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.

I know exactly what’s on his mind and don’t need to read his BS here. I will block.
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.
And sending the Gestapo to our doors 🚪
If we tell him what we really think 🤔
I’ll just block him instead.
Probably better for me as fucking 🍊 ass 🤡 , fucking trump, and piece of shit 💩 asshole administration are some of my favorite phrases😆😆🤪
NOPE NADA🤢🤮
So sorry, but I honestly feel responsible growth can happen without that type of compromise… in my humble opinion.
He was nonsensically praising Big Daddy.
Oh wait. He might get blocked at some point…. 😉
Take him down a buch of notches.
Look. He doesn't care what we think and would be another shit posting troll like Senator Mike Lee is on Twitter.

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.
(But „your mileage may differ“.)
I'm sure there are some who aren't saying that in bad faith, but better to assume they are and block
NO THANK YOU. Hard pass.
Allowing falsehoods and the truth to have equal weight is one of the reasons society is in chaos.
Its not necessary to platform documented liars.
They’re net negative.
Bluesky made the right choice.
Appeasement only works on good-faith actors.
I called him out and seconds later..he blocked me.
Really
His voice isn't dissent.
It's power. Undeserved power. And potentially dangerous as well.
I blocked him right away.
His opening post from anyone else could be a serious discussion point... From anyone else.
Refreshing to be able to read genuine range of opinions with little dross posting.
It has nothing to do with his shitty voice
I don't think he wrote them or that it was really J.D. that opened the account..
We should welcome conservatives, but fuck these MAGA nazis. They don't deserve the attention or platform.
The right has tons of echo chambers, and it works for them. We can have at least one.
No good comes from him being here.
However, I've learned over the years the best way to deal with a zealot is to categorically refuse to engage with them.
Vance is a zealot. 'Nuff said.
He's made clear he is incapable of different.
Also, couch fuckers shouldn't have a platform anywhere.
Maybe it's Maybelline.
Its not true as far as I know, but its a dissenting voice. So what if its dissent based on lies and bad faith like Vance -- isn't that what Brett thinks we need ?
Walk me through what that entails. Does Bluesky need more liars? More faschists? More "diversity" from fact and good faith?
Or just more numbers period regardless how much they diminish the overall quality of the forum?
Or were you thinking that those of us who don't want to see or hear his shit should nonetheless be prohibited from blocking him? Because that's what is going to happen anyway even if he isn't banned.
To turn it into another X.
I'm here for a reason, moderation.
fuck dissenting voices when what they're descending about is the humanity of actual people who exist.
Closes account or gets booted, then cries victim?~
So it turns out he was the victim all along, WHO KNEW!
They are fascist, and they aren't good faith actors.
If they were good faith actors, then post away.
It's not 1986, the repcons are the enemy, and they are the ones who decided to be this way.
It's not going to work but he's trying.

NOPE!
Fuck that guy.
Easily viewed as trolling from a potentially fake account, hence the ban (which has been removed I think?)
Extremely hard to view his attempt as genuine.
This is how democracies fail to protect themselves.
Once you spot an enemy to democracy, you DO NOT NORMALIZE HIM.
And if you still don't recognize JD Vance is an enemy to democracy, I really don't know how to help.
It would have been much more amusing to see him ragequit in less than an hour.
EVERYTHING they say is designed to undermine the truth.
I love you Brett but no one needs his ignorant gaslighting.
