Several of these folks have two accounts, a personal one and an official one. (AOC is just one example) Wondering which would be the better account, or if they just plan on duplicating posts on both accounts.

esmewrites.bsky.social•99 days ago

i'd go with the account where she's already been posting (and it has the most followers); the other has less and no posts yet

realitytourist.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yeah, they're likely to use the personal accounts they already have followers on than an official account.

I gotta admit, the echo chamber that is Bluesky is making me want to become a Republican. I see now why Kamala and our Dems nationwide got curb stomped and gave President Trump a historic win and mandate. Not sure I can associate with you weird and wacky folks much longer.

rusty.zcx.cc•99 days ago

My rep and one of my senators is on there. I know the other senator is out of town at the moment, so expect that will be updated presently. Following a few others. Would like to see fresh activity from my rep. Maybe that will happen with the boost in membership here.

Yes they're working on this. Twitter X is adopting a grey electeds checkmark in addition to blue checkmark, they're on the path to becoming official state media accounts. It's all very unsettling.
