Social media reports
Several users also took to X (formerly Twitter) to report the outage.
One user wrote, "The only reason im posting on here is because bluesky is down."
Another added, “Well, Bluesky is fully down, this site apparently is only safe to browse on phone for an indeterminate span of time (I got some reasonably convincing correspondence on this point), I hate using my phone, so I think my task is now clear: gonna eat Adderall and read comics.”
So far, the company has not responded to the reports or provided a timeline for a resolution.
