Shared this post on Gab.ai with these exact words:

If anyone here looked at #Steem from the links I provided and got a wee bit overwhelmed, I want to call attention to thecryptofiend : he's a one-man director of Help Resources:

followed by a link to this page. I meant every word of it.

Even if I called you a wunderkind at HR :D

      It's pretty damn good, in my humble opinion. I fit right in.

      The bulk of the people there are alt-right, alt-lite, or some other kind of right - but that's because Twitter's been kicking them off, shadowbanning them, handing them the brunt of the double standard, etc. The founder has said repeatedly that it's open to everyone. But given the above, righties are the bulk of the clientele right now.

      It's possible that there could be an "entryist" wave of folks like you and me (my other side) to set up & populate a Cryptocurrency Corner in Gab, but anyone who tries will have to get along with or tolerate righties.

      Since I'm a self-identified righty, I've had zero problems fitting in.

      One reason to join - to sign up for the waiting list here - https://gab.ai - is just to look over the interface; in my opinion, it's a dream - lots better than Twitter's. This last point is something that @dantheman , @ned or another core-level techie should consider.

      Thanks I will take a look when I have time - I don't mind who the current users are as it is early days.

      I don't consider myself a "rightie" lol but I think a lot of people think I am - I think if you believe in small government and libertarian ideas you automatically get labelled that way. I will take a look when I have a moment (right now I have so many things I am trying to juggle simultaneously).

      Might also be an idea to see what other people are doing and the ideas they are coming up with - useful research.

      I find I use Twitter less and less interesting nowadays. OK have added myself to the list:

      Done! You're #1319983 in the waiting list.
