@Dan_Hulson Serious answer: On Gab, the replies are difficult to navigate and kind of buggy, so everyone quotes. It also gives more visibility there, but here it doesn't because you see replies on the TL too.
They'll probably break the habit once they've been here for a while.
@McMongoose@Asburtame@Dan_Hulson@zemichi isn't gab just a fork of mastodon? :torbo: really did take :mastodon: and make it worse. Kind of impressive when you consider he got people to pay for it.
@sjw@RedTechEngineer@Asburtame@Dan_Hulson@zemichi cc @Terry posted a really cool article about torba, he has scammed people for millions of dollars, apparently he even sold shares of gab but stopped once the SEC discovered he had at most 19k people on gab ...
Funny story about this screenshot in the article. I'll mention it because it is church Sunday.
Isaiah 8
"18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."
God strictly forbids "Necromancy", that is communication with the dead over matters of the future. Necromancy bites people in the butt when they do it.
Gab's own AI service actually has bots of dead people. Part of the reason why you don't do necromancy is that it is assumed that demonic influence settles into what is supposed to be the "dead spirit" in question and it leads people down the wrong path.
Guess what happened after gab AI? Mass exodus from the service. Curious! :back_from_gab: christian gab.png
