What this bluesky blocklist viewer shows

Every bluesky blocklist opened read-only — nothing more, nothing less.

Any public bluesky blocklist

Paste the list's bsky.app URL or its at:// AT URI and the viewer loads that exact public moderation list — the name, description, purpose and every account on it.

Find lists by creator

Type a handle instead and the tool lists every public moderation list that account has created, so you can open a bluesky blocklist without knowing its URL.

Every listed account

Members load with avatar, display name, handle and bio, 50 per page with cursor pagination — a 627-member bluesky blocklist simply takes seven pages, one Load-more click each.

Purpose clearly labeled

Bluesky lists have three purposes — modlist, curatelist and referencelist. Only true modlists appear here, and every result is labeled, so a follow list is never mistaken for a bluesky blocklist.

Live public data

Results come straight from the public app.bsky.graph endpoints and are cached for 300 seconds — the bluesky blocklist you see matches what the network publicly shows right now.

Neutral by design

The viewer never claims listed accounts are malicious and never advises blocking anyone. A bluesky blocklist page here reports what the list contains — judgement stays with its creator.

How to open a bluesky blocklist in 3 steps

From link to full member list in seconds.

  1. 1

    Paste the list link or a creator

    Drop in a bsky.app list URL, an at:// AT URI, or switch to the creator tab and type a handle to discover their public bluesky blocklist collection.

  2. 2

    Press View blocklist

    The tool resolves any handle in the URL to its DID, calls the public graph endpoints and renders the list header plus its first page of members.

  3. 3

    Browse and verify

    Scroll the listed accounts, load more pages with the cursor button, and open any account or the bluesky blocklist itself on bsky.app to check the source.

What is a bluesky blocklist?

A bluesky blocklist is Bluesky's name for a public moderation list: a list of accounts created by one user that other users can subscribe to for bulk muting or blocking in the official apps. On the network itself the object is a record in the app.bsky.graph.list collection with the purpose modlist — and because it is a public record, any bluesky blocklist can be read by anyone, no account required, which is exactly what this viewer does.

Subscribing to a bluesky blocklist in the official app applies its members to your mute or block filters at once — that is why these lists are commonly shared as links in bios and posts. This page is the reading half of that: it opens any public moderation list and shows what is on it, without logging in and without applying anything to your own account.

Blocklists, mute lists and the three purposes

Bluesky lists come in exactly three purposes: modlist (moderation — what people call a blocklist or mute list), curatelist (follow recommendations) and referencelist (plain grouping). The distinction matters because only modlists affect moderation filters. This bluesky blocklist viewer filters on the purpose field itself, so a curated follow list is never presented as a blocklist — and when you browse by creator, curatelists simply do not appear.

How the bluesky blocklist viewer works

Under the hood the page calls the same public endpoints the official apps use. Finding a creator's lists is app.bsky.graph.getLists with purposes set to modlist; loading one list is app.bsky.graph.getList with its AT URI. Each bluesky blocklist response carries the list's name, description, creator, indexed date, total member count and a page of members with full profile cards.

List links come in two shapes and both work: the human URL https://bsky.app/profile/handle/lists/rkey and the raw at://did:plc:…/app.bsky.graph.list/rkey. If you paste the human form, the viewer resolves the handle to its DID first, because the public API only accepts DID-based AT URIs for list lookups. Responses are cached for 300 seconds, so re-opening the same bluesky blocklist stays fast without hammering the shared API.

Pagination and member counts

getList pages through members with a cursor — 50 accounts per page on this site, up to 100 per request at the API level. The list header shows the network's own member count, which can exceed what is loaded on screen; the Load-more button walks the cursor until every member of the bluesky blocklist has been rendered. Counts change as creators add and remove accounts, so treat the number as a live snapshot, not a fixed total.

Is any bluesky blocklist an official judgment?

No — and this page is careful never to imply it. Every bluesky blocklist on Bluesky is created by an individual user; Bluesky Social PBC does not review, verify or endorse them, and neither does this viewer. A listed account has not necessarily broken any rule, and appearing on a large list is not evidence of anything. The neutral note under each result states this explicitly: the tool displays public data and does not back the creator's judgment.

If you subscribe to a bluesky blocklist in the official app (Settings → Moderation → Manage moderation lists), you are choosing to let one person's list drive your filters. Reading it first — here, anonymously — is a reasonable step before that choice. You can also open any listed account's profile to judge it yourself; every member card links to the source.

Why some lists are private and others are not

Bluesky keeps two kinds of blocking data strictly private: your personal blocks and your personal mutes are stored on your own account and are not readable through any public endpoint — no viewer, including this one, can see them. A bluesky blocklist is different: a list record is a public object by construction, which is precisely what makes shareable moderation possible on an open protocol. If a list looks empty or missing, it either does not exist, was deleted by its creator, or the link points at something other than a public modlist.

That public/private line also explains what this tool will never show: it cannot read who blocked whom, who muted whom, or any account's private lists. It reads exactly one class of object — the public bluesky blocklist — and leaves everything else alone.

Privacy, sourcing and fair use

Every request this bluesky blocklist viewer makes goes to public Bluesky infrastructure, anonymously, with no session and no account. Queries are not stored, no list of the blocklists you opened is kept, and URLs carrying your input are marked noindex so your lookups never surface in search engines.

If you write about a moderation list, cite it like any source: link the live list on bsky.app (every bluesky blocklist header here has that link), name the creator, and date the check — member counts and rosters change as creators edit them. Publishing a screenshot of a bluesky blocklist page is publishing someone else's editorial choice, so attribute it rather than presenting it as fact.
