Anyway, if you are an institution that has made the jump from the hellsite to Bluesky, consider this a reminder as to why POSSE is important. Thanks to providers like MastoHost, it's fully possible to pay for your own social media infrastructure, and to not tie all your fortunes to a single transphobic company.
@xgranade …that’s why you don’t lock a quick-release wheel…

Yeah, I'm gloating over Bluesky being down. I know it's a bad look. I'm just happy that a company that adopted AI to piss off trans people they didn't like, that platformed Jesse Singal over and over again, and whose CEO tried to invent a new transphobic slur is eating shit today.
Bluesky is a transphobic company, I do not like them at all, and I am not sorry to be happy about their loss. I am sorry for the collateral damage that has on everyone who depends on Bluesky for a living.
@xgranade "CEO tried to invent a new transphobic slur"
wait what?

Something ironic about the first news article I found on Bluesky being down was from AOL.
Remembering Compuserve, Prodigy, and AOL before The Freenets and the Internet.
Bluesky down: Twitter competitor not working amid major outage
Bluesky has gone down in what appears to be a major outage. The X competitor, which surged in popularity in the wake of Elon Musk’s purchase of what was then Twitter, is refusing to let users log in or to show them posts. Bluesky operates an official status page which is built to give updates on outages, but that also appeared to be affected by the problems.

And I just found out that bluesky.com is a company that makes custom planners and calendars. I'd like to think they were offered a lot money for the domain name and told bsky to get stuffed.

@xgranade BlueSky was a bad bet when it started: centralized social media
started by the Twitter guy with vaporware federation funded by Bitcoin Idiots, LLC . I hope people stop trying to kick Lucy's football after this, but I'm not holding my breath.@theorangetheme @xgranade And now you can add vibecoded

@Laukidh @stufromoz They're claiming it's a DDoS, which while that does raise some strong questions as to whom, why, and how they're able to do so much damage to a "decentralized" platform, is at least consistent with being up and down every few minutes.
