Bluesky was dealing with connectivity problems on the day of the post, and the error messages were piling up. Around 11 a.m. PST, about 2 of the roughly 20 server locations listed on its status page were down while the rest were green and running.
The status page at was not good, and the author said they had trouble reaching the Notifications page about 20 minutes before the post. By the time the note went up, the page was showing the current status, and the writer described Bluesky as “GORKED, but good.”
The problem appeared to be intermittent, with Bluesky working “off and on,” according to a community member post on Daily Kos. That post also said the content was not subject to review by Daily Kos staff before publication.
For users watching twitter down searches and trying to get into the app, the key question is whether the service stays stable after the brief outage or slips back into the same stop-start pattern.
