White House joins Bluesky and immediately trolls Trump opponents
The White House has joined Bluesky, the social media platform of choice of many in the left-leaning online world. In its inaugural post, the White House account offered a sizzle reel of the administration’s memes, trolls and messages from President Donald Trump’s nine months since returning to office. Disgruntled X users began flocking to Bluesky after billionaire Elon Musk took over Twitter (now known as X) in 2022, and the platform reported a surge in new users late last year. It remains small compared to more established online spaces such as X, but it has emerged as an alternative for those looking for a different mood.
