, it's my only other social media marketing channel. It allowed my small business to find early success and I enjoy logging in each time. I recommend you check it out for yourself and see if all the online "hit pieces" are accurate. If I had more stars I'd give them 6!

Pros: Friendly to family and American values unlike FB, Google, et al.

Cons: Needs a bit more maturity as a product.

Overall: Much needed alternative to the leftist controlled social media outlets.

Pros: I liked that this platform was a fighter and that the CEO was/is a devout Christian. With that I inferred the man had some backbone. The platform had a lot of features, most importantly a means by which you could focus your message to a specific audience. And I had heard so much about GAB being beholden to the concept of Free Speech.

Cons: The platform from the beginning seemed to be belaboured with users. It was slow, often times it would simply stall. And whilst my followers grew in number, this never changed and it appeared as though it was getting worse. I sent several messages to their IT Help department and received no response whatsoever. Then without warning, I was unable to post, the system citing an error....please try again. Again no response to inquiries.

Overall: Technically, this site is lacking in sophistication, even though it seems feature rich, it is incapable of a consistent user experience. When my posts became focused on issues that even MSM won't tackle, I was blocked and got only silence. When I deleted my content and my account, I was met with a popup bidding me farewell....something to the effect, "TAKE THAT HACKER"!

Despite all the hype and claims to the contrary, this platform is not FREE SPEECH and it does not come with my recommendation.

Pros: No censorship, no targeting or tracking. Gab is an open platform based on open source software, simply aimed at providing a free speech environment. You choose who you want to follow, and you can form and moderate your own interest groups. Despite what is said by those who try to smear gab, it is an open and diverse platform where all are welcome, and not limited to politics. You can unlock additional features by supporting the service with monetary contributions.

Cons: I don't like the fact that media and other platforms try to slander this platform and its operators.

Overall: Gab is striving to provide the best social media experience. Open discussion is encouraged regardless of your viewpoint. Don't expect to be protected from opinions you don't agree with, but you can always unfollow or ban things on your own account.

Pros: Unlike Fantasybook they don't censor Americans. Unlike Twitter : ) they don't limit what you can type. I am a Writer. I can type 90 WPM, maybe more, so I like not being limited like everyone else! It is a website for Christians, Patriots and Everyone.

Cons: There is some people who I have to argue with once in a while, and say WE are here to be lights in the darkness as Bob Marley said. And as Jesus said: make disciples of all nations, cast out demons and Love they neighbor and pray for thine enemy. Or even like Gandhi said: be the change you want to see.

Overall: I Love it. They don't censor free speech, they don't try to dumb people down. WE are in America, WE speak English, the most advanced language on the planet. 171,000+ words! When you limit words, you limit thought.
