they've been coding their backend with AI for a few months now, pretty sure this is the second big hiccup they've had so far

But I thought bsky was supposed to be a decentralized platform! Shouldn't decentralization and federation minimize the impact of a DDoS!?
Lol!
A Redditor is on the case...
In case we play the speculation game "Who dunit?!" I guess it must have been the Russians, for it cannot be a coincidence that this DoS started just after Putin decided to block bsky for all Russians.
Dontcha know everything bad that happens absolutely MUST be the Russians, and if you even consider any other alternatives, that means you're ALSO the Russians
They took this long??? It was a site filled with slava ukraini libs.
You're like the only person I know online that uses bluesky and it's to hate follow the libs libbing it up.
Post-election it exploded in size and it lost its mojo. Most of the time it's just dull or tedious so quality is hard to find. Also - it's a total joke that it's been unusable for this many hours. It has to be due to some combination of laziness, stupidity, incompetence and greed for this to be happening in 2026. 1996 or even 2006 would be understandable but not now.
Good thing they said it's decentralized so we can just access it from elsewhere. Oh wait...
decentralized = Oops - the hamster wheel broke, fell off, and the killed the critters powering the server and the animal wrangler is on vacation without a phone and he's unreachable.
felt it looking up art, only time I use it, stuff would just not load or load slowly
It's been entirely unusable for me.
