Bluesky has experienced an explosion in users and traffic, with upwards a of million accounts being created per day. Lots of journalists, researchers, and OSINTers have joined or stepped up their posting. (This is my account.)

Here’s a rundown of tools and Starter Packs that will help you get the most of Bluesky.

OSINT Starter Packs

Starter Packs are user-created lists of accounts that you can follow with a single click. Here are five Starter Packs filled with accounts that talk about OSINT, geolocation, flight tracking, etc.:

  1. OSINT and visual investigations, by Alison Killing

  2. OSINT, by OSINT-Research

  3. OSINT/Flight Trackers, by Evergreen Intel

  4. OSINT Ship Enthusiasts, by Intel Night OWL

  5. Bellingcat staff and contributors (past & present), by Bellingcat
