  In other news, there is new competition for Pjuu. @Joe, check Gab.ai out.

  I got 100k cleared in 2-3 days.
  It is a cross between Twitter, Reddit and Facebook. Definitely going big.
  
  Has some ideas that Pjuu might like as well.

  The election came down to a .2% difference. That's "close" in my book.

  @mukt I'm a little confused. What does it have that we don't? I can't seem to find it's source code. It's obviously getting a lot of attention.

  What is gab.ai?

  @Joe if you do a search, there's a bunch of articles about it. Nothing pops out to me that I'd like to see implemented here. I think a "spoiler" feature thing would be neat, though.

  @johnnynull looks like it has the same features as here except maybe the self censorship.

  The way you described gab.ai, @Mukt, makes it unusable.. mix of Twitter, Reddit, Facebook? Sounds to me like the developers could'nt decide which network they want to copy x)

  @jonnynull do you have a link to the "spoiler" feature? I couldn't seem to find it.

  Today, that I have actually used it, it doesn't sound as useful except for one thing: Indians are getting on big way.
  
  
  Gab.ai has 300 character limit, voting decides the sequence on global timeline. It has one big self moderation idea that I'd like Pjuu to implement: users can mute words and trends the way twitter allows muting of users. Apart from that and legally actionable content, Gab claims to have no moderation at all.

  And, it is mostly like Twitter with a feature added or removed here and there. Only with more meaningful content thanks to larger character limit.

  @Johnnynull Americans do not count it that way. Neither do we Indians...
  
  Also, if you count it that way, than it is Hillary who won.

  @mukt Yeah, I didn't learn that Clinton got more of the popular vote when all was said and done until late yesterday.

  @mukt just got my invite to gab.ai and its pretty nice. I like the mute feature for your feed. Will definitely get round to adding something similar. Think it needs a decent spec though.... I just wish Pjuu had worked out like these other sites as we seem to be doing the exact same things.

  Gab also has "AI" that's supposed to ultimately remove "threatening" or "terrorist" posts. I think underage porn as well as porn not flagged as NSFW. Think I'm getting that right.
  
  Actually adding filters would be awesome. Mobile clients for GS have filters for users and keywords. I find it invaluable.

  @Joe except Pjuu has a focus on privacy.

  Yea I like the filter idea its great. There is nothing to stop us from removing that content based on text and image analysis but I guess that means what you are doing needs to be monitored. We do offer as much free speech as those sites. I think them monitoring all the content could easily lead to them battening down on free speech later down the line as it would be a simple tweak to that algorithm to silence posts.

  @Joe 1,000% in agreement. I found the fact that Gab is touting that kind of filtering to be quite ironic.

  Also, I should point out: "stock market crash"? Not here, nope.

  @johnnynull I think we made need to change the wording to include free speech as it appears to be more important than privacy. Also the whole beta, sign-up process is a marketing trick used by a lot of sites. I spoke to a marketing friend of mine when we first pushed Pjuu out and that was one of his suggestions as it gives the feeling of exclusivity. I don't think that is something you need when free-speech/privacy is what you are trying to get at.

  @Joe agreed re: signing up. Insofar as the privacy v free speech thing, I would council that you keep to your vision of Pjuu. The focus on one or the other swaps based upon whatever is in the public eye at the time (and of course varies from person to person).
