Move over, Elon’s chaotic X – there’s a new social media sheriff in town, and it’s bringing presidential swagger!

Former President Barack Obama has officially joined Bluesky, the open-source social network that’s been low-key stealing users from the dumpster fire formerly known as Twitter. In his debut posts, Obama isn’t just logging in – he’s celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act with his signature blend of hope and progressive passion.

A Digital Exodus from X

Let’s be real: since the 2024 elections, X has become about as welcoming to left-leaning users as a MAGA rally in Berkeley. With Elon Musk’s platform turning into a political thunderdome, progressive users and politicians have been searching for a digital safe space. Enter Bluesky, the platform that’s quickly becoming the cool kids’ table of social media.

Star-Studded Progressive Network

Obama’s not alone in this digital migration. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other political rockstars have already made Bluesky their new political playground. In fact, AOC is living her best life as the first user to hit a million followers – talk about a power move!

The Numbers Don’t Lie

With over 33 million users and growing, Bluesky is proving that people are hungry for a social media platform that doesn’t feel like a conspiracy theory message board. Obama’s arrival is basically the digital equivalent of a mic drop, signaling that this platform is ready for prime time.

Farewell, toxic Twitter. Hello, Bluesky – where progressive politics and clean design finally get to coexist!
