Gab has a rating of 2.4 stars from 68 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about Gab most frequently mention free speech problems. Gab ranks 370th among Social Network sites.
I can honestly say that no social media platform comes even close to GAB.com, a place where absolute free speech is practiced not just in theory. Not only that, most people there love God. There are almost no ungodly people there and many of them know about the real problem in this world, if you know what I mean.
Useless as a screen door on a submarine! Overwhelming email spam and when you blacklist them they find a way to even bypass my banning their IP address that these idiots use. I have reported them and I am going all out to stop them and their harassing me! I have sent emails and also a letter requesting that they cease and completely send to me as I have clicked numerous time to "UNSUBSCRIBE" If I would have known that this harassing me from gab.com, I would never have even been a part of their mess.

Last night I made a page for my Cannabis company here in Canada. We are a legit business and do everything by the book. I posted twice, just explaining what our shop is and has for products, and they blocked me...
Now, I would think this was fine BUT, I have a Twitter, Facebook & Instagram for my business and I have never been blocked (almost like they realize it's legal) anyway, GAB advertises is self as free speech, and allows people to post what they want. I beg to differ. You guys suck! I'll never be back, and I hope you go under. Pathetic.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use it, it's worse then Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, and all they want is your money. There market place is full of there own products, and everywhere they are looking for donations

None because they suck.
Gab is F#ckin garbage. I signed up for pro account and attempted to start a business (selling war trophies) on their failed marketplace. Do not sign up for gab its turned into a garbage pile. I couldn't even delete my account I had to email customer support. Terrible. Andrews platform has fallen by the wayside. He has created another hater of his platform. I am now a canvassing advocate against GAB. Great work Andrew Torba.
Claims they are about free speech but will block you when they disagree with what you say. This site is full of people who just spew hate and horible ideals
Gab is worse than twitter when it comes to getting around on the app. Can't post anything because no keyboard. Just sick of apps that don't work.
If you want a healthy dose of death threats towards anyone with a differing viewpoint and antisemitism behind political candidates pages, gab is the place to go. I left a few nice comments for a candidate running for mayor in my state and guarantee i'll probably be kicked off despite the "freedom of speech" they mention. It's a pathetic website and is really an eye opener towards the real extremist, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, bible bumping morons who somehow think their hateful views will land them in heaven. Again, if you want to see the dark side of the American conservatives, the true thoughts in their heads, log into gab and go to any republicans page. Apparently they want the antisemitists as their support base.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t use it unless you’re also a hateful moron.

the website
First of all I am a trump supporter
And an atheist
So went on gab
Opening an account was easy
However
I found the site is unusable
The only person posting is the ceo
Spouting religious crap all day and
talking about himself
No way to see what other users are saying
Only a few people show up in trending
(the same ones everyday)
Dissenter feed is trash
I closed my account because
Gab has NOTHING to offer
A complete waste of time
Also the claim of no nsfw content is a blatent lie
Tip for consumers:
don't waste your time

From a speed standpoint it is getting better but still has a long ways to go to get rid of both in house and outside hackers. It is the closest to free speech on the net that I have found and I have looked intensively. So that is a big plus. Unfortunately it comes at a big price by allowing nutcase nazis, bigots, just plain crazies to post whatever the hell they want to. They are not very open about their goals and plans to resist Gov. Takeover or deplatformng. They want investors but don't answer questions about what their future strategies are to avoid Gov. Control and the NWO. The guy running it seems like a reasonable Christian but sympathizes with jew haters at his own peril. They need better software, better tamper proof backbone to the internet, faster servers, but they insist on just doing stuff they think will generate more money (understandable). It's a good site if you can get past all the nazis, bigots and other wackos. They won't delete you account in my experience but they will allow shadowbanning it seems.

As "ThatOldLibOnGab" I was a Gab member from just after the November 2020 election until January 6,2021. I made numerous quality posts during that time and many times even received "likes" from conservatives. On my last day I was very critical of the Capital attack in D. C. and suddenly without notice or explanation my account was deactivated ("You don't have permission to view this page" everywhere) and all my Gabs were deleted. The owners of Gab have the right to implement any moderation policy they choose but their claims of "freedom of speech" are blatantly false.
Minority religious nuts trying to fundamentally change America by merging church and state. Boosted by Russian trolls. Regularly suggests violence is necessary to carry out "God's plan".
Tip for consumers:
run. run as fast as you can. America was founded off religious persecution and now the Right want to impose their religion on America.

OK, we'll start with the good. Pretty good about free speech. Me and my group of close pals can be pretty rough and none of us has ever been reprimanded. In my wider circle some have be banned, but again what we say on a daily basis would never fly on Facebook or Twitter.
If you're touchy about certain subjects or do not like your beliefs questioned, or love being in the echo chamber, you have the option to mute or block people, so they can never comment on your stuff and you will never see anything they write (a feature I think they put in to attract Alex Jones and ppl like that to the platform, since they do not like to be challenged.
Unfortunately, the platform itself has lots of trouble. Most days it takes several tries to connect, sometimes losing connection several times a day. Sometimes it'll be offline for whole days.
The way the conversations unfold are very confusing. Twitter is far superior on that score.
Also, in terms of the privacy issue: There was a shooting that involved a guy who was a Gab user (who also used Twitter and others), and Gab was happy to hand over everything to investigators without warrants or anything, many people who were in no way involved with the crime ended up being visited by the FBI.
So user beware.
Gab has helped my young business find clients, share my personal convictions openly, and connect with like-minded business owners.
There's a lot of misleading articles online about the platform, and I found them to be inaccurate after checking things out for myself. Free speech is truly celebrated and all are welcome to participate.
I offer content writing services for small business owners, and I've formed a healthcare (my niche) related group where honest discussions around the industry are taking place.
It's easy to mute or block those who use foul or suggestive language you morally don't agree with. Without moderation by the Gab team, the community does a good enough job of rooting out bad characters.
I came in skeptical but am left with the impression this platform is here to stay. They continue to attract new users daily and their "stock" will continue to soar!
Tip for consumers:
Experiment with different types of content and join industry/hobby related groups for growing your followers.

They have improved the site, now faster and easier to login. However they still will not allow tor or proxies often. COnstantly getting that crap from cloudflaire "one more step" bs. No censorship which is very rare on the net nowadays. They still need to work on their webpage to make it easier to use without bugs.
Gab is filled with some of the most crude and primitive comments, many of which threaten death to Jews
I've been using gab for several months. At first it was slow due to the number of people who were migrating from other platforms. It is now running great as they have beefed up their infrastructure. Free speech for all. They WILL NOT block you unless you are doing something illegal or dangerous. If you don't like something someone posts then you have to block them.

I use the site on a daily basis.
You will literally get banned from this website faster than twitter. The creator cares about "freedom of speech" when it's speech he agrees with. I got deleted for having an opinion. I didn't spam, I didn't promote violence, I didn't share any inappropriate pictures. I just had an opinion that establishment conservatives don't like. So my account was deactivated.
I have been having problems connecting with gab.ai for two weeks. I can log on but not permitted to make changes to my profile. Having issues posting. Reporting the problems but receiving no response.
I have temporarily given up on gab.ai as a platform until I receive better answers. I am extremely disappointed.
I'm using Parler and it's working great, absolutely no problems.
I'm a conservative and respect Christians. However, I am not a Christian and I clearly wasn't welcome on this site. I can't believe that Gab is good for Christianity. Gab makes Christians look hateful, angry, and dangerous. I know many Christians and they are positive, moral people. I tried to unsubscribe and it is close to impossible. They want you to send a letter via snail mail as opposed to clicking on the unsubscribe like every other site. Your membership is permanent and will follow you to the grave.
My review of Gab is a huge refreshment from the stupid fact checkers on facebook and the banning on twitter that police your every move. Gab is easy to use just as easy as Fakebook and the people on there are open minded. It is not a trump haven either. Anything goes and everyone has the right to speak their opinion. I gave it 5 Stars if there were more I would rate it much Higher...
These clowns at Gab just kicked me out for promoting medicinal cannabis.
Shame on you, hypocritical scum trying to pass as a libertarian site.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid like the plague.
I've been very involved in social media of all sorts from the start, and nothing has impressed me more than what gab is building. I'm looking forward to it continuing its constant incremental growth. I deeply appreciate its stand for free speech and big tech autonomy.
Tonight, I was able to get a Gab account. I do not know why I was unable to get an account for so long; but if other people were having the same problem, all I can say is "try it now."
Is Gab social real? I have attempted for several days to sign up for several days and nothing happens.
Tip for consumers:
I have attempted to sign up for Gab social using the Brave browser, Chrome, and Edge; and when I click 'Submit' to sign up, nothing happens.

Gab owners tout how they created a "free speech" platform free from big tech, yet it's only a for-profit, paywalled, fork/clone of Mastodon for right-wingers and fascists. They are duping people for profit, just like Trump. Ask yourself, why would you pay for something when it is already free? Anyone can install Mastodon just like Gab did, with little to no programming experience. This is why they currently can't scale, yet blame it on "sophisticated attacks" from "Big Tech". Fact is, Gab has not built anything. If people want freedom, the solution is not to rely on another centralized system that is easily scraped and CAN be shutdown.
While Gab claims they are free from "Big Tech," they currently use Cloudflare, a Silicon Valley DNS proxy and DDoS mitigation service. They have banned numerous similar sites to Gab and will most likely shutdown Gab in the near future. Those sophisticated attacks? Easily blocked or rate limited. Their real issue is most likely that they have no real data center with redundant fiber drops and Tier 1 bandwidth and simply begging for Bitcoin.
Their web browser? Just another clone/fork of another project others developed, better known as Brave. They are literally just rebranding popular open source technology developed by others and grifting the unintelligent.
Tip for consumers:
Just install Mastodon yourself instead of supporting for-profit centralized services

I couldn't use any. Their infrastructure is trash because they didn't create the technology and don't know how to scale.
I joined Gab a year ago as an alternative to Facebook. I soon realised that Gab is not about free speech. It is about a certain type of right-wing, Bible belt, pro-Trumpism spech. People who dare to express an opinion outside this strict worldview are systematically bullied and insulted. Gab's CEO Andrew Torba is religious lunatic whose weekly rants would make Hitler turn in his grave. Gab is not about free speech. It is about his speech.
Gab is an ad-free social network dedicated to preserving individual liberty, the freedom of speech, and the free flow of information on the internet.
