GAB is Creating A Comment Section on Every Website That Could Change the Internet FOREVER | |
Lance Roseman From BC User ID: 30616576 Canada 02/15/2019 06:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And finally, he discussed an integration of those conversions onto the Gab website itself. Quoting: Evangelina “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. hmmm this GAB you speak of... The free speech version of twatter....gab.com If you are not busy weaving your own magick, you are trapped in anothers spell. “It’s time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.” – Marcus Aurelius |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76580175 no. of course if they do not let the plugin to be transparent to the websites. 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. |

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. |

oniongrass User ID: 77265497 United States 02/15/2019 07:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. .

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. .
