    Total non story. While I hate JD and think he shouldn’t be allowed to spread his hate. He was suspended until they could verify it was actually him; then it was unblocked.

    “The ban was brief, as the vice president’s account was reinstated just minutes later,” the report says. “It does not appear that the vice president’s post ran afoul of any of Bluesky’s community guidelines.”

        Being spineless is requisite for being a Nazi

        As is being an opportunistic asshole.

        He chose to be a Nazi. Literally called trump “americas Hitler”.

        He’s a Nazi. All republicans are now nazis.

        Concentration camps is a Nazi thing

        Secret police is a Nazi thing

        Hitler is a Nazi thing.

        All those people are Nazis.

        I’m not joking around. This is serious as it gets.

      Yeah it’s inescapable really. Many people probably are more up to date with American politics than those of their own country.

        To be fair, I remember this EXACT same conversation on reddit in 2010. Back when republicans were bashing Obama for being Obama, and Obama responded by wearing a suit in a mustard color brown that conservatives LOST THEIR SHIT OVER on twitter.

        I thought the suit looked spiffy!

        And now, nothing has changed. Replace one politician with another, manufacture more outrage over stories that don’t pertain to the rest of the world, and we all learn nothing.

        And pretty soon, we won’t NEED to learn anything! With the AI takeover at large, soon humanity will be nothing more than an easily controlled and manipulated mob, with no critical thinking skills to speak of, and all their thinking will be handled by the corporations with the sole purpose to create unregulated profits and nothing more.

        What could possibly go wrong?

      It becomes very fatiguing. Especially when the same article is posted in several places.

      To make things worse, it’s a trash article. It’s literally just quoting another article. So it’s bot scraped, bot written, title generated with zing and spooned to idiot cohorts on places like this, simply to garner traffic.

      There are a lot of simple users on Lemmy, though they’d hate to admit it. But we have this post in this community with those comments, soooo… GG, big brains 👍

      Hey! Whoa! Our government is NOT a soap opera!

      Soap operas are entertaining, and have lots of revealing love affairs. Nobody is sleeping with J.D. Vance.

      I mean, ew. It’s J.D Vance! Do YOU want to sleep with J.D Vance? No? Yeah, exactly. Not a soap opera!

      Why? He was suspended minutes after posting.

      Then he was unsuspended. The first suspension still happened.

        You don’t think that the omission of the very relevant followup fact from the title is misleading, perhaps intentionally so, to someone only glancing at headlines?

        Imagine if the police were looking for your neighbor, mistook your house for theirs, arrested you thinking you were them, then minutes later released you when they realized their error. Would an article titled ‘TachyonTele arrested in own home’ be a fair summary of those events?

          People really need to understand that headlines are not the entire article. I’m curious how and when that disconnect happened.

          RE: your edit.
          Articles have a summary for a reason. Then they have details.

            Simply adding one word would have made the title much less misleading.

            ‘JD Vance gets briefly suspended from bluesky ‘just 12 minutes after first post’’

            As it stands, it strongly implies that his first post caused him to get suspended, and that he’s still suspended now. I’m not even sure why this is considered newsworthy. Why did someone even bother writing this article? Answer is, I’d wager, because the headline makes it sound sensational when it’s in fact not, and it drives clicks.

              I recommend going into journalism and being the change you want to see.

              Nothing you say here will change anything you’re nitpicking to death.
              It’s simply not that serious.

        It was an automated system to prevent impersonation accounts which the actual news article this was based off of mentioned.

    OP’s link is just an incomplete summary of the real article

    That source post has this Bluesky quote:

    Vice President Vance’s account was briefly flagged by our automated systems that try to detect impersonation attempts which have targeted public figures like him in the past. The account was quickly restored and verified

    Also, that it would have been heavily flagged by users was probably part of it.
