Leftists who have migrated to a social media platform called Bluesky, a competitor – even though it's only a fraction of the size – of X, formerly Twitter, have responded to an invitation from Vice President JD Vance to discuss the issues … by blocking him.
A Fox News report explained that Vance "is leveraging" the social media platform "commonly used by liberals," to troll Democrats.
He joined the platform a week ago, and was able, eventually, to post after the corporation originally blocked him entirely.
He instantly became the social media platform's "most blocked user," the report said.
"'It's great to see all of those Dem (party of tolerance) users sticking their heads in the sand by blocking JDV and refusing to even listen to a differing viewpoint," one commenter said.
"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. Then he shared a comment about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' opinion in a decision that affirmed a Tennessee law banning transgender surgeries for minors.
"To that end, I found Justice Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth quite illuminating. He argues that many of our so-called 'experts' have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth, I might add that many of those scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids. What do you think?"
The report said data from ClearSky, which monitors censorship agendas on social media platforms, confirmed that Vance's account on Bluesky "has been blocked by nearly 150,000 other accounts."
Bluesky became a little more popular following President Donald Trump's 2024 election, and offers services as an "alternative" to X, owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk, who supported Trump in the election.
Vance had "quipped" that he heard Bluesky was the platform for "common sense political discussion and analysis."
The corporation immediately banned his account, then reinstated it, claiming it had been flagged as an imposter account.
Fox reported, "In the week since Vance joined the platform, he has repeatedly trolled Democrats, including following New York City's mayoral primaries, when democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani trounced top competitor and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at the polls. Mamdani's victory is viewed as the Democrat Party moving farther to the left in New York City after national voters sounded off in the 2024 election that the party's embrace of some left-wing policies alienated Americans."
Vance had offered "congratulations to the new leader of the Democratic Party."
Another response on social media, about the blocking, was, "Of course the left will block him. The truth blows up the brainwashing."
