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.
