Yes it is.


But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

Fascinating.

Making the SJW crowd angry is awesome.

So this is a plug-in for use just on Gab?
Then who cares? The place will just degenerate into flame wars and, to quote Dennis Miller, it will just become a thunderdome for chickletheads.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together will leave and that will be the end.

I think this could be a huge step forward in internet free speech.

Vice News - Users of far-right social network Gab can now comment on the entire internet

https://dissenter.com/discussion/beg...twork-comments
This is fantastic news.
Now, legitimate comment sections won't be filled with retargabbers trying to voice their stupid opinions.
They will have their own place, where they can work together to comment on, and try to understand simple news stories, without bothering the rest of us.

The GAB founders are doing real good work.

No, it overlays site you are viewing. It's not on page but as close as you could get. It's actually quite a good idea. Let's say you have website page that has no option for comments, you'd be able to comment on it through this. I can tell you right now there is a bunch of other companies wishing they had thought of it.

No it's a plug in for your browser that allows you to comment on articles with other people who have the app. You open an article and instead of commenting on the website's commenting section you click on the app and comment there, where it will be visible by anyone else who has the app. If it catches on it will be a useful tool for discussing articles outside of the narrow acceptable limits of the big tech and big media sites.

Ya know what is funny?

The SJW crowd can keep their nice filtered pro left discussions going on the official site and simply NOT USE THE PLUGIN! Not using the plugin means they do not have to see the thing that makes them triggered.
