Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

With Super Bowl sunday fast approaching, and endless NFL draft content to come in the following weeks, I decided to explore the comparative success of first round picks in the NFL draft
