Well hello half a million new users.
Trying to get the app team to prioritize 'away statuses' so people can know you're offline to better shit-talk you.
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #3! Actually kinda thought I was number 2... who else besides paul beat me?? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vpkhqolt662uhesyj6nxm7ys&cid=bafkreiheoear2vvoedhdtx77m37kn4po5o2bleds4nqdyhwra3xovl2u4i
Once we run out of space on these servers for new accounts, everyone will have to start sharing their accounts with new users. Will probably implement an 'every other hour' switcher so you can take turns with your account buddy.
A year ago we made it to 1 million users, today we hit 10 million!

I guess I should try out this new feature we shipped
Bluesky has 50% more users today than a week ago.
servers doing spooky things
Well, we're operating at 10x our load from last week, and haven't actually had any full downtime. discover has been down periodically, firehose had a minute or so of downtime, and various other services have gone on and off, but as a whole the thing is holding strong.
