JD Vance just made an account on here and then was swiftly banned. I am obviously no fan of the VP, but Bluesky will never experience the growth it needs if it instantly bans any dissenting voice, including the Vice President of the United States. Feels like the wrong way to run things IMO.

Looks like the account is back. I actually think it's a unique opportunity for people here to very clearly let him know exactly what's on their mind. You know he'll be reading.

I think he clearly knows what’s on Americans minds especially here at bluesky and I don’t think he will read one word here. I know exactly what’s on his mind and don’t need to read his BS here. I will block.

Block, mute, report, and ban accounts like this. We don't have time to deal with smalldicks. We need to focus on our work... our message. Focus on making friends. Focus on what is important to our lives. We need to be the adults. We don't need to play games with manchildren - childish idiots.

I found his profile and read some comments. A few were bots but mostly, people not wanting him here. Then I blocked. Note, there’s more and more bots on this app now. Careful who you follow & let follow you.

Banning the guy is ridiculous. I don’t agree with most anything he says but this place already has the reputation as an echo chamber. Banning the Vice President only makes this app look bad

So are you saying growth is dependent on outright lies, denigration and whatever bag of misinformation is in his bag of tricks? So sorry, but I honestly feel responsible growth can happen without that type of compromise… in my humble opinion.

I agree, personally I rather not see the bitch so I blocked him. However, others should have the opportunity to voice their displeasure if they so choose.

Most of us give 0 f**ks what he has to say and you should know that Brett. He is trying to play a click game and we are not having it! I love MM and watch you guys faithfully, but now you have me wondering if you're just trying to get an interview. I hope not.

I don’t agree Brett. Having someone like him learning all of our discussions and plans isn’t comfortable to all of ppl. If we went on their platform they would ban us I came to this platform to have friends and peace. Not extra headaches and arguments

He or his staff will only be reading to make sure what he says pisses us off. Then he’ll screen shot that to show off to the Nazis on X. Let’s all just block the asshole & not let him use us like that. He’ll violate terms of service & get booted again. They are not doing anything in good faith.

I don't care if the devil himself has an account on here. If they do start saying offensive things or behaving in a way that goes against house rules, don't engage, mute, block, report. That's when suspension comes into play. You know, like twitter used to be.

Thanks for this, Brett. You're a good soul, it would be nice if he did wish to discuss things civilly but I have only ever seen him fomenting hostility and verbally abusing those who disagree with him, just like his boss. Still, you make a good point, and I respect that - and you - for your efforts.

No. That’s what he wants so he can go back to X to post ‘so much for the tolerant left’. He’s not here in good faith. Look at his post. Do not engage, do not share, do not reply. Only use for that account is to block as many MAGA lurkers as you can. Or just block right away, and move on.

I’m literally shaking right now because some fascist prick with MAGAt stickers on his truck cut me off on the way home from work and I come here and you’re telling me I gotta deal with more racist, anti LGBT, fascist scum bags when I’m trying to get away from their disinformation?

I think it's a Trojan horse where they just try to exhaust the opposition through bad faith arguments. These people don't care about the truth; they want to destroy the pro-democracy movement.
