Some initially thought Trump might reappear on Parler, a far-right haven that the Trump Organization had previously held talks with, as an anonymous "Person X" - but those efforts fell through.

But Axios reported Wednesday that Trump is also in talks with a relatively obscure social media app called FreeSpace, an affiliate of Skylab Apps, that has just 20,000 downloads and not many users.
By comparison, Twitter has 192 million daily users, according to its latest quarterly earnings report.
The details of a Trump-FreeSpace deal, if one is reached at all, aren't yet clear, according to Axios. A spokesperson for Trump did not respond to a request for comment.
FreeSpace says its app is backed by science that makes people "'addicted' to doing good," "built on the power of positivity," and wants to "make social media fun again." It would appear to be an odd partnership for Trump, who is one of the world's largest promoters of misinformation and has consistently used racist, sexist, xenophobic, and violence-inciting language that eventually got him booted from mainstream platforms.
