https://explorer.ooni.org/findings/287571208700

As of 11th April 2026, OONI data shows that access to @bsky.app is blocked on multiple networks in #Russia.

On some networks, the block is implemented by means of DNS tampering and automatically confirmed. On most networks, the block is implemented by means of TLS interference.

This follows the blocking of Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and many other platforms.

@ooni If only there was some kind of decentralization that would make stuff like this harder to do. I guess there's no realistic way to implement it though :/

@ooni well they've still got those other appviews to play around with don't they?

BlueSky is being blocked by Roskomnadzor, but also by an ‘Unspecified state body’ (in reality, the Prosecutor General’s Office). Most likely, the social network contained both ‘LGBT content,’ posts about bypassing restrictions, and information considered ‘extremist’ in Russia.

Роскомнадзор заблокировал Bluesky: https://blockedin.org/ru/record/7798398/ https://blockedin.org/ru/record/7699419/ В чём провинился децентрализованный сервис микроблогов, пока неизвестно. UPD: не только РКН.
