Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.

So, here we are. The VP of the supposedly most powerful nation can't even integrate with humans.

"a screenshot from clearsky showing jd vance's account as the most blocked in 24 hours on bluesky"

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".

James Donald Bowman is a disgrace, a pox on humanity.

And I will use the name he hates against him in every thread I can.

"hello fellow humans, im trying to communicate with humanity"- JD vance.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 hours ago

Isn't Truth Social available for people like him?

Do you think JD understands the irony that posting an exerpt from Justice Thomas that is against appealing to the authority of "experts", is, in itself, in fact appealing to the authority of an "expert", Justice Thomas, to support his stance? His stance of course being that medical treatment of minors with gender dysphoria in a way that does anything but reinforce the gender on their birth certificate is bad medicine/science. And both Vance and Justice Thomas also, being... I see here "not experts in anything remotely to do with medical science, gender dysphoria, adolescent development, or any field at all that would inform any semblance of a valid opinion on the matter of how to properly treat these kids medically" might, in fact, make their stance a little bit non-authoritative. Maybe both of them should stay in their lanes of bad faith partisan political theatre, bribery, and forcing the sprint we are all on towards fascism. That seems to be where their real skill sets are.

it's not even factually accurate since the majority of medical organizations agree there's no harm in transitioning.

Do you think JD understands

I'mma stop you right there and say no

[–] zout@fedia.io 4 points 5 hours ago

Vance is somewhat of an expert on gender and sexuality though, being the cough fucker he is...

BIG PHARMA MAKIN THE KIDS CUT THEY DICKS OFF

god republicans are stupid. So fucking stupid.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 42 minutes ago

But big religion doing it is OK, it’s just the tip.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Remember, the likes of Vance aren't stupid, they know the shit they say isn't real but it riles their base up and creates enough anger that their base will ignore all the shit the republicans get up to.

I always hated when I went to the school nurse for a bruised knee and got estrogen instead of having the bruise disinfected

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

The hormones used are basically all generics too

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 137 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Pretty sure he did that on purpose so he can tell the public how awful and disgusting he thinks Bluesky is in the future.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 77 points 11 hours ago

Oh absolutely. He's a slimy little fuckstain.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Nah. This seems a transparent attempt to gather political good will. The Nazis have whipped our ass with their social-media ground game. This is simply another tentacle.

[–] hr_@lemmy.world 2 points 55 minutes ago

Por que no los dos? There's no downside for him, either he can spread his hate there and win or he gets banned and screams and whines and wins

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

This isn't how you start for good will.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 30 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

This looks like some good sealioning. He probably didn’t write it himself. I think he was playing to his fans and trying to discredit Bluesky and its community guidelines. I wonder if Musk paid him, or if he did this on his own.

[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

sealioning

Damn, didn't even touch my coffee and already learning something today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

Did... Did the word get invented because of a meme that has nothing to do with sea lions? Language is amazing.

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 31 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The account is back. I reported it for misinformation and lying.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 24 points 9 hours ago

Remember when Twitter - even before leon bought it - decided Trump was too important to ban, even tho he was violating the shit out of their TOS...

Does the PBC that owns BlueSky have an official stance on whether political officials can be "too big to ban?"

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 49 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 25 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if he was mass reported and temporarily automod banned

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 18 points 10 hours ago

i assume that or they banned him before they confirmed it was him

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 51 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

He could join one of the Nazi mastodon instances, although I bet he is already on his boss’.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, why go there when X is already the nazi twitter.

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 hours ago

That’s exactly why it was doomed to failure the moment Elon was forced to complete his purchase of Twitter.

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I heard somewhere truthsocial is a fork of mastodon but has no federation built in

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 38 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Both Truth and Gab are running on mastodon, yes. Truth doesn't federate, Gab was retaliatory blocked across the fediverse

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 23 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

even stupider, i believe it's a horrible out of date fork of mastodon that's insecure as fuck

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

insecure as fuck

then its only a matter of time before they get done to them what those trans hackers did to Andrew Tates social media a few months ago. I think they were trans, idk all I remember about the attack is that they flooded all the chatrooms on it with trans flag emojis and leaked all the user data

ah great now mastodon is gonna get banned like tiktok

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Insecure? You mean about the tiny hands? Remember that?

GUYS! I'M BRINGING BACK THE CLASSICS!

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

You're likely thinking of Mastodon.social, where they call any opposition to genocide & war antisemitic & ban you.

He should join one of the tankie Lemmy instances for a real choice treatment. That would be fun for to watch for 5 minutes

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'd pay so much money to see JD get 1v1000 dogpiled by tankies on any topic. It might be one of the few times i'd be on their side.

[–] greenbit@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

They'd just split. There are trans rights deniers there, like that one admin/dev. Some are closer to MAGA than Marx in their allegiances.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 hours ago

What we would give for that

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 35 points 11 hours ago

Is Justice Thomas a doctor or a scientist? No?

Then who gives a shit what his opinion is. He should be listening to the experts...not contradicting them. If his ruling is based solely on his personal feelings on this topic, then he needs to recuse himself from this case.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 14 points 10 hours ago

Talking about the highlighted part of Thomas's statement. They're enshrining anti-intellectualism into court rulings

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

"Bad arguments and substandard science" - AKA, this administration's unofficial motto.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Every accusation is an admission.

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

I'm already seeing reminders on bluesky to JUST block and ignore them. The right wingers who tried invading Bluesky earlier got bored and left cause they all got blocked.

[–] dumbass@quokk.au 5 points 10 hours ago

Hahah I'm enjoy the image of him trying to sign up and finding out his names already taken, having to add underscores and finally attempting it with a number as well.
