It\u2019s a sad weekend over at Bluesky, where one of the best accounts has disappeared<\/a> \u2014 although we can still hope for its resurrection.<\/p>\n Known as The Louvre of Bluesky, the account in question struck fear into the hearts of bad posters everywhere. While it posted commentary and jokes of its own, its most brutally funny and haunting work came in the form of screenshots capturing rogue Bluesky posts in all their unhinged glory.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to write a proper appreciation now that the Louvre has vanished, and it\u2019s truly impossible to create a full taxonomy of the all varieties of poster\u2019s disease<\/a> it managed to capture in the wild. Perhaps the defining characteristic of posts memorialized in the Louvre of Bluesky \u2014 beyond the simple failure to get a joke \u2014 was a scolding tone, along with a sense of absolute outrage that someone, somewhere might be having fun on the internet.<\/p>\n Maybe I\u2019m projecting too much onto a screenshot-filled anonymous social media account, but to me, it always felt like the exact opposite of the tedious, ad nauseum complaints<\/a> that Bluesky is a liberal echo chamber. This wasn\u2019t someone who\u2019d spent a few minutes on the site just to confirm their suspicions and write the umpteenth version of the same op-ed. Whether they loved Bluesky or hated it, whoever operated the account clearly knew the site\u2019s darkest corners; they understood what absolute weirdos its users could be.<\/p>\n The account also felt, at times, like a warning \u2014 that any of us, in a moment of weakness, could post something clueless or cringe. Just knowing the Louvre of Bluesky was out there was enough to scare me<\/a> (not often enough, I\u2019m sure) into deleting a couple of dumb or obvious replies.<\/p>\n So where has the Louvre of Bluesky gone? In a post on Patreon<\/a>, the account\u2019s author said it would be taken down \u201ctemporarily\u201d due to \u201ca loser and a coward\u201d emailing their bosses and their wife\u2019s bosses. They added that they\u2019re \u201cnot sure if the account will stay closed.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not much to go on. I can only\u00a0hope that like the real museum<\/a>, the Louvre of Bluesky will be able to reopen soon. But even if it doesn\u2019t, its spirit will continue haunting all of us who remember we\u2019re just a few keystrokes away from being immortalized for a bad post.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-05-at-4.06.28PM.png?w=680\")
