What does ‘Gabbing’ mean in this context?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

a mass defederation from a specific instance like what happened when Gab tried to join the Fediverse

Thank you, I was aware of Gab from the news, but didn’t realize they tried to join the fediverse.

Everyone’s so dang helpful here, love the vibe.
