Did Bluesky Actually Suffer a DDoS Attack Last Week?
In today's brief 'final update' they dropped the claim the cause was a "sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack", and clearly do not want to discuss the subject any further.
But is this OK? Do Bluesky users have a right to truthful information about the outage and why it was so severe?
In April 2025, Bluesky attributed an outage to a DDoS attack only later to reveal that it was not.

Some are saying that dropping the mention of a DDoS attack does not mean that it did not occur. This is absolutely true, but it does raise questions.
