Site now recovered Btw — Today will get interesting! If the site goes down, maybe grab a soda, pet the kitty. We’ll hit it with a wrench as fast as we can

Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage: - “Invalid Handle” everywhere - Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow) - Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow) - Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff

You know that scifi meme where a super-baby born yesterday is suddenly growing into a teenager and then adult in the same week? Bluesky is having those kinds of growing pains 😄 or see it as Happy "invalid handle" Day everyone!

There seems to be other glitches. I'm not getting any replies to my posts from people with red faces calling me a 'woke faggot'. I'm assuming that'll come when the other bits get fixed.

What about “rate limit exceeded”? I’m seeing it constantly (even just looking at profiles) but it only after I ran the thing to find Twitter follows the other night and I can’t help but think I am actually being rate limited.

Speaking from experience, starter packs also seem to sometimes not register you adding new people.

Hey Paul, something’s wrong with re-skeeting….re-skeets are not showing up on my own personal feed. They appear to be re-skeeted but cannot confirm they actually did so. ??????

Good to know about the Invalid Handle thing, I thought I should un-follow or block them, then saw how many had them and figured it was a glitch.

So that's why "invalid handle" keeps showing up on my profile, with no way to fix it? I was worried something else was wrong. Lots of people coming over from the hate-fest app. I assume that's why there are issues here now.

It's to be expected. I've been told I'll have to increase my bandwidth soon. As you can read, many of us are just happy to be young again finding new and old friends in a better place. Please don't sell to a billionaire to use as a propaganda machine. Love your work Bluesky.

I love how the new assholes from Twitter don’t even have the self-awareness that their influx is what’s causing the issues. I’m also a Twitter dropout, but trying to quietly integrate with this great platform rather than shriek about why it’s worse than Twitter. Cuz it’s WAY better!
