The internet is rejoicing after a homophobic account called "Libs of TikTok" was banned by the microblogging social media site Bluesky, an alternative to that other platform owned by the transphobic billionaire and President-elect Donald Trump's biggest cheerleader.

Libs of TikTok, run by former real estate agent Chaya Raichik, is a handle for various far-right and anti-LGBTQ+ media with content that emboldens the MAGA contingent to spread harmful rhetoric and cause death threats to members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Users flocked to Bluesky, and away from X (formerly Twitter), in increasing numbers after President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election in an attempt to distance themselves from Trump's closest ally, Elon Musk.

The anti-trans Tesla CEO has repeatedly deadnamed his estranged trans daughter in interviews and claimed he lost "his son" to the "woke virus."

Bluesky users celebrated the news of their favored site essentially closing the door on Libs of TikTok on December 2.


fifty thousand blocks. libs of tiktok was blocked FIFTY — THOUSAND — TIMES 🤣

Former Democratic Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia lauded Bluesky, saying:

"This is why bluesky is going to be a success. Real moderation."
"Libsoftiktok is racist, homophobic, and actually causes harm to others. They can keep their bullsh*t elsewhere."

The move was deemed a victory against hatred.

It's crazy that all they want to do is spread hate on every platform. Then cry about freedom of speech.

Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik was featured in a Fox and Friends segment in which she blasted public schools for allegedly offering minors " pornography."

Raichik said:

"Every single day in America, our children are under attack, specifically in the school system, and that's what I seek to expose every single day."

Her introduction was in response to a news report about a Maine sixth grader who showed his father a book he found objectionable on display at his school's library.

The book was Alice Oseman's graphic novel featuring the characters "Nick & Charlie" from Netflix's LGBTQ+ teen romance series Heartstopper. The teen male characters are lying in bed together, fully clothed, and reading a book.

Raichik said "the issue of pornography in schools" was something she's been discussing since starting Libs of TikTok.

You can see the interview here.

Raichik's rhetoric is reflected in her account, which falsely accuses LGBTQ+ inclusive schools and adults of "indoctrinating" and "grooming" kids.

The false claims publicized on Libs of TikTok have caused outrage among conservatives and have led to LGBTQ+-themed family events, such as Drag Queen Story Hour, being targeted by right-wing extremists like The Proud Boys.

One LGBTQ+ student group at South Dakota State University faced a bomb threat after Libs of TikTok shared misleading posts with manipulated video footage featuring a drag show intended for all ages.

To whip up outrage, the video was allegedly spliced with footage from the previous year's age-restricted version of the same event.

Raichik, who also believes gender-affirming surgery is a form of "child abuse," disseminated false information via Libs of TikTok relating to misleading news of hospitals offering gender-affirming bottom surgeries.

The deceptive posts consequently led to hospital employees being subjected to harassment and the hospitals they work for facing bomb threats.

Bluesky wants none of that toxicity on their site, and neither do we.

Kellyanne Conway Just Tried To Claim Trump's Divisive Speech On The National Mall Was Actually 'Inclusive'—And The Delusion Is Real

President Donald Trump's former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway was criticized after she praised his speech on the National Mall on Wednesday night by claiming on Fox News that Trump extended an "olive branch" to people who didn't vote for him.

Trump's remarks themselves resembled a campaign rally more than the unifying and "inclusive" celebration organizers had promised. Within minutes of taking the stage, he criticized former President Joe Biden without mentioning him by name, declaring that the United States had recently been "a dead country" before claiming it had become "the hottest country anywhere in the world."
