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.

I didn't say Gabber is an appealing name for promoting free speech activism, because it implies idle or trivial talk, therefore the low IQ of users. I only said that at least is more cool and creative that just gab. Gabber is a fit name for sheeple user base like Facebook.
Twitter is a clever name, because it implies the freedom of speech symbolized by a tweeting bird. Freedome is paronomasia made by freedom and dome. In the middle of censorship info war, users freedom is protected by dome, freedom + dome = Freedome. It's not hard to get.

You said, "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to name it at least correctly "Gabber", or something even more appealing." So, I was correct to infer you meant Gabber is more correct.
Twitter was chosen because it's insinuates a hot topic; it's "atwitter." The bird icon and "tweeting" complimented the term.
Ending anything with an insult does nothing but make the author feel better about himself and always backfires, especially when the author is attempting intellectual superiority with a pedantic cliche.

Twitter means simply twitter. You are overemotional and making stuff up. Have you ever been diagnosed with psychological disbalance, like psychosis by any chance?
