Maybe there's a selection effect on who comments on the thread? People who know and heavily dislike Gab already might be more motivated, when scrolling past the thread, to comment on it.

It's different people. You might as well complain about the human race this way.

lol and another big story is talking about china attacking activists and everyones freaking out. people who want to censor are the worst.

And they're such losers too. They just downvote because they can't even present a counterargument.

Absolutely.
