And finally, he discussed an integration of those conversions onto the Gab website itself.

“All three of these will sync and be one unified comment section,” Torba explains. “So if I comment from Gab on the url, people using the extension and the web app will see it, and vice versa.”
The only portion of his plan with a working example is the browser extension, which Torba says is still in its “super early” stages, and hasn’t had a chance for developers to “make it pretty yet.”

This plugin has the capability to change the Internet entirely if largely adopted.

I wonder if sites can detect the plugin - if so I could see them giving you a blank screen going to their pages.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76580175


no. of course if they do not let the plugin to be transparent to the websites.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76565424


yea i cant see how website would be able to do that.

i mean we can post about other websites and their articles on here too and they cant stop us from doing so. and with gab its kinda the same thing. but as a plugin rather than a website.

Gab.com, known as the free speech alternative to Twitter, is creating a browser plugin to add a comment section to every website on the Internet.

Andrew Torba, who founded and runs Gab has shared a number of screenshots showing the plugin in action, commenting on websites with unavailable comment sections, and on websites with harsh moderating standards.

All comments are run through Gab, which uses the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as their standard of moderation, meaning that the comments will only be removed if they violate the law, or violate a slim category of offences, such as doxxing, which Gab disallows.
 Quoting: Evangelina


where in the constitution does it say comment sections offered by private businesses are a right owed to a customer?

if a private business does not want a comment section, they have every right to not offer one…. that is not censorship… that is the right a private business has whether or not they choose to offer the option of a comment section

not having comment sections is not censorship… people are still free to say whatever they want, just not on the site of a private business that does not want a comment section

you are still free to say anything just not on their property

Only problem is that normies won't see the comments. Only people that take the time to register with GAB. Which means it will probably be an echo chamber.

Maybe this feature will be popular enough to compel most people to sign up.

No, it is only an extension that talks to the GAB server to append comments on your local browser.

It won't affect the original website in any way, and non-gab users won't see anything, nor will the website owner.

Hopefully someone will stop in and put this in layman's terms 1rof1
 Quoting: Evangelina


You go to Slate.com . You want to comment but they no longer have comment sections there. But the plugin allows you to add a comment. It's added to comments by all the other people commenting on that article, and so I guess it looks like a comment section, for the Slate article, but on the Gab site rather than Slate.

Maybe also, if it is washingtonpost.com, and they do have a comment section but it's full of garbage and your decent comment might get edited, it will enable you to post your comment there and also the Gab comment section, and if washingtonpost.com deletes your comment, it's still there on Gab.

That isn't entirely logical. Freedom of speech doesn't mean only that you can speak from your own property. Another person can prevent you from speaking from their property.

So the question is, is a twitter thread Twitter's property, or is it a public commons? I think it's more like a public commons, given how big Twitter is.

(1) yes I think so
(2) not unless those other sites have agreements with Gab that they probably won't make, since Gab isn't "part of the club". Those post-thrus require authentication, which Facebook performed.
