The White House Is Already the 2nd-Most Blocked Account on BlueSky — After JD Vance (www.mediaite.com)

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].

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]

I didn't feel a single iota of rage or horror that they were on Bluesky. I didn't notice. My social media remains blissfully maga free. Thank you, block lists.
