Gab Social

Gab Social is an open source and fully decentralized social network powered by the Gab Platform. It is the new social network of Gab.com. This change was made to further Gab's committment to it's users trust and privacy online. And, by offering decentralization and federation, Gab further demonstrates a lack of interest in the ownership of your data.

The Gab Social project is based on the Gab Social project, and is licensed under the terms and conditions of AGPL-3.0. While we will be keeping this license, over time we will be keeping less and less of the original project's source code and approach.

Our goal is to establish the foundation of a federated network of social networks. Our first step is our move to this technology, which immediately enables the construction of that network and provides the tools people will need to create and build. Over time, a new implementation of this system will emerge that is entirely based on Node.js, moves away from Postgres as it's database, and becomes part of the HYDRA family.

Project goals

We have diverged from Gab Social in several ways in pursuit of our own goals.

  1. Node.js has been updated to 10.15.3LTS for hosting the Streaming API in compliance with the Gab Platform.
  2. Statuses were renamed from 'toots' to 'gabs'
  3. The maximum length of a status was increased to 3,000 characters
  4. Advanced media (MP4, WebM, etc.) was limited to PRO subscribers
  5. The creation of custom emoji was limited to PRO subscribers
  6. The browser client user experience has been significantly altered to match what users of Gab will expect
  7. Features were added to integrate the system with the Gab platform (accessing trends from Dissenter, for example)

BTCPay

In order to make BTC flow work, 3 enviornment variables need to be set:

Deployment

Tech stack:

  • Ruby on Rails powers the REST API and other web pages
  • React.js and Redux are used for the dynamic parts of the interface
  • Node.js powers the streaming API

Requirements:

  • PostgreSQL 9.5+
  • Redis
  • Ruby 2.4+
  • Node.js 8+

The repository includes deployment configurations for Docker and docker-compose, but also a few specific platforms like Heroku, Scalingo, and Nanobox.

A stand-alone installation guide will be provided as soon as possible.

A Vagrant configuration is included for development purposes.
