Bluesky outage double feature, part 1
(sh.itjust.works)
Bluesky managed to go offline practically entirely. I count on you folks to spork the hell out of this.

In fairness they're still rolling out their federation.
Individuals can host their own servers with limited users (10 I think?). The Guardian seems to have launched one judging by their new account @theguadian.com launched today.
And they're using an open prptocol, with a promise to transfer it to an independent standards body in the near future. Also Jack Dorsey no longer has anything to do with it which is another good sign.
Can I have the documentation? I believe you I just haven't found it myself (I'm bad at looking things up)
I'd be interested in self hosting my own Bluesky server if this is the case, maybe I could bridge it to my Misskey Server
@Turret3857 I don't have any documentation, but I do know that Friendica (which is a multi-protocol platform) created a Bluesky addon. Maybe their code might be a good example. #^https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons/tree/develop/bluesky
Also, Bridgy Fed can be used by any ActivityPub-based platform to connect to Bluesky. That can work in the meantime until direct integration with AT Protocol is developed.
Thanks for the links!! Looking into them now :D
