Seconding Jean-Hugues about Gettr and Li about Gab. Both platforms are actively promoted by Twitter/X users, which provides an access point for thinking about cross-platform radicalization networks. It may also explain why the owner of X has no concerns about losing billions if he can mainstream or accelerate access to these alt-right threat-generation sites. Among the problems in this data are open threats to kill doctors who promote vaccine use.

Hi Rod
I'd also suggest Gettr, which has an undocumented API surprisingly easy to tap into. For example, here is a random user's posts: https://api.gettr.com/u/user/dleeb/posts?offset=0&max=20
The same user's followers: https://api.gettr.com/u/user/dleeb/followers?max=20&offset=0
You can retreive only 20 posts/users per call, changing the offset to 20, 40 etc. allows you to go down the list.
Hope this helps

Does anyone know of a web forum (or even an open-to-the-public Facebook or Reddit page) where Right and Far-Right politics are being discussed? These are remarkably hard to find! I am looking for spaces that have been in operation for at least a few years so I can chart changes over time.
