New York (CNN Business) Gab, an alternative social media network popular with conservatives, the alt-right and some extremists, is surging in popularity after conservative social network Parler was effectively taken off the internet in the wake of the January 6 Capitol siege. On Thursday, Gab tweeted that it gained 2.3 million new users over the past week. During that time period, people visited Gab 55 million times, viewing 100 million pages on the social network, Gab said. The platform has been criticized for hosting hate-filled, violent speech, for which it has been -- like Parler -- ostracized from most Big Tech companies that serve as front doors to the internet. Because of that, Gab has had some difficulty keeping its platform working smoothly during the recent influx of traffic.

Parler appears to be close to returning online, after being kicked off Amazon Web Services on January 10. The website on Sunday evening featured a message from Parler's CEO, John Matze, in which he stated, "We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!"
