Gab's userbase is described as far right in the lede of its Wikipedia article[0], which goes on to justify that descriptor by describing the types of views (neo-Nazism, white nationalism, antisemitism, QAnon, et al.) that can commonly be found there. Among the sources cited there is Fox News[1], which describes it as "known for attracting a far-right audience."

To my understanding, Fox News is pretty commonly accepted as a news source that's right of center, and even they've run articles describing Gab as far right.

I know it's uncool to do political bikeshedding on HN, but if you'll indulge my curiosity for a minute, how would you describe Gab's politics if not "far right," and are there any spaces you would personally label that way?
