The Rubber Federation is excited to announce our decision to transition away from the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and establish BlueSky as our primary social networking channel among others. This change reflects our unwavering commitment to inclusivity, unbiased communication, and ethical digital practices in support of the vibrant global Rubber Kinkster community.

Why We’re Saying Goodbye to X

In recent years, X has increasingly prioritized profit-driven changes that compromise its core value as a community-oriented platform. This includes upselling basic features, amplifying biased content for political and corporate gain, and failing to deliver on fair and relevant content moderation practices. These changes have created an environment that no longer serves the open and dynamic interactions our community expects and deserves.

At the Rubber Federation, we believe in fostering spaces that are safe, equitable, and reflective of our mission to unite Rubber Kinksters worldwide. Remaining on X would conflict with these principles and with our promise to support platforms that prioritize integrity, fairness, and user-first practices.

Why BlueSky?

BlueSky offers a breath of fresh air—built on the foundation of Twitter’s original infrastructure but reimagined to prevent corruption, corporate greed, and bias. With transparent business practices and a dedication to keeping user trust at its core, BlueSky is the platform we believe will best serve the needs of our growing community.

Through BlueSky, we’ll continue to deliver the latest updates, share engaging content, and maintain the level of interaction our followers have come to expect. This move will not only future-proof our communications but also create a more vibrant and inclusive digital space.

What This Means for Our Followers

As part of this transition, we will keep our X account in order to guide X users to our new BlueSky profile. The X profile will be inactive and unresponsive to engagements on the platform. We encourage our followers to join us on BlueSky to stay connected, informed, and involved in our mission. While we recognize this may present a hurdle for some users unfamiliar with the platform, we are confident that this change will result in a more positive experience for all.

For those unfamiliar with BlueSky or in need of assistance creating an account, we recommend reaching out directly via BlueSky’s support page.

Moving Forward Together

This decision is part of our broader effort to align the Rubber Federation’s practices with platforms and organizations that share our values. We are optimistic and excited about the opportunities BlueSky offers for fostering a supportive and unbiased digital environment for our global community.

We invite our members, partners, and allies to join us in embracing this new chapter. Together, we’ll continue to build a stronger, more connected rubber community—one that reflects our commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and innovation.
