Celebrating 7 Years of Gab: A Journey of Resilience and Free Speech Andrew Torba, August 15, 2023August 15, 2023 Share this: Hello Gabbers, Today we celebrate a remarkable milestone: Gab’s 7th birthday. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come since those early days and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the challenges we’ve overcome, the battles we’ve fought, and the victories we’ve achieved together. From the very beginning Gab was built on a foundation of free speech, open dialogue, and the belief that every individual has the right to speak freely without fear of censorship or suppression. However, our commitment to these principles wasn’t met with open arms by everyone. We faced a series of challenges that would have deterred many, but not us. We’ve weathered storms that came in the form of being banned from banks, app stores, hosting providers, and payment processors. These challenges could have crippled us, but instead, they fueled our determination to create a platform where free speech could thrive. We knew that building a platform like Gab wouldn’t be easy, but we were prepared to take on the fight. The battle didn’t stop there. We found ourselves going head to head with foreign governments, including those of Germany, France, and the UK. These governments demanded censorship and control over the content shared on our platform. But we stood our ground, firmly believing that the voice of the people should not be silenced by external pressures. Turning down these demands wasn’t just about our platform, but about defending the core principles of free speech that are essential to a healthy society. Throughout these seven years, we’ve also faced our fair share of challenges from the mainstream media. Unfortunately, instead of accurately portraying Gab’s commitment to free speech and open dialogue, some media outlets have chosen to paint an inaccurate picture of our platform. Despite the unwarranted attacks and attempts to tarnish our reputation, we’ve remained steadfast in our mission. We believe that the best way to address such narratives is through transparency, education, and a continued dedication to providing a platform where individuals can exercise their right to speak freely without fear of censorship or manipulation. Our journey has taught us that the pursuit of truth and freedom requires resilience in the face of adversity, and we’re more committed than ever to ensuring that Gab remains a bastion of open discourse and free speech. In moments of reflection like this, it’s impossible not to recognize the divine guidance that has carried us through every obstacle and triumph. With deep gratitude, we acknowledge the grace of God that has been our unwavering anchor throughout the years. From the trials that tested our resolve to the triumphs that celebrated our persistence, His hand has guided us through it all. It’s through His wisdom that we found the strength to stand firm in our principles, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable opposition. As we celebrate Gab’s 7th birthday and the resilience that brought us here, we humbly offer our praise and gratitude to the Almighty for His grace. One of the most significant steps we took on our journey was building our own server infrastructure. We understood the importance of independence and self-sufficiency. By creating our own infrastructure, we ensured that Gab would remain a sanctuary for free speech, even when faced with external pressures to conform. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of the Gab community. To our GabPRO subscribers, donors, advertisers, and investors, you are the backbone of this platform. Your dedication and belief in the importance of free speech have been the driving force behind our resilience. Every step we’ve taken, every challenge we’ve overcome, and every victory we’ve achieved is a testament to your unwavering commitment. As we celebrate our 7th birthday, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your courage, your passion, and your belief in the power of open discourse have kept Gab alive and thriving. It’s not just a platform; it’s a movement—a movement that stands against censorship and in favor of the fundamental right to speak freely. Here’s to the journey we’ve embarked upon, the challenges we’ve conquered, and the victories we’ve celebrated. As we look to the future, let us continue to stand together, unyielding in our commitment to free speech and the values that make Gab a beacon of hope in a world where censorship is all too common. Thank you for being a part of the Gab community and for making this platform what it is today. Here’s to many more years of resilience, growth, and the power of free speech.
