"Understanding #Bluesky’s architecture clarifies how this happened. Built on the #ATproto Protocol developed since 2019, the system uses #PDS nodes (Personal Data Servers), Relays (servers that gather and distribute data), and AppViews (which render the user interface).

Critically, while anyone can run their own PDS for greater control, doing so requires technical effort and resources. As a result, the vast majority access Bluesky through the official app."

Bluesky Has And Outage And People Wonder Why.

Bluesky had a massive outage the other day, and people are wondering how could a “decentralized” social network go down like that?

You know how? It’s not decentralized yet. Most of the users are still on the main server and that’s what went down.

You don’t see stuff like this happening on Mastodon or the other ActivityPub services. You know why? They are all decentralized and if one server goes down, the others don’t.

It’s not a complex concept.

Look I like Bluesky. I like that there are people that I want to follow over there. There’s a community there for me. But I also have a even bigger community on the Fediverse (Mastodon etc.).

What bugs me is that Bluesky touts that it’s decentralized when it’s NOT.

Not yet at least.

I mean it can be decentralized and that makes it far better than X/Twitter and the other Web 2.0 apps out there that are centralized and walled off. But it’s still not decentralized — not yet.

And until it can be easily decentralized and in fact is, we’re going to have outages like this and censorship like we’re seeing with Turkey and Bluesky.

Thoughts? I’d love to hear your take.

Wait, how did a decentralized service like Bluesky go down?

On Thursday evening, the decentralized social network Bluesky experienced a significant outage, leaving users unable to load the app on both the web and mobile devices for roughly an hour.

Despite the platform’s decentralized nature, the majority of Bluesky users today interact with the service via Bluesky’s official app, powered by the AT Protocol.

On Friday which is typically a payday for weekly wages workers, there was some kind of outage that prevented #HomePay (from Care[dot]com) from paying out salaries to domestic workers like nannies, maids, babysitters, etc. They subsequently had a message on their website login screen, but for most of the day for many there was no clarity on when the funds would be dispersed to the workers. Customer care had long wait times due to this issue too. Since funds are typically collected on the Wednesday before, it was already gone from the families accounts who employed them. They eventually sent out communication indicating the delayed payroll would be paid out on Monday.

I’m surprised with such a major payroll platform having a payout outage and there was no news coverage I could find on the subject. I’m really interested in understanding what was the technical issues causing this problem. Also what banking service is HomePay using?

Power restored in Yellowknife and Behchokǫ̀ after outages
There was a lengthy power outage in Yellowknife and Behchokǫ̀ on Saturday afternoon. The Northwest Territories Power Corporation says power was restored in Behchokǫ̀ about one hour after the outage began, but some parts of Yellowknife are still without power.
