Looks interesting, but trending social only shows X which will lean conservative. Obviously Bluesky/Reddit will lean left but it should presumably show all bias influences? I don't think Truth Social should be included as its such a niche.

Generally looks like a potentially excellent resource for marketing to media platforms.

Edit: I found a Bluesky one but had to scroll down a lot. If that's to do with relative lack of activity it should probably be clearly explained.

Thanks for the feedback! We mainly include Truth social since Trump and a few of his closest administration are active on there and a large goal of Govbase is to follow the story from Trump posting about tariffs, the news reacting, the EO happening, etc.

I would love to include more Bluesky posts, besides it seeming more balanced - it's also free data compared to X. However, most political social posts happen on X. Even AOC, who is the most followed account on Bluesky still I think is more active on X than Bluesky.

Sad news is that bluesky is on a decline while truth social is increasing.

I wonder what will happen to trans kids in the coming years. Trans people shape the soul of the country (since the last 3 years)
