Wow, it is actually shocking how disgusting the CEO's comments are.

There's been lots of previous discussion, such as: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26319649

I'm not surprised. Parler and Gab were just thrown together, and made themselves hugely attractive sites to attack.

Yeah, he's the worst. I knew him in YC, and actually liked him. But I watched him spiral as he wasn't able to raise money for his startup, including starting to go to Trump rallies "out of curiosity". His FB posts began to include worse and worse rhetoric. It was crazy to watch him get radicalized in realtime. It ended in him harassing some (minority) YC founders who said they were scared by saying we should "Build the wall".

(Edit: His comments were worse than I let on; here's the full context https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/12/pro-trump-ceo-gets-booted-...)

Gab is a joke. I got banned for making a post asking how are all the domestic terrorists Trump supporters doing after the capitol riot. I guess that is ban-worthy on their free speech network while advocating for assassinating public officials is a-ok.

I'm a minority, and I feel really fucking stupid that I have to say that so I don't get banned, but how on earth can anyone get expelled for saying they support the policy of the US government?

That is insular to the point of caricature for out of touch democrat staffing aids, not people trying to make money.

Sorry, that's my fault, I'm going to edit my comment. I downplayed what he said.

He got expelled from YC for saying we should build a border wall?
