postcodeGab

PostcodeGab is a social networking service that allows users to share text-based posts and images, similar to other microblogging platforms. It was launched in 2018 and gained popularity in the United Kingdom, particularly among younger users. The platform is known for its focus on local communities, with users often sharing posts related to their immediate surroundings, such as local news, events, and recommendations for businesses. PostcodeGab uses a unique system for user identification, where users are assigned a postcode-based username, which reflects their location. This feature encourages a sense of community and locality among users. The platform has faced criticism for its handling of hate speech and harassment, with some users reporting instances of toxic behavior. Despite these issues, PostcodeGab continues to be a popular social media platform in the UK, with a significant user base.
