Bluesky video uploads are temporarily unavailable.

All services should now be recovered!

things should be recovering now! though might be a bit bouncy. want to emphasize that this was not an attack or intentional takedown of Bluesky or atproto, just boring old transit disruption. we already had work underway to improve network resilience for our services...

An upstream network problem has been impacting almost all Bluesky network services for the past 3-4 hours. Posting and other public interactions are disrupted for many accounts. As connectivity recovers, the firehose and other services will see large surges of events.

pretty broad/serious disruptions to bluesky network services, including relay and jetstream, impacting much of broader ecosystem. events (including posts) from many PDS hosts are delayed and coming in spikes. root cause is upstream transit problems. working to bring up alt transit.

🚨 BlueSky Status Update Partial PDS Incident Resolved Elfcup users should be able to use the site again without issue. 📅 June 20, 2025 at 23:53 🔗 blu.ski/status

From Official Status Page: Users on elfcup.us-east.host.bsky.network may be temporarily unable to use their accounts. We're in the process of remediating the issue.

this was impacting only new accounts from the past 90 minutes or so. this should be clear now; if a newly created account isn't working, try doing another interaction/post

Okay, this seems to have been resolved! The outage was roughly 7:20pm PST to 8:40pm. There appears to have been a networking problem with the servers hosting new accounts which caused them to fail to sync with the wider network.

From Official Status Page: New Account Posting Issue We are investigating a problem creating posts (and other interactions) for recently created accounts. This is impacting a subset of users and PDS instances.

Investigating an apparent outage which is causing posts and other activity to move slowly through the network

Going to do a detailed writeup of the outage this week. Just need to land some mitigations before we talk about it

Our leading theory is that it was an accident by a 3p

1. Bluesky’s about interop and scale, mastos about topological distribution, blockchains are about censorship resistance. Decentralization means different things 2. All of our PDSes got DDOSed. Any PDS that wasn’t stayed online. If the same happened to AP, they would’ve had the same outage

this was posted sort of in haste, it was at least partially self-inflicted. attribution!

We're back from a bit of downtime — thanks for your patience just now! Our team is working to investigate the root cause. We share downtime updates at status.bsky.app.

One very funny part of this outage: all the self-hosters stayed online

Okay we are back. Very sorry for the outage everyone. We're still clearing out the situation. Will keep you updated

looks like this is a targeted DDoS attack against the bsky PDS fleet; responses are rolling out soon

Update on PDS Downtime We have identified a likely root cause and are rolling out a fix to the Bluesky PDS fleet. status.bsky.app/history
