Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.

Pretty sure he did that on purpose so he can tell the public how awful and disgusting he thinks Bluesky is in the future.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 110 points 2 weeks ago

BIG PHARMA MAKIN THE KIDS CUT THEY DICKS OFF

god republicans are stupid. So fucking stupid.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Remember, the likes of Vance aren't stupid, they know the shit they say isn't real but it riles their base up and creates enough anger that their base will ignore all the shit the republicans get up to.

I always hated when I went to the school nurse for a bruised knee and got estrogen instead of having the bruise disinfected

Do you think JD understands the irony that posting an exerpt from Justice Thomas that is against appealing to the authority of "experts", is, in itself, in fact appealing to the authority of an "expert", Justice Thomas, to support his stance? His stance of course being that medical treatment of minors with gender dysphoria in a way that does anything but reinforce the gender on their birth certificate is bad medicine/science. And both Vance and Justice Thomas also, being... I see here "not experts in anything remotely to do with medical science, gender dysphoria, adolescent development, or any field at all that would inform any semblance of a valid opinion on the matter of how to properly treat these kids medically" might, in fact, make their stance a little bit non-authoritative. Maybe both of them should stay in their lanes of bad faith partisan political theatre, bribery, and forcing the sprint we are all on towards fascism. That seems to be where their real skill sets are.

Do you think JD understands

I'mma stop you right there and say no

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

it's not even factually accurate since the majority of medical organizations agree there's no harm in transitioning.

"a screenshot from clearsky showing jd vance's account as the most blocked in 24 hours on bluesky"

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".

I wonder if he was mass reported and temporarily automod banned

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 weeks ago

i assume that or they banned him before they confirmed it was him

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 57 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

He could join one of the Nazi mastodon instances, although I bet he is already on his boss’.

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I heard somewhere truthsocial is a fork of mastodon but has no federation built in

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 48 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Both Truth and Gab are running on mastodon, yes. Truth doesn't federate, Gab was retaliatory blocked across the fediverse

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

even stupider, i believe it's a horrible out of date fork of mastodon that's insecure as fuck

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

insecure as fuck

then its only a matter of time before they get done to them what those trans hackers did to Andrew Tates social media a few months ago. I think they were trans, idk all I remember about the attack is that they flooded all the chatrooms on it with trans flag emojis and leaked all the user data

He should join one of the tankie Lemmy instances for a real choice treatment. That would be fun for to watch for 5 minutes

Is Justice Thomas a doctor or a scientist? No?

Then who gives a shit what his opinion is. He should be listening to the experts...not contradicting them. If his ruling is based solely on his personal feelings on this topic, then he needs to recuse himself from this case.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This looks like some good sealioning. He probably didn’t write it himself. I think he was playing to his fans and trying to discredit Bluesky and its community guidelines. I wonder if Musk paid him, or if he did this on his own.

The account is back. I reported it for misinformation and lying.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 26 points 2 weeks ago

Remember when Twitter - even before leon bought it - decided Trump was too important to ban, even tho he was violating the shit out of their TOS...

Does the PBC that owns BlueSky have an official stance on whether political officials can be "too big to ban?"

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

What a pos. nobody is "pushing" these medicines on kids. it's ultimately the kid's decision about whether they want these medications or not and I'm not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.

Happy Pride Month ❤️

He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Apparently, they reinstated it saying they just wanted to confirm it was really him before fully activating it.

Corpos will never let you down. Only throw you there.

Isn't Truth Social available for people like him?

young

want to have long hair

such a thing is not allowed because i cannot consent to it

also my opinion is probably bought by big shampoo

Talking about the highlighted part of Thomas's statement. They're enshrining anti-intellectualism into court rulings

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".

I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.

His first posts didn't get him banned.

Make a new account, immediately start spewing unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, get banned

I gotta say, I am liking blue sky so far

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago

And this is the point where he playbooks "i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc"

Which only works when people let it. A swift "you started ranting crazy bullshit" is what is needed here.
