The subject of gravity for a flat earth is fascinating. If flat earthers were capable of thought, working out the details would terminally muddle their brains.

Newton showed that gravity could be modelled as emanating from the mass considered as a concentrated point at the center of mass.

The FE earth model puts the North pole at the center of the disk and imagines Antarctica as an icy fence at the circumference which prevents stuff from falling off the disk.

That would mean that the gravitational force on the disk surface would point horizontally towards the North pole. Living in a horizontal force field would have some disturbing features. Dropped objects would end up on the north wall of your house. Ball games would brecome exercises in vector math. Every pendulous object would be a compass. Hunting with a firearm would require accelerometers and a fire control computer.
