I joined Gab, as many of you already know, when Parler was terminated by the failure of its owners to anticipate being terminated by the Left, which controlled its servers/hosting (or whatever the computer-speak is).
But Gab has more bugs than a Florida porch without a screen. It’s more like grinding than Gabbing – as it wears one out trying to log in when it won’t let you; then having to log out and log in again (if it lets you) in order to see new notifications.
See the image accompanying this rant? It is a screenshot of what happens after I enter my email and password. I “need to sign in or sign up before continuing.” Except I am already signed up and trying to sign in, you dim sons of bitches!
I tire of it and consider saying Sayonara to all of it.
I have been posting on these social media entities not to be social – an odd concept given the poster is not in society but rather sitting alone someplace, pecking at a keyboard – but solely to let people who might be interested know I’ve posted a new article, with the link to it.
But it’s becoming work – because of the Woke.
All the work I did on Parler – flushed down the toilet because Parler wasn’t smart enough to understand what the Left would do when Parler became annoying to the Left. Now this Gab business. Which works like a Third World DMV business.
It makes it hard to want to bother, especially because the alternatives to the Left just can’t seem to get their shit together. Twitter and FB always work – which I grant is likely a function of their inexhaustible resources.
But just once, it’d be nice if a not-Left entity actually worked as opposed to making more work for us.
Eric,
I know its tough, but this is what happens when you are building competition to the tech oligarchs. They put up every barrier possible. Gab is doing this with 6 programers and no access to traditional capital, plus they have had to deal with a sharp.increase in accounts and traffic as people turn off the lefitist social media sites. My advice is to remain patient. It has and will continue to get better.
Hi Antilles,
I get that; I hope they fix it soon. I’ve been unable to get on the site or post for almost two days now.
On the subject, sometimes I have to retry my comments on here a couple times in my crappy smartphone browser, dunno if it’s flagging them or just failing to go through :/
Hi Moose,
I saw that – several of your posts went into Moderation – I have no idea why. But I check regularly and always approve yours!
Yeah maybe it thought I was spamming, was just trying to make a funny 🙂
No worries,Moose!
PS: I have been unable to log in to Gab since Monday. Is anyone else having this issue?
You might consider talking up your site’s RSS feed:
https://www.ericpetersautos.com/feed
RSS is how I keep up with what’s new on websites I follow. It’s a direct connection from your website to my feed reader; the only way it quits working is if your website is shut down. That’s about as close to cancel-proof as we’re likely to get. Every time a new article is posted, it shows up in the feed.
Eric,
Though Gab still has glitches, it’s gotten better as of late. They ARE working on it!
Hi Mark,
Yeah; I know… trying to be patient…! The site now appears to be down;I get an error message just trying to load it.How about on your end?
PS: Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsdalaJwZSY&ab_channel=MichaelBradley
I get error messages now and then, but not that one. The one I most often get is a login error.
Thanks, Mark – I have been unable to log in for two days now. The site loads but when I enter my log in and password, the log in screen just keeps reloading… so I can’t post anything; just read what others post. I may have been banned for not fellating the Orange Man…
