With how slow Bluesky is right now, it’s worth pointing out this is why federation, despite its flaws, is a good thing. Right now Bsky.social could easily be DDoSed and we’d all get disconnected. The fediverse is much more spread out and thus more resilient to those attacks.

Granted, there are giant instances like Mastodon.social that have the same problem, but every time it goes down it’s an important lesson for people, to pick smaller instances. I’ve got a friend who’s on his own self-hosted Akkoma instance now because Mastodon.social was getting too slow.
