Vance's first BlueSky post followed the platform mistakenly banning his account after it was flagged as a potential Vance impostor account, Fox Digital previously reported.
"We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky," the company told Fox News Digital in an email response, noting, "There have been many past attempts to impersonate Vice President JD Vance on Bluesky as he is a public figure, and the jd-vance-1.bsky.social account was flagged as part of that pattern by our automated systems, and temporarily suspended."
"The account was quickly reinstated within 20 minutes of the suspension, and we've also added a verified badge to help users confirm the authenticity of the profile," the statement added.
Vance has become the most-blocked person on Bluesky since he first joined just a week ago, according to data posted by ClearSky, which keeps tabs on social media accounts that have been blocked by fellow users. Vance's Bluesky account has been blocked by nearly 150,000 other accounts, ClearSky data reviewed by Fox Digital Wednesday afternoon showed.
In the week since Vance joined the platform, he has repeatedly trolled Democrats, including following New York City's mayoral primaries, when democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani trounced top competitor and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at the polls. Mamdani's victory is viewed as the Democrat Party moving farther to the left in New York City after national voters sounded off in the 2024 election that the party's embrace of some left-wing policies alienated Americans.

"I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question," Vance said during a press conference on June 20 when asked about Padilla, calling him by the wrong first name. "I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t a theater. And that’s all it is."

Padilla and fellow Democrats, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, criticized Vance for using the wrong first name.
"He knows my name," Padilla said Saturday during an interview on MSNBC, adding, "He's the Vice President of the United States — you'd think he'd take the situation in Los Angeles more seriously."
Vance had only posted nine messages to his Bluesky account as of Wednesday afternoon, including messages that were also posted to his far more frequently used X account.

"I wonder if other VPs had as much excitement as I do," he posted to X and Bluesky on Tuesday after Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire following the U.S. ordering strikes that destroyed a trio of Iranian nuclear facilities.

Vance added in another Bluesky message also found on his X account Tuesday, "We are seeing a foreign policy doctrine develop that will change the country (and the world) for the better: 1) clearly define an American interest; 2) negotiate aggressively to achieve that interest; 3) use overwhelming force if necessary."
