Several academics, journalists, left-leaning politicians, and celebrities have said they would join the platform that used to be backed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

The platform said over the weekend that it was adding one million users in a day, with its total number of users now at 19 million.

Because they can’t handle honest discussion and facts, so they bail out to a “safe space” that censors non-Leftist facts/thoughts.

Every Freeper owes it to themselves to create a troll account and try to get banned. Good times.

It’s an extreme far-left Cuckoo’s nest for the RAT weirdos and freaks. The dumb bass turds have forgotten they already tried this crap on the radio back in the 90s. Rush squashed them. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.

Getting booted is easy. Just be truthful. The REAL challenge is to get booted for being too far LEFT. That's where the real fun begins.

And as a side benefit, if you never get booted, you help them double down and go even further Left for 2026, 2028, and beyond.

Exactly, but the snowflakes still aren’t satisfied. It was reported last week that they were receiving something like 5,000 user complaints / hour, flooding their conflict resolution procedure. The snowflakes are simply never happy, being unable to live and let live.

I think it was Air America or I might be confusing that with the CIA’s “shipping and transportation” company in Vietnam.

“Air America.” BlueSky is the new social media version, with extra elitism and bonus snide disdain.

X under Elon has 500 million users.
Blueski is what, 1% of that? Do they pay like X does, or nearly as much? Doubtful. And their content policing is absolute. Immediate ejectment if you don’t tow the leftist dogma.

I bet sooner, rather than later, most of the X-pats [ha!] will come sulking back, saying they “need to be engaged to make a difference” or some such nonsense. So good luck with that.

Can't be too safe with the thousands of complaints that people are filing against other posters.
