Barack Obama joins Bluesky
Tech Crunch ^ | 3/23/25 | Sarah Perez

Posted on 03/23/2025 1:59:31 PM PDT by Libloather

Social network Bluesky, an alternative to X built on open source technologies, has scored a big win in terms of attracting notable users to its platform. The company on Sunday confirmed that former president Barack Obama has joined its service.

Bluesky OOO Rose Wang replied to a post where someone wondered if the account posting as Obama was legitimately him by writing “Confirmed!”

In his first few posts on the platform, Obama celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), calling it “a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.”

The former president maintains a large following on other social media platforms, including X and Facebook, where he has 130.6 million followers and 55 million followers, respectively.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

However, Elon Musk’s X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has lost a number of users to alternative social networks, including Bluesky, after the 2024 U.S. elections. Musk used X to campaign for President Trump and promote MAGA-aligned political views. He also now holds a prominent position in Trump’s circle thanks to his involvement with DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which has been working to reduce the federal government workforce, cut spending, and dismantle government agencies.

"Bluesky = Libtard echo chamber"

It's hilarious. Knock two 0's off their views vs Twitter/X.

Now think about this. The FBI running Twitter in 2020 permitted the Deep State to run the first installment of a USSA Soviet-style aged, decrepit "Premier". Musk knew it, he bought Twitter at a loss from his friend Jack Dorsey (who should be prosecuted and exiled), and had supreme control over the 2024 Narrative. "I am become meme" -- Musk. lol

2020 must never happen again.

If we commit ourselves right now to increasing mid-terms seats in both houses since Shrub's 2002, we can put the Democrats out of their misery for a generation -- no greater gift to our children.
