TFW the decentralized social network is down because the centralized service it uses to function is down

@mcc I think this is a joke but also so few people think of Bluesky as decentralized i think nearly everyone assumed you mean mastodon

@jason Not a joke, Bluesky actually did go down for about 15-20 minutes this morning, I'm not sure which component but whatever it was also took down alternate frontends such as blacksky.community (but not staging.blacksky.community, which is the new appview)

@mcc oof, how can anyone continue to put real investment into that ecosystem with a straight face?

The VC's will eventually want some ROI and they will get blood from those stones.

@occult @mcc Ehh, I assumed that Bluesky's plan was to sell itself to Elon Musk

Upcoming Relay Transition | Bluesky

In coming days we are finally going to transition the bsky.network firehose endpoint to a newer relay implementation. This should not have a significant impact on most consumers.
