BlueSky, the fully decentralised (wink wink) social media platform is down worldwide again.

@GossiTheDog apparently, from the post on my timeline immediately before this, so is facebook

something is afoot

@GossiTheDog

The worlds largest and most impressive ddos ever. So massive it can topple a decentralized network... yet so elegant and precise as to go unnoticed.

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog

that's quite a coincidence, all them federated sites going down at once. must be a foreign plot. :)

[hcj@fosstodon.org]

@GossiTheDog It's strange that a decentralised platform can go down globally 🫠

[deci@eepy.moe]

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social it's.. not. there's 2 pdses down. i have like 4 accounts and all except my main work right now

[synx508@bsd.network]

@GossiTheDog Works for me, but Facebook is down. Weird.

[distinctdipole@tech.lgbt]

@GossiTheDog Lovely dose of schadenfreude to end my day 🤣

[bbaugh@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog seems to be localized outage as per @mttaggart

[mttaggart@infosec.exchange]

@bbaugh @GossiTheDog Yeah it's a couple of PDSes.

[kalfeher@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog seems fine. Maybe not worldwide?
What tool/data source did you use to determine the outage?

Or was it a case of using a couple of remote proxies? Which I do when I'm curious, but not _that_ curious

@GossiTheDog

I didn't notice over here in northern Europe

Should probably mention I migrated from Bluesky.Social to Eurosky.Social the other day, but I keep getting updates from Bluesky accounts too.

[baardhaveland@snabelen.no]

@GossiTheDog

I mean...
😁

[mackuba@martianbase.net]

@GossiTheDog No, a couple of Bluesky-hosted PDSes are down, the remaining ~90 of theirs and all the independent ones are fine. You know, because it's decentralized.

[mackuba@martianbase.net]

@mttaggart @bbaugh @GossiTheDog Why would you ruin a good toot with facts…

[mackuba@martianbase.net]

@hcj @GossiTheDog Yes, it would be, if that was what happened, but it's not what happened

[ruthoday2@chaosfem.tw]

@GossiTheDog

It's down everywhere, how much more decentralized do you want???

[peachfront@toot.community]

@GossiTheDog

is it wrong to giggle 🤣

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@mackuba @hcj @GossiTheDog

but of course we are allowed to remain disgusted by bluesky's level of centralization
