Gab is a libertarian social media platform, they recently federated to mastodon.

There's a few main stream media articles about how gab is bad, so when they moved to mastodon everyone started freaking thinking it was some kind of "nazi" site, which its not.

Many mastodon admins are banning their users from seeing, reading or following anyone in gab - even banning users for asking about it.

Almost everyone who demands gab be blocked has spent no time on it, and never really looked into what its about, but instead just believe what a few articles say about it. There's even some examples of mastodon users advocating people are killed for being apart of gab.

The hysteria is so bad that now people are banning entire servers not based on anything other than which software theyre running. So if you're running a fork of Gab they just ban you even though you didnt do anything wrong.

The mass instance blocking is causing all kinds of problems, pissing users off and its basically a big shit show.
