Contesto

The decentralized social media platform Bluesky has been experiencing widespread and ongoing service disruptions since just before 3 a.m. Eastern Time, leaving a significant portion of its user base unable to access the network.

Company representatives have issued brief statements confirming they are investigating the root cause of the failure. The lack of a detailed public post-mortem or a clear estimated time for full resolution has contributed to user anxiety. Technical...
