It would be a real shame if someone who covers this beat had some as-yet-undisclosed and pretty extensive dealings with @robmonster back in 2018, now wouldn’t it? https://twitter.com/parlertakes/status/1348766514816512000

Oh man I’m too tired to write this thread tonight but, oh man, that @robmonster is a character, aren’t you Rob. (He is.)

While I gather my thoughts, please do some homework reading https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c17bb29e4b05d7e5d846f72/amp

I’m normally opposed to sharing DMs but given that Rob doxed my phone number on Twitter and did nada for months to get death threats against me weren’t removed from Gab, we are going to have to play by different rules

That one is just weird. More on this soon. Sigh.

I really need to wait until @MollyOShah is awake and I’m awake bc she is an important part of this.

Okay, @MollyOShah is awake, we can resume. This is going to be a scrappy insiders subscribers-only type thread. I am so tired.

So, right after the Tree of Life synagogue shooting, gab was basically in parler’s exact position now— fucked. And rob monster swooped in to save them. So i went from tweeting about Gab, to tweeting at Rob/Epik/Gab asking why they didn’t deal with their Nazis.

And I end up on the phone with Rob -- which is not weird for me, b/c I love the phone -- you know, so that I can yell at him about Gab's Nazi problem.

And I am unaware of Rob's, um, feelings about these issues at this point. I'm an open-minded optimistic kind of person. And a Gab Nazi has just murdered people in a synagogue. And here Rob is re-platforming the Nazis.

So, Rob says he would prefer if I could not tweet about the Nazi problem, kind of implying he gets it's an issue. And he sort of proposes I cease and desist for 90 days while he cleans up the Nazi problem.

But I don’t like the terms of this deal so I say, Hey that’s great you’re aware of the problem but I’ll actually keep tweeting during the 90 days.

But I also try to meet him halfway, because I'm a helpful person. And I offer to send him the worst accounts on Gab, so he can have Andrew Torba take them down. (If I got you kicked off of Gab, no I am not sorry, and also you're a Nazi!)

At some point, I post a tweet about Cantwell, and Cantwell -- who was Gab's biggest account -- begins a months long spree of posting about raping and killing me.

Rob won't take Cantwell's account down, and instead asks if I will do a fireside chat with him as moderator and Cantwell, the Nazi writing about murdering me. I declined! Then he doxed me. Hmmm, what else

Okay, so now you have to read the part where he also doxed Cantwell. This is @MollyOShah's original thread. https://twitter.com/MollyOShah/status/1064559963744419840?s=20

Anyway, Nazis of Parler and Gab, the guy who is Parler's your brand new domain registrar -- and Gab's I assume still -- let an antifascist journalist help decide which of you should get kicked off Gab.
