But the question is these fuckweeds thrive on trolling people, who are they going to troll each other?

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Is such a thing even possible? Besides Child Porn?

Gamergate discussion was banned on 4chan because it broke the Mo Raiding rule.

 

[JordanN]

Exactly, this is a good development. Same as 4chan.

It's a place where people can spew whatever they want, and the only way you'll hear it is if you want to hear it. Self-segregation.

They use these sites to form their cliques to then go spread their ideology all over the internet.

How else do conspiracy theories or hateful terminologies begin to appear? They talk amongst themselves with it, till it feels normal to repeat it everywhere.

 

[freeofgreed]

Good keep them isolated to wallow in their own filth. Hopefully this reduces their fallout on mainstream sites, but i doubt it. It'll probably be as relevent as Voat is (as in not at all).

 

[Skittles]

more cloyd rivers? oh boy, now i can weed out my friends list even faster

 

[sphagnum]

Is such a thing even possible? Besides Child Porn?

Moot made it bannable to talk about GamerGate, which caused 8chan to be formed from an exodus of users.

 

[Ferrio]

Not sure that really works gamefaqs is hella old, older than Gaf

GAF isn't that much younger. Not sure when it was originally established, but it goes back to atleast '99.

Like other forums, they'll use the place to congregate and plan while doing the deed elsewhere.

That's the problem, if this is anything like 8ch, they'll likely use the place to plan harassment campaigns on others.

 

[Nowise10]

You can't outlaw posting dumb shit on the Internet.

Which is why their should be a way?

 

[Gattsu25]

No, even including child porn/exploitation until they got caught, then the child porn was removed.

That is true, hopefully it will be like other places and just have people complaining about the cucks and racebaiters and die down to about a handful of people that post once a week or so.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Seems that way:

Here’s the short version: Pepe is a cartoon frog who began his internet life as an innocent meme enjoyed by teenagers and pop stars alike.

Shit


All this stealth-linking on GAF to hillaryclinton.com, we can't afford to climb any higher on her referral charts, lol!

 

[Meowster]

They ruined Pepe!

8chan existed before Gamergate, it was just popularized by GG.

 

[sphagnum]

They troll people offsite then take screenshots or link to it and have a circle jerk back in their safe space.

A number of alt right forums (most notably The New Effort and MyPostingCareer) started off like this, as colonies of people banned from SomethingAwful.

 

[VanquishUK]

Pure cringe.

 

[MUnited83]

8chan is for the things that get banned off 4chan.
Gab is for the things that get banned off Twitter.
Voat if for the things that get banned off Reddit.

I love that on every single on of those were they were banned is where people can already be very extremist without issues to begin with.

I think people really should think hard on their life when their shit is so fucked up that even fucking 4chan of all places bans you.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

nothing will get you laid like #hitlerpickuplines

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Disgusting. I made the mistake of reading the comments on that article.....

 

[LiquidSword]

So this is like Twitter's Voat? Lol

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Considering the fact that the biggest achievement of these dipshits is instigating massive harassment campaigns on other social networks, I'm OK with this.

 

[MrBadger]

It'd be nice if they all fucked off there, but as the whole Reddit->Voat thing showed us, they get bored when there's nobody around to listen to their bullshit

 

[Griss]

Well guess what - you can't prevent them doing this. They have the right to share their ideas. Do you want them doing it within earshot or somewhere else? It's that simple for me.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

So...it's a safe space

life imitates art

 

[Platy]

All in an easy server for FBI to get all the info they need to put everyone on jail

 

[soco]

i thought this existed already as 4chan and yik yak

If it's anything like 8ch, the servers will be housed in a country that doesn't have an easy relationship with western governments.

While it does, this is a more direct Twitter like implementation of that.

 

[Media]

I'm assuming it's not, but Is "GAB" supposed to have anything to do with GAF?

I remember Milo apparently mentioned Gaf a few times during the gamergate stuff and there was a Reddit dedicated to bitter people who had been banned from here.

No. Gab means talk. Not everything is Gaf related

On topic, I'm usually against self segregation, but in this case, go for it.

 

[AstroNut325]

Is it me or is that logo the "feels bad" meme frog thingy?

Looks more reddit/yik yak then Twitter, tbh.

The good news is that because of the voting, we can super easily automate the downvotes.

 

[dark-knight]

Am I the only one who thought of ZTD upon reading that name?

 

[Acorn]

It's Nigel Farage who is also pepe.

 

[Messofanego]

But the question is these fuckweeds thrive on trolling people, who are they going to troll each other?

They'll plan out brigading and other raid campaigns from there.

 

[wenis]

when it gets hacked and real names are tied to use names. that'll be a news story.

 

[JordanN]

Well guess what - you can't prevent them doing this. They have the right to share their ideas. Do you want them doing it within earshot or somewhere else? It's that simple for me.

The problem is what their ideas are to begin with. When their existence is based around frowned upon if not, hateful material, it becomes a problem.

 

[tearsintherain]

Does it use hashtags like #Harambe or is that something twitter copyrighted?

I don't really see why anyone cares; google, twitter and facebook have basically zero competition in the Western market place and thats really not a good thing.

China has its own internet systems which duplicate all that functionality (and much more) in a single app.

[Easy_D]

Lol. So it's a safe space for bigots?

 

[Principate]

Bigots love safe spaces, they'r some of the most sensitive people you'll find around

 

[Enzom21]

But the question is these fuckweeds thrive on trolling people, who are they going to troll each other?

I would imagine it will be like the losers who complain about GAF on voat.

 

[QuickSilverD]

Does Twitter itself even make money?

 

[Dai101]

But the question is these fuckweeds thrive on trolling people, who are they going to troll each other?

They are going to troll who is the most off-white of them all.

[The Technomancer]

no threats of violence... and no doxing

So...its a platform that most of their base can't use for their favorite hobbies?

 

[nicanica]

You know what's real crazy? This thing probably lists "Gabs" in chronological order and doesn't have "Sponsored" gabs

 

[Geg]

Why did they have to bring frogs into this frogs did nothing wrong

 

[Acorn]

Why did they have to bring frogs into this frogs did nothing wrong

A frog gave me a wart once. Fuck frogs.

Or is that toads?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I...dunno how I feel about this.

On one hand, it's nice to keep this sort of speech and mentality away from tarnishing other platforms. But on the other, I'm not so sure it's good to sequester this sort of mentality, all in one, self-reaffirming, collective pool. The same sort of thing happened on Tumblr to an extent with the whole outrage-culture just feeding itself there.
