BlueSky Location Mocking User Script

README.md

Warning

This may potentially violate BlueSky's ToS, or even local laws. As such it's probably best that you just don't use BlueSky for DMs until someone invents a time machine. If you decide to use this anyway, I'm certainly not responsible. I just did this for the funsies!

This ViolentMonkey user script intercepts the fetch request to https://bsky.app/ipcc which, if you're in the UK, has a response like this:

{"countryCode":"GB","isAgeRestrictedGeo":true}

All we actually need to do is set isAgeRestrictedGeo to false, but you might as well move countries while you're at it.

edit: they also added https://ip.bsky.app/config which looks like this if you're in the UK

{
  "countryCode": "GB",
  "regionCode": "ENG",
  "ageRestrictedGeos": [
    {
      "countryCode": "GB",
      "regionCode": null
    }
  ],
  "ageBlockedGeos": [
    {
      "countryCode": "US",
      "regionCode": "MS"
    }
  ],
  "isAgeRestrictedGeo": true
}

which similarly only needs small tweaks, however for simplicity we're pretending we're in sweden
