The anti-LGBTQ+ account was suspended after just nine days on the social media site Bluesky—and users are applauding the X alternative for its actual content moderation.

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.

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.

Moments After Threatening To Bomb Iran, President Trump Just Revealed His Birthday Wish—And It's Irony At Its Finest

President Donald Trump's 80th birthday is this week and his claim that his birthday wish is "peace for the world" had people raising their eyebrows, especially considering it came after he threatened to bomb Iran again.

Earlier this week, Trump declared in a post on Truth Social that Iran's military "is a complete and total mess" and bragged that most of their forces have been "completely defeated," adding:

We Just Got Our First Look At The Official Popcorn Bucket For 'The Odyssey'—And Everyone Is Making The Same Joke

At this point, movie studios aren't competing at the box office. They're competing to see who can create the most unhinged popcorn bucket.

We've had giant sandworms. We've had oversized Deadpool & Wolverine helmets. We've had designer handbags full of popcorn. We even somehow survived the predictably lackluster Melania Trump popcorn bucket era. Now, The Odyssey has entered the chat with a Trojan Horse popcorn bucket, because apparently subtlety died somewhere around 2024.

'X-Men' Star Has Important Wakeup Call For Men After Revealing He's Been Diagnosed With 'Super Rare' Breast Cancer

Breast cancer does not discriminate between people. While it is more common in women, one out of 755 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Because "breasts" are associated with women, people—including doctors—often do not recognize early signs of breast cancer in men, so they are less likely to be diagnosed until a later stage, which makes treatment more difficult.
