Bsky doing some crazy numbers today. I think by EOD GMT time, you will go past 16M. Hats off to the dev and infra team.

If it was in read only mode, how did you post that? Tricky trickster

Feature request: bring back the fail whale..

Did you leave your coffee on top of the servers again?

*hands over a beverage of choice* We can be patient.

Reboot into safe mode!

Bsky devs need a "pin skeet to top of everyone's feed" option. Also me, since I came up with it.

We need a failwhale equivalent! Something like grey cloudy skies?

There was probably a cat involved.

What cat got into the router

you would be right

did the cat knock it off the counter?

I'm betting it was either 1) A thin skinned trillionaire couldn't handle seeing "Blue Sky" trend on his platform and instituted a DOS attack. 2) The infrastructure was less than elegant handling a sudden, massive influx of new users. 1 is possible, but most likely is was 2.

that's okay there are many marvelous posts from friends already!

unfortunately even after updating that DNS reg it's still showing invalid.

Oh oh, coffee landed on the keyboard? 😄

Everyday heroes

Thought so. 👍

😬

Hey Sam, I'm doing an assessment for my degree and I wanted to ask a question that would be a big help. Is read-only mode Bluesky's minimum service continuity objective? I'm writing about this outage for one of the questions and this would help me answer how well the response lines up with ITIL!

Keep going guys. #dumptheoldbird!

Good morning. I have not been able to log into the app ever. Keyboard quickly pops up and disappears. Help! I'm on a Samsung.

But I'm on wireless... Aarrrrrgggghhh... *Thud*

Samuel - hey, I'm new to Blue Sky. Would love to see more new, small accounts that might actually interact with me on my Discover feed. Anyway to make that happen?

Ok, you've won my heart, Bluesky.

(quietly hacks Cray and dispatches a supercomputer)

Been very glitchy all evening, TBH!

Thanks for the info Sam

😮

It's so nice you guys communicate with us, thank you!

Don't you hate it when something falls over?

It’s ok. We get it. You’ve been hit with a LOT of new people at once. We are willing to be patient. 🫶

Appreciate it! I know it’s stressful, but y’all are amazing, ty!

I get load balancing you’re doing great work with loads you can’t test for. Respect

We shouldn't all have to follow developers to know about this stuff. There should be notices from an official account. Please. Users will be less perturbed if there's comms.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks Samuel. I'm guessing the servers are straining to cope with the massive influx of new members and traffic. I'm loving it here so far, keep up the good work.

💕

Keeping things real, I see! 👏
