Former US President Donald Trump is working with an unpopular social media app called FreeSpace to launch his social media network, Axios reports.

This follows a ban of the former president by Twitter on January 8, two days after the riot and violent attacks on the United States Congress at the US Capitol, severing his access to his nearly 90 million followers.

Facebook followed the next day, cutting former president Trump's ties with another 33 million followers.

After the ban, 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.

Since then, Trump's advisors have repeatedly hinted that the former president might launch his network to connect with his followers.

Axios reported Wednesday that Trump is in talks with a relatively unknown social media app called FreeSpace, an affiliate of Skylab Apps, that has just 20,000 downloads and not many users to launch his own network.

The details of a Trump-FreeSpace deal, if one is reached at all, aren't yet clear.

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.

In other news, a female pilot has been showered with accolades by passengers of a plane after she mastered the moment and landed safely at an airport amid uneasy weather conditions.
