President Trump's White House is already the second most-blocked account on Bluesky, just days after joining the platform. The only account ahead of it? It belongs to Vice President JD Vance.

The Trump White House joined Bluesky in October 2025, quickly becoming the platform’s second most-blocked account with over 92,000 blocks, trailing only Vice President JD Vance who has accumulated 166,000 blocks since June[1].

The White House’s debut post featured a 52-second video montage of President Trump’s “greatest hits” since returning to office, including clips mocking political opponents[2]. The administration’s arrival on Bluesky was particularly notable as the platform had become a haven for Trump critics and left-leaning users who fled X (formerly Twitter) after the 2024 election[2:1].

For comparison, Bluesky’s most followed accounts paint a different picture of the platform’s user base:

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 2.17 million followers
  • Mark Cuban: 1.49 million followers
  • Mark Hamill: 1.31 million followers[1:1]

    I’m curious whose palms are being greased to support the next proprietary platform over federated alternatives.

    Of course, the useful idiots are being herded like the sheep they are.

      pointless; bluesky has shown where their allegiances lie when they shadow banned anti-genocide accounts and then claimed that they were “investigating it” but never changed their behavior.

      Hi, No Kings protest organizer here. The point isn’t to change Trump’s direction, the point is basically a massive recruiting event for our local DSA and PSL chapters. Libs show up who are mad at Democrats and hear from leftist speakers and talk to leftist tabling orgs. Also there is mutual aid groups and such there.

      Otherwise yeah totally not going to change Trump’s direction. But far from useless

        weird… i went to one and saw none of that… i saw a lot of performative demonstrating with signs about cheeto king and blue waves. I saw a handful of Free Palestine signs and some flags. I didn’t see anyone with anything from the PSL or DSA. Maybe I missed it, it was a couple thousand people probably, but if they were there they were not prominent.

          To be fair, 50501 chapters can vary a lot city to city. I’m in a red city but our organizers are very left so we use the platform to push leftism. It isn’t like that everywhere though. Also we did a rally with speakers and tables, some places are just people holding signs with no agenda. It’s a grassroots thing so depends a lot who decided to organize it in your area.

            trying to do something like this in phoenix & new york during the bush jr era (as greens) and then again with trump 1.0 era in san francisco & austin (as psl) was mind blowing for me in how different each city is.

            our stall was vandalized and one of us got sucker punched in san francisco; we got verbally threatened by a few wackos in new york; people were entirely uninterested in phoenix; and they clearly intentionally ignored us in austin.

            and now being welcomed in chicago for trump 2.0 has taught me that american liberals are have a wide spectrum of hostility towards 3rd party proselytizers in democrat-dominated demonstrations/marches.
