President Donald 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 on the block list? It belongs to Vice President JD Vance.

That means at this rate, the White House will leapfrog the vice president for the infamous, or venerable, depending on who you ask, position of being the most-blocked account on Bluesky.
The platform has become a go-to social media safe space for liberals who did not want to use X, the platform owned by Elon Musk, following the 2024 election.

“What’s up, Bluesky? We thought you might’ve missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you,” the White House shared in its debut Bluesky post.
The post included a 52 second video of some of President Trump’s “greatest hits” since returning to office in January, including framing a picture of ex-President Joe Biden’s autopen and, of course, putting a digital sombrero on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
