Can't post or access notifications again. . .

I'm getting notifications but when I tap on them to see the post, all I get is a blank page and an error message

Gary Gifford

I contacted TDS internet (Pacific NW). They looked into the problem and confirmed the issue was with them. They are working on it.

Corri Goates

Thanks for posting this! I turned off my Wifi on my phone and was able to log on. Odd that TDS is somehow blocking it.

Gary Gifford

Central Oregon outage (now 24 hours): Bsky works on my phone but not via my TDS home internet.

Gary Gifford

There are a bunch of articles online about it.

Gary Gifford

Approaching 24 hours down in Central Oregon

Brooklyn Ann

It's stuck on the "Add your birthdate" screen.

florence, the machine

"iraqi proxy hackers ddos'd us " is bsky team speak for "Claude please help oh God"

ChrisOU812

Hours later (nearly 1AM Eastern) the Discover feed refuses to load at all. 503. Other feeds load. I did get a note from Support about Bsky logging me out with every new desktop tab for the last day+. They apologetically said they were working on that, so if anyone else has that happening, it's not just you.

Gary Gifford

Probably a continuation of the Iranian DDOS attack a week ago.

Grumpy

It seems to be working fine at not working, as usual

Achampnator

Same here

P C Niles

"Upstream server responded with a 503 error" Error message on both app and website. Just noticed. Was on and active earlier today, into afternoon (PDT). Oh well...

florence, the machine

isn't a beautiful night outside, posters? let's all get some fresh air. yeah. wasn't that a nice deep breath? okay, go refresh it again

Nostromo

The 'Discover' side is down. 10:15 PM EDST, metro-Charlotte, NC. The 'Following' side seems okay and I can access my comment activity.

mimismom

I'm getting a 503 error. Northwest Indiana, near Chicago.

Gary Gifford

Down ALL DAY in the Pacific Northwest.

JaTacooLoveee

welp

JaTacooLoveee

same hereeeee again

Bill Farfan

I cn't access the home page on Bluesky and I can no longer cut and past items to my computer. I have to screen shot everything. What is going on now? This is making it difficult and impossible in some cases to interact with. Is there an effort to undermine this site?

Luna

Someone needs to write Claude/Why yaoi on AO3

Gary Gifford

This is two lengthy outages in two days. It's been down for two hours, yet the graph seems pretty light. Must be where I am in Central Oregon. Not a connection or internet problem, just Bluesky page templates loading with zero content.

ChrisOU812

Bsky currently logging me out every time I go to a different window (desktop/Firefox). I've literally just logged in like 5 times in probably 4 minutes.

Gary Gifford

For an hour now just the page templates load with no content.

ralph blackmer

I'm having same problem in Vermont

ralph blackmer

I am getting the same problem up here in New England

ralph blackmer

Have tried on different servers for Past several hours with no success in signing on my blue sky account

JThaGeek

Well, that sucks. Can't even access the site rn on my computer.

worldoffizz

Getting a 403 Forbidden error when I try to access Bsky from my desktop. Mobile app seems to be loading okay.

Selachian

2 days worth of 403 Forbidden errors on desktop, although it works fine on my Android phone app.

Luna

Again??? It also logged me out

Darren Stauffer

"403 Forbidden" This is a joke.

Craig Reynolds

“403 Forbidden” on website via Safari browser on my laptop. Website works fine on Chrome browser on my laptop. The bsky app on my phone works fine.

Leo Marvin

No access. "403 Forbidden" message. Annoying.

The REAL Mary Pauline Mahaydik

Still receivng 403 forbidden message .. how difficult can this be to fix ?!?

Randy Stewart

When is this 403 Forbidden nonsense going to be fixed??? This is going on a day already!

borko

403 forbidden message of doom and despair

leo (routexxpuppy on twt)

a month is crazy LMAO... i really don't wanna go back to twitter right now (yes i do HAVE one as my name implies but i dont like using it) so I guess this is my mandatory social media cleanse

AntLion impersonator

My man, it's been a DAY. You wouldn't survive if you were a deeeep io player (There were times when the site was down for A MONTH)

AntLion impersonator

403 forbidden message just like everyone else, never seen any error messages like this so thought I was blocked by the whole site lol

Litzz11

403 error message from the web, I can still access via iOS app though.

Bob Smith

403 Forbidden from bsky app.

chasex

403 Forbidden

Jon Kitchen

I am getting the 403 Error Code, which has something to do with security, but never used to happen. I've been on Bluesky using my laptop since Elon bought Twitter, and now they are not letting my older MacBook Air connect.

leo (routexxpuppy on twt)

what happened in the span of a night why is bluesky just Dead

Ione

I hope they don't. I love watching them suffer because they are so insistent on slop code.

Kyle

I'm moving to Twitter dude I've had enough of the developers twiddling their thumbs on Claude and dipping their phones in pools

Ione

It has been lmao

Drika

I can't wait for the excuses.

Pantamonte

So like is this just a server thing or is the vibecoding finally catching up to them lol

Drika

I can only block him so often. After the diving cellphone.

celadon but only sometimes

let me guess, he’s taking credit for BSky being down?

binguschord

waow its back for me. goodnight chat

Luna

They're too busy obsessing over Claude to think of that

Luna

Which prompt injection did you use

Maitreya

bruh just use anubis or cloudfront ddos protection, its not that hard.

Bariman43

I genuinely wonder if Why feeding his notifs to Claude and me typing up a prompt injection might have actually done something...

Luna

Let's all block Why

Magenta

Keep it up bluesky, AI will surely be the solution this time!

okadakinnie

btw our sincerest apologies to hacker group 313 who claimed credit for the last DDoS, but if y'all did it, we do not believe you. why? exactly -O

Magenta

They blocked everyone who pointed out the issue, so seems like the latter

Leon2550

the experiment has concluded, "Bluesky" is no more. thank you for participating in the experiment.

Connor Sordyl

One of the greatest mysteries of our time is if they genuinely don't see the problem with their busted AI code or simply refuse to

binguschord

they should bring bluesky back

MechWarriorNY

...Reset the clock.

Luna

ClearSky has also been broken for quite some time. It hasn't updated in a long time

Shayne Reed

Every single day

Luna

Again?

Magenta

My guess, bluesky's incompetent vibecoders screwed up again

binguschord

rip bluesky o7

Magenta

Looks like they tried to cool the servers in the pool again

WolfKing

does anyone know whats going on???

BlueskyWhyAreYouLikeThis

Are you kidding me?? Why does this keep happening so often??

rotzlonigiri

raptornx01

Welcome back for another exciting game of Vibe-Code Roulette. Place your bets

JaTacooLoveee

Monkey

Won't load for some reason...

Nathan Kyle Richardson

Website won't load for me no matter how long I wait, status page says all systems are operational.

Cindy Mullins

Blue Sky won't load

Luna

yuri

JuiuJ DooD

"Hi, I'm Jimmy McLean, and I'm here to claim that BlueSky is run by a bunch of no-good AI bros who vibe-coded the entire THING!!!!!!"

Luna

Why of the bluesky team subscribed to an "AI Haters" list

Luna

That group behind the recent DDoS is claiming responsibility again

manic248

Why do they have to use Ai for their website

PipimiOden

I should've just left social media entirely instead of using bluesky.

Maia C

Instead of images, I'm seeing just pale gray rectangles. Using Bluesky in a browser; the problem occurs in multiple browsers.

Rusty Shackleford

Probably. bsky staff are cryptobro vibecoders who have no idea what they're doing.

Luna

The other outage was claimed to be a DDoS from a pro-Iran group, is this another DDoS or their Vibecode acting up

Rayne Raccoon

App has been buggy all day.

JuiuJ DooD

Things won't refresh on mobile.

Eric Stevens-Kuykendall

Can't post.

Brayden Nohai Productions

Videos wont play

Jacque Kelley

NC. Not fully down but glitching bad. It hasn't actually recovered from the outage the other day.

Down

cl0wnt0wn95

Did you know that falsely identifying as a federal agent is illegal and a federal crime? Sending your info to the FBI right now. Bye!

cl0wnt0wn95

Down in Arizona

JuiuJ DooD

Down for me in thr Midwest.

Funky

AGAIN

AnonymousAmy

(Indiana) App won't load anything, just blank and my profile is blank. Sure wish BlueSky could get their act together. This is getting so freaking old.

Cogn1tive

(California) And it's down again and again, pro-Iran hackers, 313 Team, are taking credit per Threat Beat. Clearly they're on Trumps side since they haven't hacked Truth Social so, apparently the Iran hackers are in favor of this war since they keep attacking a social media site whose users are predominately against this war. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

maswartz

It would be AMAZING if social media stopped crashing at least once a week!

Callista

Down again. Nothing is loading and it says, yet again, to contact the server owner. Yay, bluesky....

Cogn1tive

California. Here we go again (via the website). Feed went blank and when trying to log back in, just a blue butterfly in the middle of the screen.

stxrville

can’t even verify my account 😭

seldomceladon

being edgy isn't really funny anymore 😭

iRetarded

We at the FBI took down the site. You are all going to re-education camps.

kayakyakr

Lol, they took down their status page.

This one is worse than the one a few days ago. The site doesn't load at all now. Before, the site was loading but with no content.

AlligatorTurtle

It's down again bruh... Small edit: logged back in with no problem so far.

Starryskye80

I can't log in, it's stuck. So mad!!

ladygendom

Again?!

kayakyakr

Looks like their main handle resolver went down. Pretty core component.

Scottybrink

Won’t let me view profiles it just sits there blank and never loads

GMOD

bfdi26 reporting for downdetector scrolling

David

Unable to log into app. Asking me to sign in and then it just sits there. My phone usually memorizes my log in and I've never been asked to until now.

jessicapancakes

another day another broken vibe coding incident

grey

stuck on logo. Again

cl0wnt0wn95

Aww poor you! Your life must be so hard 🥺💔

Richard

"Did you mean:"X"?" "X",formerly known as "Twitter",that is.

Richard

"Hacktivist group 313 Team claimed responsibility for the sophisticated DDoS attacks that caused widespread service disruptions." That's what I discovered via a Google Search for "Bluesky issues". The 313 Team can take their pro-Iranian nonsense, and stick it up where the sun does not shine. I want those guys banned from The ENTIRE Internet,FOREVER!

Cogn1tive

From what I have learned the 313 Team are always trying to shut down Twitter and they do go after Truth Social as well a lot but how often they're successful I don't know as I didn't dig that far. But for reasons unbeknownst to most is that Bluesky isn't known for having a robust security infrastructure and gets hit a lot by hacktivists despite having raised millions of dollars. You'd think they'd invest that money in better mitigation to protect their platform but who are we to suggest such?

Andy

I used to scroll through bluesky, now I scroll through downdetector comments.

raptornx01

if that true they should have gone after twitter. most of bluesky is on their side. lol plus, twitter is held together with sticks and bubblegum, so it would have ended up crashing harder.

Larry Blakesley

Back up for the moment in Colorado. No attack can last forever. They find the sources and cut them off.

Steffanie Schaeffer

I just went through the countries at the bottom of this page. The only country fully down is the U.S. It's working everywhere else. A few places have limited problems, but the U.S. is the only country where it isn't working at all.

Steffanie Schaeffer

Martinez, CA. Nothing but the blue butterfly for me at this point. However, it worked last night. Hope they figure it out. Looks like it's back up for some people. Guess we just need to be patient.

Arabella Bliss

so this website is just never gonna work again huh

Cogn1tive

Apparently it's the 313 Team. According to a search: They're a pro-Iranian hacktivist cell suspected of conducting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Bluesky, causing API errors and feed loading failures. They're going after any entities to cause disruption (from social media to infrastructure) that are perceived to be pro Israel and have escalated their attacks lately due to the US-Israel war on Iran. That's what I am finding.

Sheryl

San Jose, CA. Still nothing since yesterday evening.

seldomceladon

I'm surprised dragonbard isn't taking credit for this tbh

TheNiceOne

its back up for me now in syria

AnchorOfTime

Who could possibly wanna attack Bluesky and why?

seldomceladon

dude 😭

Cogn1tive

California. Still down on both the website and app. Now I'm getting "Upstream server responded with a 429 error" message. Did find this via Google search: "Attack Confirmation: Bluesky COO Rose Wang and engineers confirmed the platform is under a, coordinated DDoS attack."

papacitogordo

Seems to be back up and running for me. Was down since mid morning.

Michael

And all dogs die eventually

Michael

Only specific tabs work like the following tab, in fact its the only tab that works on my end

AlligatorTurtle

Bluesky works randomly before crashing all of a sudden. It's like that since a little while for me. And the status page doesn't work at all, because it says that it took too long to load on my end...

Andy Proctor

The site is so busted not even their STATUS PAGE works. Y'know, the page that every site has to tell you when they have outages or maintenance? That also isn't working. Absolutely laughable that this STILL an issue, like, days later. "We use AI for our website's code" Yeah, I can tell.

RockinKat

“decentralized” platform started by ex Twitter people who are fans of vibe coding breaks down for over a day. Glad most of the people I care about went somewhere else.

Onnaise

“Bluesky is made with AI, the engineers and even some non-engineers use Claude code” -Jay Graber

Victor

embeds stopped working again

AngryManMLS

Kinda up and running for me. Very slow.

AngryManMLS

I bet you don't even know what woke means kiddo.
