Just like with NPR MSNBC Twitter anything the left uses for mass communication some rightwing loser buys it and then ruins it. So that's what I thought , they there were trying to do free up tik tok so some rich friend of some pol could buy it .

Which is what I think will become of Blue Sky if that takes off although I heard it won't be that easy
