One more feature people loved about ClearSky is now on Skylens. You could already see which blocklists you're on. Now you can also see who subscribed to those lists. Everyone who subscribes to a list blocks all of its members, often without even knowing who is or will be on it. skylens.redflag.ps

I'd really want to know what rickubus.bsky.social did to deserve the only block of the Bluesky account.

Skylens is a free tool for looking up any Bluesky account. skylens.redflag.ps It started as a block checker and ClearSky alternative. The public Bluesky APIs reveal a lot more than blocks, though. This thread walks through what you can see, using the account of JD Vance as the example.

Skylens needs no login and sets no cookies. Your search stays in the part of the address after the # and never reaches the server. Only labelers that block requests from a browser are queried through the server, without logging.

If you are interested in statistics on your own account, on other accounts or on Bluesky and the AT Protocol in general, give it a try. skylens.redflag.ps The site is available in English and German.

Servers ranks all 6,400 servers (PDS) by number of accounts. About 620,000 accounts live outside Bluesky’s own servers. Lists ranks the biggest moderation lists. At the top is “us gov” with 114,000 block subscribers.

There is also a directory of all 415 labelers and the 1,000 most liked of 64,000 feeds, both searchable.

Beyond single accounts there are rankings for the whole network. They show the most blocked accounts and the most active blockers, for the last 24 hours and of all time. For the all-time lists Skylens counted all 208 million blocks on Bluesky once.

The Network page shows how active Bluesky is. About 2,200 posts go out every minute, almost half of them replies. Around 63,000 new identities appear on Bluesky each day. A spam script adds another 245,000 per day, all pointing to a server that does not exist.

Ten more labels sit on individual posts. A click on a category jumps to the posts in question and shows the start of each post. XBlock, for example, flags three of his posts as possible Twitter screenshots.

The verification tab shows who issued the blue check. For JD Vance it was Bluesky itself, in June 2025. The identity tab shows the history of handle and server from the PLC directory, so renames and moves between servers become visible.

“Blocked by” lists every account that blocks him, newest first, with the date of the block. “On lists” shows every list he has been added to, curated or moderation list, and how many people subscribe to each moderation list as a block.

Labels come from labelers, and each labeler keeps its own. Skylens asks every reachable labeler, around 240 of them. JD Vance’s account carries 16 labels, among them Racism and Transphobia from Northsky Moderation and MAGA from Skywatch.

Blocks on Bluesky are public. Every block is a record in the repository of the account that blocks. Lists and labels work the same way. Only mutes are private. Skylens reads this data live, for your own account or for any other.
