Fucking hell it just keeps getting worse. He said something about how "he wrote the code" in reference to Gab and Shing and that even in the Fedi he can and is scraping profiles. He has at least proven to be able to bypass blocking him on Gab. So it does appear as though he's not only gone completely insane, but he's always been a faggot working for the feds.

That is unless this is just a self-important LARP. Given how much he's been blowing his horn, I don't think that can be discounted.

That is unless this is just a self-important LARP. Given how much he's been blowing his horn, I don't think that can be discounted. That is an entirely fair point. And the fact that he's a mentally unstable alcoholic definitely tips toward that end. But Torba promoting him over this shit and purging all "le nahtzees" then is evidence that it's not just a schitzo LARP too. Plus, he's probably right about one thing: we have no idea what the fuck he was doing with Shing. IP harvesting and then using bots to link those IPs to accounts on Gab is not an unreasonable assumption. Turning all that over to the FBI is also not unreasonable.

At this point... it is probably best to assume that anything and everything on the internet is a honeypot of some sort.

WNs and NatSocs (usually always deep brown) built Gab and also made it unpalatable to advertisers. And Colbert is having a BPD break at them after boosting and agreeing with their content for years.
The only valid use of the Internet is anime shitposting anyway.

The only valid use of the Internet is anime shitposting anyway. Gab could have done better IMO had they focused on social, which did very well for an alt tech social media, and not a bunch of other failed projects, Gab Pay IIRC went no where, Gab Market was a fucking stupid idea (seriously, why would you put a craigslist/FB Market on your dissident site), Desenter died, Gab Video Died too. Other then Social none of these projects except MAYBE AI did well at all (and even there, Durbo the retard removed image posting from his site which is the main way it was promoted).

Operating under the idea that Gab is a honeypot/narrative driver...
I wonder if all of these side products weren't actually meant to succeed, but just exist as a visible assurance that there was some sort of parallel society being built. Everything was just something else being modded. Think of it as an old house facade. It looks great on the outside, but betrays what it really is.

Everything was just something else being modded. Think of it as an old house facade. It looks great on the outside, but betrays what it really is. I don't think it's mutually exclusive for gab to have been genuine, a honeypot, and a grift all at the same time. All it needed was competing influence from a variety of sources who had the ability to call the shots - or even simply expectations unmet. For example with shing (which is smaller, less complex, and so more easily dissected) it probably did start out as a genuine dissenting streaming service. But then it wasn't making much money so it became a grift. When that failed to pan out and some troons kept swatting them, rob morphed it into a honeypot and just sold everyone under the bus. I can see the same thing happening with Gab. Torba had genuine dissension/parallel economy goals to begin with, but is a shit business man and has no programming skills. So he got taken for a ride by a bunch of people who he hired because they saw it as a giant grift. And then, being disappointed with the failure and constant criticism he turned it into a honeypot and sold people out to the feds. That progression seems far more likely that a conspiracy in which it was all planned out to fail from the very beginning.

Even the simping cheerleader got more interaction than rob. Imagine the seethe. Actually don't. No one should waste a moment imagining anything about that moron.

View AttachmentWhy does this guy have such delusions of grandeur? Substance abuse, probably. Also an influx of FBI money would be my guess. He was talking about having the FBI sitting in his kitchen poring over shing data. I can only assume that they put the idea in his head that the "ebil nahtzees" were behind the troon squad swatting him. I have no doubt that in a couple of months we'll hear about Rob shooting up a Christian school.

I assume anyone who says they have the FBI in their kitchen has never had them there- that, or he called them and they came to tell him to lay off. It makes me think of the 2016-2018 slew of people who claimed to have all of this top secret data. The would bolster and then act like they never said anything.

I hadn't checked back in on Gab in ages. Decided to have a little look today and lol - more user money stolen. I wonder when a law suit is coming his way? Collecting subscriptions, changing ToS without consultation, and then closing the site to make off with what little cash was paid. Absolute grift.
