For those uninitiated with the darker corners of the internet, Gab is an ~alternative~ social media sight based on "free speech." What that looks like in real life is a platform filled with bigotry and hate.
The shooter in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting was a Gab user, and announced his intention to carry out his crime on Gab. In response, Gab's hosting company Joyent, domain provider GoDaddy, and payment processors PayPal and Stripe all revoked their services.

Issues with payment processors has been a major blocker for many sorts of "fringe" activities. For a long time cannabis dispensaries here were either cash only or charged upward of 20% to process a card. In the crazy angry white dudes case it's kind of amusing that FIs are the second line, first the major "platforms" attempted to shut them down under the guise of run off the mill modern liberal moral outrage, and only when reorganization else started to gain just a bit of traction did financial infrastructure step up to stop them, an industry with more.... (((Obvious reasons for being hostile to this content))).
Not that I expect it to matter, but in the us at least we have a very different history of regulating and treating as public infrastructure financial services vs. internet corporations. It takes some wind out of the sails of the "the go build your own" argument when the people who are supposed to build their own are being locked out of access to the single most important thing for a successful venture in our society: capital.

It would be nice to see crypto being used to support radical ideologues whatever their stance, than just being used for drugs.

"No one will run backbone cable to my datacenter because I'm on the fascist-left's shit-list"
"why don't you make your own infrastructure company"
"At massive expense I laid my own cable but I've been null routed because critical routers are controlled by people who disagree with me and net neutrality is long since dead"
"why don't you start your own relays that hold to your ideology?"
"I've somehow managed to get transatlantic cable run and switches set up in like 30 locations in order to run my shitty conspiracy news/white nationalist site but ISPs are enhancementing my shit"
"why don't you start your own ISP?"
"I started my own ISP and basically created a second internet for my shitty unprofitable news site. Unfortunately in the process I accepted so much VC funding that I'm now legally forbidden from acknowledging the existence of jedis or mentioning infrastructural concerns, but at least the people can hear about the gay frogs and laugh. Take THAT new world order!"

I say something like "lets just acknowledge that we lost", but we aren't even allowed to do that.
They want to keep the narrative going that we internet shitposters are oppressing the world, and they, with their billion dollar companies, skyscrapers, and phones full of politicians personal phone numbers, are the plucky and brave resistance against us.

Why don't you just print your own money if you think you can't get it without those strings attached? 🤔🤔🤔

If you're worried about government agencies raiding you why don't you just make your own government? Whiny ass alt-right losers.
