Vice President JD Vance joined Bluesky this week and hatefully trolled trans people — he immediately became the most-blocked account on the site.
Bluesky has been a refuge for trans and other marginalized groups escaping the right-wing echo chamber X has become since Elon Musk bought the former Twitter site four years ago. Not content to bask in that platform's self-reenforcing snark, Vance brought it to Bluesky.
"Hello Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you," Vance wrote in his first post on the platform.
Vance became the site's most blocked user in its four-year history, with over 110,400 blocks in just a matter of days, according to Clearsky, which monitors social media activity.
Vance has been blocked by upwards of 50,000 people in the last 24 hours alone. That's over 12 times more blocks than the site's second-most blocked account in the past day. And that account is Vance's official government feed.
The vice president earned just 10,000 followers over his first two days on the platform.
Users were unsparing in their contempt for Trump's number two before hitting the block button.

I don't think I would like to be referred to as anyone's 'number two'.

I should join BlueSky just so I can block him, too. :laugh:
I have no time for social media apps.
