Former President Donald Trump seems to have found a way of gaining access to his fans after Twitter and Facebook banned him from their platform, losing the accounts which had millions of followers.
According to a report by Axios, Trump is planning on joining FreeSpace. The decision is, however, shocking to many as social media has about 20,000 downloads. The app has less public acceptance rate.
FreeSpace is an affiliate of Skylab Apps, and the tech firm prides itself against the very values Trump is known to breach. The American startup describes itself as an app that makes people get addicted to doing good.
Also, it stated that it is built on the power of positivity. This contravenes the actions Trump is known for on Twitter and Facebook before he was banned by both organisations after the Capitol riot.
