An independent view of the race.

This follows Bailey and dame’s community vote for the 38 most influential Bluesky posters. It is made by nate, and is not the official result. Vote on bsky38; come here to watch the race.

A single Jetstream v2 consumer replays the vote collection, then follows it live. It counts each voter’s first ten valid votes, excludes self-votes, and handles withdrawals and replacement votes. Account deletion and repository resync remove that account’s current votes. Nominee opt-outs are refreshed from bsky38.

History is shown in five-minute steps using the time votes reached the network archive, not a voter’s self-reported date. Tied totals share a place. Earlier history is a reconstruction: archive compaction can remove old vote versions, so it cannot promise an exact account of every withdrawal. Today’s opt-outs apply across this view. bsky38’s official counts are checked separately and never inserted into the historical curves.
