(PatriotNews.net) – Vice President JD Vance’s account on Bluesky was suspended within 12 minutes of his first post – proving once again that so-called “progressive” platforms aren’t actually interested in diverse viewpoints, just echo chambers that shield liberals from opposing ideas.
At a Glance
- JD Vance was suspended from Bluesky within 10-12 minutes of creating his account and making his first post
- His initial post discussed a Supreme Court ruling on transgender medical treatments for minors, citing Justice Thomas’s concurrence
- Bluesky later claimed the suspension was due to “automated systems” flagging his account for impersonation
- The platform has become popular with liberals who fled Twitter after Elon Musk’s acquisition
- Multiple users admitted to reporting Vance’s account, revealing the partisan nature of the platform’s user base
12 Minutes of Free Speech
The irony couldn’t be more perfect. Vice President JD Vance, a staunch defender of online free speech, joined Bluesky – the supposedly “enlightened” alternative to X – only to be unceremoniously booted from the platform before he could even warm his digital seat. The suspension came a mere 12 minutes after his first post, setting what must be some kind of record for the fastest cancellation of a public figure on a major social platform.
Vance had simply announced his arrival and commented on a Supreme Court ruling regarding transgender medical treatments for minors, citing Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurrence. But apparently even discussing a legitimate Supreme Court decision is too triggering for the delicate sensibilities of Bluesky’s predominantly liberal user base, who immediately began reporting his account.
The “Impersonation” Excuse
When caught red-handed in this embarrassing display of partisan censorship, Bluesky quickly scrambled to save face with the classic “it was just an algorithm” defense. A spokesperson claimed, “Vice President Vance’s account was briefly flagged by our automated systems that try to detect impersonation attempts which have targeted public figures like him in the past. The account was quickly restored and verified so people can easily confirm its authenticity. We welcome the Vice President to join the conversation on Bluesky.”
“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.” – JD Vance.
Let’s be real – this excuse is thinner than tissue paper. If their systems were truly designed to prevent impersonation, why would they trigger only after Vance posted content that liberal users found objectionable? The timing makes it painfully obvious that this was about content, not identity verification. It’s yet another example of the transparent double standard in how conservative voices are treated on platforms that claim to support open dialogue.
Liberal Safe Space Invaded
Bluesky has marketed itself as a refuge for those who fled Twitter after Elon Musk’s acquisition brought actual free speech back to the platform. The irony here is delicious – these users abandoned a platform that now allows diverse viewpoints to flock to one that immediately suspends conservative officials. Some users were so distraught by Vance’s mere presence that they openly admitted to reporting his post as “misinformation” simply because they disagreed with it.
“Already the account has been suspended, damn that was quick.” – Marelda.
This incident perfectly encapsulates the current state of liberal-dominated social media: claim to support diversity and inclusion while systematically excluding and silencing conservative voices. If Bluesky truly wants to be a platform for “common sense political discussion,” they might want to start by allowing both sides of the political spectrum to actually speak. Until then, it remains exactly what we suspected – just another digital echo chamber where progressive groupthink goes unchallenged.
