Thanks. Time consuming process. Feel free to suggest accounts you'd like to see relayed from Congress or otherwise. Working down a list of ~30 remaining Dem Congresspeople without any presence (not including those who replicate some, but not all Twitter posts here).

We're helping to get more Congresspeople and others to have a Bluesky presence. Suggestions welcome.

And of course, just like following and reposting, mirroring does not represent endorsement. Just belief communication should flow freely. To be supported, criticized, or ignored as one freely sees fit.

‪Starter Pack in question does not represent all accounts being mirrored. Stay tuned for lists of accounts towards which your politics may be more aligned.

Correct, mirror accounts merely repost from one social media platform to another. In these cases, government agencies & agency heads only post official government news & positions on favored privately owned Twitter/X though content effects entire public, is public domain & not subject to copyright.

Thank you for including bio (account description) which sets out mission statement and rationale fairly clearly.
Effort is non-partisan journalism intended to overcome gov favoritism of certain platforms and includes mirrors of Republican, Democrat & otherwise affiliated Twitter/X accounts.

That's why we've created and maintain mirror accounts on Bsky as distasteful as some find the posts. Better to know and criticize than ignore.

Are you suggesting such accounts and content shouldn't be on Bluesky because many users can't emotionally handle contrary political opinions and/or information they deem untruthful?

In the meantime, which critics on Bluesky would constitute a useful interim proxy?
