So, you may have heard that JD Vance is "The Most Blocked Person On Bluesky" (

JD Vance immediately becomes most-blocked person on Bluesky

JD Vance immediately becomes most-blocked person on Bluesky

He is now blocked by over 100,000 users. So with 36,800,000 users, that's a whopping 0.2% of #Bluesky users that are blocking JD Vance. Just sayin 🤷

To #Bluesky users. CEO Jay Graber has said #Bluesky is decentralized. If you don't like what the company is doing, you have the option to move your account. So, for instance, if the company welcomed and verified JD Vance, as has now happened, you could move elsewhere. Well folks, this was a lie, #Bluesky is actually a centralized platform. There is no place on Bluesky to move to. But you do have one option. Move to the Fediverse. A truly decentralized defensible public social media network.
