So bluesky has been in development for 2+ years, is well funded, is invite only, has a few thousand total active users, and still can't handle the load.. Is this supposed to be the great Twitter killer?

All gone already. Anyone have more?

Anyone else have one?
Re: Bluesky facing degraded performance due to record high traffic
#34What's funny is that while Twitter wants you to log in and goes at great length to prevent you from reading anything when not logged in, the situation is exactly the other way round with Bluesky. They limit who can sign in, but openly publish all data via their API. So one could use an AT protocol client to read, or a web based client like this one: https://firesky.tv/ I just made an account, let's see how this thing…
No guarantee they don’t change this when they get bigger and shift from user acquisition to revenue & profitability.
Bluesky is VC funded and there’s expectations of revenue growth down the line.

0. Maybe someone hooked it up to logging the output of their 10T parameter LM in training.
1. Any news is good news, so DoS yourself to make some news on HN. :)
2. Code whoops causing amplification.

#36With so many novel platforms popping up, I feel whelmed; is there a central place I can go that ties it all together? (Like Google reader used to be for rss)

Yeah, what I need is a Reddit replacement
They're getting slammed hard, but I recommend creating an account on either http://lemmy.world or http://kbin.social . (Personally I prefer Lemmy due to it being closer to Reddit in design.) They both run OSS Reddit clones and appear to be gaining the most traction. As a bonus, they're also interoperable with each other, and any other server that installs the software.

they also federate with mastodon
> they also federate with mastodon
True, though the Mastodon compatibility is a bit iffy at the moment; they use ActivityPub in sufficiently different ways that it's not really possible to meaningfully access a Lemmy community via a Mastodon client, for example. I believe if it works at all, you'll basically just see a firehose of comments/posts.

They still show as unused on my end, but maybe that’s impacted by the outage.
Edit: ah, hard refresh of the app fixed that. Sorry!
