I shouldn't say this, but Gab feels a bit like a holding pen for the angry and outcast so that they don't lower the vibe elsewhere. It's a worthy service with much good content and erudite people, but the spirit is off. I am learning a lot of new things about tech by using a spiritual lens that I didn't have before.
The introduction of ads on Truth Social is also "not quite right" to me. There ought to be a way to get the community to work together to create a business model that doesn't have skin tag removal and viagra for old men interrupting your feed. Surely we can do better than this as a society?
I think what distinguishes AU is how little external content is shared here (MSM or alt media articles), and how much original and deeply reflective content is generated. If money was the limiting factor to running the service we'd find a way together to locate it. Free exchange of ideas is a fundamental objective.
I haven’t been on Gab in a long while. Too much drama on TS. I do have a few people I like to convo eith there. But it seems everyone is name calling and attacking. Even the big accounts I liked on Twit. I found myself getting into that with someone that started it the other night. Its a phenomenon to me the vibes from the different platforms. It’s really made me appreciate the vibe here even more. Feels like there’s a specific spiritual vibe on all and given me a better understanding of how we vibe together. I used to just scroll to see what’s up and I recognized the vibes but didn’t fully appreciate. znow I do. My engagement is less than I would like because the functionality is so tedious for me. And Telegram, I don’t even try, it’s too clunky.
