Casey NewtonThere are so many ways to break a website and by the time he is done Elon will have personally overseen all of them
Also I think Bluesky is down right now? We used to have proper social networks in this country
Jens Comiotto-Mayer@caseynewton Thanks for the heads-up, was about to check my wifi. 😂
Lisieshy's blog@caseynewton Damn, both Bluesky and Twitter down?! But where are we going to do our social networking now?!
oh
oh
Max Woolf@caseynewton given the circlejerking about Bluesky being decentralized it's v funny
Half Cocked Law@minimaxir @caseynewton it's innovating in the centralized decentralization space.
Pedro@caseynewton bluesky too?? the power users are going through it fr fr
Brad Brown@caseynewton not down, but struuuuuuugling for sure
Renee DiResta@caseynewton it is. The mass migration of people complaining about the twitter outage will maybe have to come here.
@Noupside certainly it's why i'm here right now 😆
Mike Fraser@caseynewton @Noupside The fediverse handled much bigger waves than this. That's the beauty of decentralization.

Jeffrey T. Davis@caseynewton Very slow. I keep saying: https://bsky.app/profile/jtd.bsky.social/post/3jzfjuilhsb2y
@caseynewton sorry, friends, on bsky reads: Reminder that this is the good site because it's small & closed & paying for itself 100% from investors. As it grows, it'll need to spend a LOT more on T&S and infra of all kinds or the experience will suck too. And for that it'll need revenue. Presumably ads + surveillance, but no one has said.
Some relevant qs for masto too. Please consider Post.news, I want more good stuff there. **ducks*
jessel@caseynewton yeah its not loading new posts for me anymore
@jessel
Ironic that you are coming here to complain about that shit site.

Philip Mallegol-Hansen@caseynewton Good thing you’re using one right now ;)
Scott 🇯🇲 🇺🇸@caseynewton Bluesky still appears up (for me), but the performance does seem to have degraded rather quickly and significantly for some reason.
Robbie Coleman@caseynewton I worked at MySpace in its hay day, and we were definitely not considered reliable. LOL
But we never made all public profiles locked behind a login on purpose.
Tyler Hardeman@caseynewton yeah bluesky is completely down. So.. Mastadon it is.
pat@caseynewton 10 years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash
Jungle George 🌴🌳🌲🍃
Kévin ⏚@JungleGeorge24 @caseynewton "record high traffic" so like three people logged in at the same time ?
@kc @caseynewton 😂😅 yeah I dunno what record high means in this context 🤷🏻♂️
zBeeble@caseynewton Unlikely to take down #mastedon like #twitter ... The design of the #internet is best when #redundant.
Norman@caseynewton lolol #BlueSky can't take a bunch of people merely going active. We know they are't having a massive onboarding event because they don't allow it.
Gagan Jain@caseynewton Make Social Networks Great Again!
matdevdug@caseynewton Back in my day I could read 700 maybe even 1000 posts in a day before I hit my rationed internet quota.
Ricky@caseynewton "1001 ways to break a website for Dummies" - Elon Musk
@rickyxlaw @caseynewton That’s his next “brilliant” venture. A money maker for sure!
lgtm@caseynewton the problem is people think of it as a single website, it’s just one instance now. It’s going to be more or less like mastodon when people start spinning up their own bluesky instances
@caseynewton When I was a kid, AOL chat rooms never broke down! 😆
