Decentralised social media site Bluesky has gone down under the load of new users.

Not to worry, I'll just use one of the other decentralised instances. One of the many wonders of decentralisation.

... What do you mean, there aren't any?

... If a central server goes down, I can't get onto this oh-so-decentralised network?

I guess this must just be how decentralisation works!

@tomw I wonder how intrinsic that centralization is or if that's just something on their roadmap to fix
@vitriolix They have been promising to fix it real soon now since day one. But all of their incentives point the other way
@tomw For sure, hopefully community pressure can mount
