Between Meta's changes to its content-moderation policies and the TikTok ban, many social-media users, especially in the LGBTQ+ community, are seeking alternatives that prioritize safety and connection.
Callum Smith, founder of Collective, stated, "We've just been trying to stop the product from combusting because we've been having so many people come in," reflecting on the unexpected surge of new users.
Jennifer Lewis, CEO of Lex, noted a significant increase in app downloads, stating, "We saw a 2x spike in downloads following Meta's announcement about altering its content-moderation and community standards."
Advocate Josh Helfgott commented, "This is the most anti-LGBTQ announcement that a social-media platform has made in recent memory," highlighting the community's reaction to Meta's changes.
