On Tuesday morning, the social media platform Bluesky experienced back-to-back outages that prevented feeds from loading for many users around the world.
An initial outage started at about 6AM ET, as tracked by Downdetector, lasting about 40 minutes, and then things crashed again at about 8AM. Bluesky experienced another major outage on April 24th that lasted for around an hour, which the company attributed to PDS networking problems.
Many of us here at The Verge were unable to refresh our Bluesky feeds across the desktop web service, or Bluesky’s iOS and Android apps, although its pages loaded while logged out, and some self-hosted users noted that they were able to continue posting to their decentralized servers even while the flagship app and service experienced problems.
It’s currently unclear what’s caused the issues or when access to the platform will remain steady, but during the outages, Bluesky’s status page noted that “some systems” were down. By 8:25AM ET, however, the site was loading again and, for the moment, it shows all green status lights across the board.
