this gab thing reminds me of what people had suggested we do to generate more income -- one of the suggestions was to limit uploads to people who are donors/patrons. i pushed back on the idea because it's jewish behavior to retroactively change or limit the functionality of a website to drum up income. if we ever were in that position i would just limit filesizes for the short term to curb the issue.
this is surely a death knell for gab and i will be very surprised if its not an exit scam
