Your statement is a little disingenuous. Here's why. The vast majority of those posts were in the 2 months following Epik taking on Gab.com as a client. There is also @anonymize and @bitmitigate as handles at Gab.com. I don't manage either of those handles personally as they are managed by their respective product managers. At some point, I expect I will transition
@EPIK to a product manager for Epik, just as I am largely inactive on Facebook and Twitter these days as we have a social media manager.
The purpose of being active at Gab in November-December 2018 was to propagate a culture of responsible free speech at a time when Gab management was overwhelmed. I do believe there has been a material shift at Gab in terms of the audience.The folks that remain at Gab may not be your personal cup of tea, but the community is now largely self-policing to root out misanthropes. The unrepentant champions of indiscriminate hate have lost their platform there. I would call that progress.
As for the content of those posts, there is no duplicity. The views projected in this specific thread about "Epik and Rob Monster" are in line with how I think and what I believe. By now it should be obvious that I am a "cards on the table" guy with relatively little patience for political correctness. I do periodically post at Gab in my own persona both as an advocate for lawful free speech but also to invite folks who are practicing lawful free speech to use our tools. That invitation is non-partisan.
All that said, I won't apologize for believing that lawful free speech is a good thing. I also do believe that Facebook, Medium, and Twitter have all become highly censorious and biased. I have experienced this first-hand which is why I find very little joy in using their products. I prefer unvarnished authenticity. Although there has been some revelation of my views, it should also be obvious that Epik is a company with compelling products, capable people, clear principles, and that we welcome
all who are lawfully engaged.
