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.

Honestly just let people have their own opinion as long as they don't really fight. Remember that your opinions were suppressed in the past and that now you're basically becoming exactly what the governments were at the time.

On the matter of access to such medication for kids, hell no. Everyone knows kids aren't mature adults and they make stupid decisions. Some may try it because of curiosity, lack of knowledge or even as an act of rebellion against parents/guardians. And that will result at least in loss of fertility. Where did the "adults should protect children" go? Are we only protecting them from predators now? Then might as well let them drink alcohol and buy antipsychotics without prescription.

Btw a mandatory medical examination and a lecture from the doctor about the risks would be nice before making such a decision. Privacy concerns are there but physical safety first imo.

All of the above is obviously my personal opinions.

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 1 week ago

Oh absolutely. He's a slimy little fuckstain.

BIG PHARMA MAKIN THE KIDS CUT THEY DICKS OFF

god republicans are stupid. So fucking stupid.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week 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.

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 1 week 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

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

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 57 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

What we would give for that

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 1 week ago (6 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

Imagine thinking that one Clarence Thomas is less corrupt than thousands of doctors.

James Donald Bowman is a disgrace, a pox on humanity.

And I will use the name he hates against him in every thread I can.

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?

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago

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

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

His first posts didn't get him banned.
