How many people actually used it? Personally, I'm only just starting to switch to alternative platforms now that everything is going to shit, and I think this may be true for many others. It's going to suck if they manage to shut down all the new platforms before the rest of us can make a proper exodus.

This is why "alternative platforms" are stupid if regular, everyday people don't join.

Meanwhile self-segregation is letting the mainstream turn into a propaganda machine.

Yeah the self-segregation is a downside, but I think the platforms are just crystallizing that way as a result of culture. I would still be on reddit (there are more active users) if they hadn't banned half the subs I enjoyed. If our culture ever recovers to a point where we don't just permaban everyone to the left/right of us then maybe we can have those open forums back.

Alt-social network Gab booted from Google Play Store for hate speech | TechCrunch

'Apple rejected it from the App Store in June for similar reasons. '

'Gab, the conservative social network that has acted as a haven for people banned from the usual platforms, has been removed from the Google Play Store for violating the company’s hate speech policy, the company announced on Twitter. '

'After all, there’s plenty of hate speech on Twitter and YouTube , but those apps are still available despite a crackdown this week following the events in Charlottesville. '

'I’ve asked both Google and Gab for more details. '

'If that dog whistle isn’t loud enough, the investment page lists readers of Breitbart, Drudge, and Infowars as the target demographic. '

This has been an automated message.

Labeling it "Alt-social network" to demonize it and pigeon hole it as alt-right.

“We don’t allow apps that advocate against groups of people based on their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.”

They didn't advocate that, so Google is once again throwing around false accusations and lies.
