Bluesky is a proprietary service operated by a single company, but with an unusually good "API" for plug-in 3rdparty tools. As with other sites that previously had "API"s, that API remains valid only as long as—and only in the ways which—the parent company feels like them being allowed to work. https://oldfriends.live/@paul/113541079428044213
If you read the bluesky developer documentation, you'll find lots of verbiage asserting something different from the above. But I assert my frame is closer to accurate than theirs

For people that used the Bridgy Fed Bluesky bridge, it got blocked 4 days ago., after BlueSky pulls the relay plug while they work on their fediverse to Bluesky systems. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/3094 "Daft-Freak you mean fediverse => Bluesky? They're doing a lot of work on their relay, bluesky-social/atproto#3036 , and they've temporarily paused ingesting commits from federated PDSes like Bridgy Fed. I don't have an ETA for when that will be lifted, sadly." https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1520#issuecomment-2492534380
