We apologize for yesterday’s service problems. Bluesky experienced a DDoS attack—a flood of junk traffic meant to knock servers offline—over a period of 24 hours. We have upgraded our defenses in response, and we continue to monitor the situation. Follow @status.bsky.app for any updates.

You really can't stop blaming Claude's objective failures and shortcomings on "DDoS attacks." First, if that's true, that's disturbing. Second, if it isn't, then it's even more telling. Third, most perilous, if it's BOTH, what on earth is the point of trusting the site to work on vibe coding?!

Cross site junk traffic kills the vibe coding conspiracy. An agent thrashing one API looks like a bad loop. Floods on unrelated hosts look like a botnet. Mixing those into one story makes the outage harder to fix, because you hunt prompts instead of packets.
