🏷️ labelmuster
Enter a Bluesky account, scan it against every labeler in the open directory of moderation services — self-applied flags and every third-party labeler's calls alike — pick one from the dropdown, and muster everyone in its follows/followers who carries the same one. Built for finding your faction so you can actually start that group chat.
Accepts a handle, a bsky.app/profile/... link, or a raw did:.
Labels come off the public AppView's app.bsky.actor.getProfile
— a self-applied label (the same mechanism as an account's own
"bot" flag or a fandom/pride flag from a labeler policy someone
opted into) shows the same on every account that set it; a
moderation label was placed by a third-party labeling service
instead, and the AppView only shows those when a request explicitly
names the labeler. A plain profile fetch only names the default one
(Bluesky's own moderation service), so scanning an account here also
asks on behalf of every labeler in
mackuba.eu's
label-scanner directory, in batches, and merges whatever comes
back. Still, atproto has no network-wide index of "every account
with label X" — Constellation and Cerulea both index at://
reference links, not scalar profile fields, and a labeler only
answers "what labels does this one subject have," not "which
subjects have this label." So mustering searches the one pool that's
actually enumerable without crawling the whole network: the scanned
account's own follows + followers. There's no API to create a
Bluesky group chat from a link either — "copy handles" gives you the
roster to paste into one yourself.
