It feels like Bluesky is having a fair number of access hiccups today and I am personally okay with cutting them some slack about it because there are, like, 20 staff to to handle being the Sudden New Hotness in Social Media

thanks. i was wondering what was up. oh well, good excuse to get work done on my book... I "started" about 2 hours ago and haven't written/changed a word...
I noticed the same but I've seen this story countless times with small things that become successful and popular. Just hang in there through the issues!
Honestly, I’m impressed by the sheer amount of growth they’ve been able to handle in such a short amount of time. The architecture is pretty strong if these hiccups are minimal and they seem smart enough to be scalable.
I think small hiccups are to be expected, but nothing pops up
as egregious.
The user volume has increased geometrically on Bluesky this week. I doubt they anticipated this in their wildest dreams. Keeping the site up as much as they have is an outstanding achievement.
🦋🦋 I suggest everyone log off a few hours, go for a walk, read a book, eat a meal.. let these SkyGuys try and handle the glitches without our crazy activities bombarding them. 🦋🦋
When I got on this morning, it said that I was invalid. My username was invalid. My account was invalid. I left and returned and all is fine. It was a little scary.
couldn’t even get my like to stick on this post. They are really going through it today!! Maybe we should all quit posting for an hour in solidarity and give them some breathing room😅🥹
It's kind of fun/exciting to be at the start of something I think. Of course no one likes it being slow, but it's cool to think about why it's happening.
They probably didn't expect, or underestimated, the amount of traffic they would get post election. I suspect a lot in the UK are coming in. Good to see my timeline here filling up, after being here for over a year.
If everyone else deleting their content from The Bad Place™️ is reposting some of it here like I am, that is an awful lot of incoming information in a short time!

So far, they've done a wonderful job. Their uptime through all this has been very admirable. And their IT architect(s) did a fantastic job.
We love our Bluesky folk
and what a great problem to have!
NOBODY SKEET FOR ONE HOUR
