I know nothing more about this than what’s at the link:

The domain Gab.com has landed at Epik.

Epik is a domain registrar. I’m seeing a number of commenters here and there suggesting that people bail from GoDaddy (Gab’s prior registrar) and sign up instead with Epik. In principal I agree: but I also suspect that Epik will now become Enemy Number One and will come under fire from every direction. On the one hand it would be great if companies that buck the trend of digital censorship end up raking in additional business (and those who bend the knee to todays cultural thugs suffer for it). On the other hand it would suck if that company scoops up a whole lot of people and websites… and then gets taken down by the mob.

 

FYI: I fookin’ hate social media, never had a Twitter account or Gab or Instagram. I have a Facebook account because numerous people told me it was a good business decision (several experiments over the years have shown it to be utterly useless, though it might come in handy as a backup communication system if the blog crashes again as it did a few years ago) and a similarly fallow Deviant Art account. So I have no direct stake in the fate of Gab. But I *do* despise the current fad of fascistic authoritarianism among the censorial malefactors of the far left.
