This is pretty hilarious…
Bluesky fancies itself a competitor to Twitter/X, but the numbers show it barely registers as existent:
- X.com: Approximately 250 million global DAUs as of November 2024.
- Bluesky.com: Approximately 6.4 million global DAUs as of November 2024.
So imagine being that irrelevant and still banning people you don’t agree with from your platform.
The arrogance and hubris and…flat out stupidity!
I think TDS truly does decrease IQ by 50 points.
Because that’s what the mensas over at Bluesky did today just minutes after JD Vance joined their platform and tried to engage.
The SITTING Vice President of the United States joined and tried to use your platform and they did this to him:
Vice President JD Vance was permanently suspended from ‘Bluesky’ less than 20 minutes after making an account.
I’m sure it will replace 𝕏 in no time! pic.twitter.com/ml7MjPx4O7

Just like so many of us from 2016-2025, just POOF — gone — deleted from social media as if he didn’t exist!

Except….he’s the sitting Vice President!
Here’s a quick summary of all that has happened so far today on this story:
JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, announced on Wednesday that he had joined Bluesky, a social media platform and competitor to X (formerly Twitter).
Roughly 20 minutes after his announcement, Vance’s new Bluesky account was suspended, prompting immediate public attention.
The suspension message simply read: “Account has been suspended.”
Bluesky has not released an official explanation for the account’s suspension.
Before the suspension, Vance posted that he was excited to engage in “common sense political discussion and analysis.”
In his first post, he criticized medical treatments for transgender youth, citing Justice Clarence Thomas and accusing some medical professionals of using “substandard science” for “experimental therapies.”
Vance also claimed that some scientists are influenced by pharmaceutical company funding.
His account has since been reinstated, but the platform has remained silent on the reason for the brief suspension.
The incident has drawn increased scrutiny of censorship and free speech on alternative social media platforms.
Here is what Vance had posted to the platform:
Ok, look two things look pretty obvious to me here…
One, JD Vance knew exactly what would happen and he was just baiting them to do it.
I’m not defending them or saying Vance was trolling, but I it’s clear from his tongue-in-cheek post that he knew he’d get insta-banned.
Two, it’s clear that nothing about Vance’s post was offensive or violated any Terms of Service.
So why did he post it knowing he would get banned?
I think Vance and Trump want to go after Section 230 and shut it down once and for all, and I think they just got the ammunition they needed to do so.
And/or to sue Bluesky out of existence.
One or both:
Bluesky suspended the official account of JD Vance 15 minutes after signing up…
This was his last post. lol
As funny as this is, this may set a precedent for the Trump admin to go after Section 230. pic.twitter.com/g02lqNvw6F

Good luck Bluesky!
I hope you go down and I hope you take Facebook with you.
You’re all disgusting censors of Free Speech and I hate you all with a passion.
Go get ’em, JD!
