doubt it after GSG throttled her page and removed the ability to leave comments

now you can only give money and not say a damn thing, which removes people's power to boast and commentate, if i was her, i'd pull the money before those (((Christians))) take the shekels to themselves

Yeah, but people have figured out what I mentioned right after they started removing comments. They’re using the names to signal now.

I'll play devils advocate for a second

Leaving the comments up gives people a reason to pount at GSG and shriek at it, making the website a lot more vulnerable to being taken down.

Anjew Torba made the same argument for censorship in 2018 and look how where that got Gab

give them a finger, and they'll take the whole arm.

Gab is a bit of a different case because it openly touted itself as everything its critics hated. So the case for censorship, regarding a website that was explicitly created to host those viewpoints, is a bit more egregious.

I don't know what the motives for GsG are. There's a very good chance that they aren't good. But I'm just saying that censoring comments in and of itself is not a good indicator of those motives because, well, it could be for any number of reasons. They can and will pull certs on problem websites, or google will just outright ban them. If i were in the same situation I might play it carefully too.

Jabob Wells, cofounder of GSG, explained why he took down comments:

It was to lessen the attack surface of GSG from ZOG, so as to a) not put her acces to the funds raised for her at risk, and b) keep the fundraising going.

IOW, comments were closed to prevent Give Send Go from being as de-banked as thoroughly as Gab was in 2017-2018, which would ruin the utility of GSG.

Resilient payment processing is still a weak link for the alt right tech space, and no one seems to breaking through with a solution. Gab tried with Gab Pay, but it doesn't seem to have picked up many users.
