Gab is positioning itself as a free speech alternative to the Jew owned social network censorship. It looks a genuinely good idea, but what makes me suspicious is the complete lack of professionalism of Gab owners.
First, Gab's design is clearly below average, like it was designed by an amateur kid.
Second, the brand itself is obviously demented. First of all, why "Gab"? You don't have to be a rocket scientist to name it at least correctly "Gabber", or something even more appealing, like "Freedome", because they say to be fighting for freedom, therefore the selfexplantory name "Freedome" is the first that comes to mind.
The Gab owners are claiming to be willing creating a valuable competitor, but it is obvious that they don't give a fuck. I just can't believe they can be so stupid to create something that goes against basic requirements to be competitive by missing such basics as appealing brand and well thought design.
I don't know about you, but when a site is half assed and obviously demented, it must be a honeypot.

to be fair, the owner is an amateur. right now the site looks like crap because it is crap. the guy is even still getting bullied by google so he can't even maintain full free speech yet. I say give it time.

OK. But what about the brand name? Why it sucks so much like it was made deliberately?

By saying Gabber is a correct name, does that mean it should sound more similar to Twitter? Freedome implies a lid, which sounds like the opposite of being free. Help me to follow your sense of marketing.
