X and Bluesky have announced they are launching custom video feeds as TikTok faces an uncertain future in the U.S.

Bluesky was created by a Twitter co-founder as a side project, but it's now seen an influx of new users following the U.S. election and inauguration.

Nobody beats the NFL when it comes to performative gestures. End zones and helmets have been adorned with slogans like “Stop Hate” and “End Racism” for four years, but make no mistake: None of this matters to the shield unless it’s bringing in money.

Scientists fleeing X are flocking to fast-growing Bluesky because there are “fewer Nazis," according to a Nature survey. Of the nearly 6,000 readers who responded to the scientific journal’s online poll, 70% said they used Bluesky because it was “nicer, kinder, and less antagonistic to science than X,” according to the publication.

More and more major subreddits have recently banned links to the Twitter (X) platform purchased by Elon Musk – some even banned screenshots. The reason for this is a gesture by Musk – he showed an alleged Hitler salute at US President Trump's swearing-in ceremony.

Billionaire's estranged daughter has used rival social media platforms to attack Trump's anti-transgender executive order, and her dad's salute.

Social media might never be the same. Is this the new normal, or will things get worse?

Bluesky is not the only app that could serve as a destination for TikTok users. Elon Musk says that X (formerly Twitter) is "looking into" bringing Vine back. X (then Twitter) purchased Vine in 2012. Back then, Vine did not even have an iOS app. Vine remained active until 2017, when it was shut down.

Most teams and athletes are hyper-sensitive about their images, so as X further degrades, they should consider the alternative.

Musk has promoted antisemitic and white nationalist content online, and has endorsed a neo-Nazi party in Germany.

Elon Musk was accused of making a troubling gesture during Donald Trump's inauguration - and people are so disgusted they're leaving X.

A ban on links to X content began on Reddit sports forums and has spread to numerous other sub-Reddits with more discussing the move.
