The square is back. And this time, it's yours.

Because that's the word that survived. Three years after the rebrand, and after a serious corporate effort to replace it, people still say tweet. It was never a company's word — it's what one person does when they say something. On 3 September 2026 a federal court declined to enjoin our use of the Tweet mark and the bird logo, finding we're likely to prove X Corp. abandoned both. So we took the name nobody ever stopped saying.

The ruling went both ways. The court granted X Corp.'s injunction as to its Twitter word marks, and we'll follow that order while the case proceeds to trial. It denied the motion as to the Tweet mark and the bird logo. We're not going to argue the rest of it on a website — the opinion is public, and we've published it with plain-English annotations so you can read it yourself.

No. Operation Bluebird, Inc. is not affiliated with X Corp. in any way, and never has been.

Nothing, except the name over the door. Your handle is your handle. Your founder number is your founder number. Your place in line is unchanged. If you have a question about your membership, write to members@bluebird.social and a person will answer you.

You do. We don't ban or delete anything. We score claims out in the open, with sources, and you set your own threshold. It's your dial, not our verdict.

Censorship removes things. We don't remove anything. Every post stays up, every account stays up, and if you turn your dial to zero you'll see all of it. What we changed is that lies stop traveling for free.

No. Any system that scores claims will get some wrong. That's why the sources are attached and the reasoning is visible, so you can catch us. We're promising openness and control, not omniscience. Anyone promising omniscience is selling something.

Not yet, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What's live today is the square and your place in it. The trust signals and the Trust Dial arrive with the platform. This site shows you an illustration of how the control works, not a screenshot of something finished. If you want to wait until it's real, wait. We'd rather have you later and honest than now and disappointed.

Because you're either the customer or the inventory. There's no third option, and the last twenty years picked one for you. Paying is how this place ends up answering to its members instead of ad buyers. It also keeps the bot farms out, which free never has.

Founder is $20. In before the public, your handle, your founder number (#00001 and up), and the Founder badge. Fighter is $40 or more. Everything a Founder gets, plus the Fighter badge, for the people who don't just show up, they stand up. Same square either way. Fighters are carrying more of it.

It's a lot compared to free. Free is what we're arguing with. This is early access to something being built right now, and the money goes into building it. If that's not what you want to spend twenty dollars on, we'd rather you waited.

No. It's a membership and a stake in something. Not equity, not shares, no financial return, no promises about the future value of anything. If that sounds like a lawyer wrote it, a lawyer did, and he's right.

It isn't the business. We're paid by members, which is the entire reason we don't need to sell what you do here.

A real payment method, a real charge behind every handle, and a score system that makes an army of fake accounts expensive and pointless. Not perfect. A great deal harder than free.

Fair question, and the honest answer is that everyone who built one of these promised they wouldn't. So don't take the promise. Watch what we're paid for. As long as our money comes from members and not advertisers, the incentive to manipulate your feed doesn't exist. The day that changes, you'll know, because you'll feel it before we announce it.
