Gab did or someone else?

Gab.

Eh, maybe it wasn't getting much traction. Not every idea pans out in the end. Being able to leave a comment on any article or website sounded like a novel concept on paper, but isn't that basically what we do here?

No, it's not. And it was doing great.

Dissenter was not doing great by any stretch of the word.

  1. Half of the pages that were politically charged had zero dissenter comments.
  2. Dissenter expected folks to create a profile just to use it, which is exactly why nobody ever did.

I think Dissenter would be more novel of an idea and do better in general if the software for the Dissenter comment engine itself was open-source and it were federated like Gab Social is.

Go ahead and argue with yourself. You're wrong.

Dissenter's not exactly dead. They merged a lot of the functionality into their Gab Trends platform. Though, it still only embeds Dissenter comments from the Dissenter website itself and doesn't load them directly within the Gab Trends platform itself.

Trust me, it blows. I can't even comment on posts.
