    The idea is this plugin would make it possible for gab users to comment in every article that the comment section is disabled or removed or selective censored(any negative comments are removed) for some reason.

    What is your opinion about these?

    Anything that widens the available opinions is good. I don't believe in hate speech, especially in written form. Anyone who chooses to read things that they find offensive is masochistic and not a victim

    Lolz, it's already being used on this site. Of course I approve. It's not perfect and just like Gab itself it has issues, but almost anything at this point is better than Twatter, FB and Google.

    I would argue that if the commenting is disabled, it may be for a very good reason. That may not be true, but the points remains that the originator of the article, thread, whatever either didn't want any comments or turned them off after a period of time with good reason. So using a plugin to bypass that seems kind of wrong. If you feel so strongly about saying something on a subject, make your own thread to comment or write your own article, don't waste your time hijacking a locked comment section where only people using this plug-in will be able to respond to you.

    No problem with it, but I also have no problem with FB, Twitter etc.

    They are private companies and can decide what they want in their sites, like Gab Dissenters owner can. US free speech isn’t about going onto others property and doing whatever you want, it’s about the government not censoring you.
