Bluesky's website and app are experiencing service interruptions, attributed to a denial-of-service attack. The issue began around 2:42 a.m. ET on Thursday and has continued since. Currently, the site and app will load slowly and sometimes with an error message. Other popular feeds are affected, but other communities are also operating. The company has not yet disclosed what is causing the disruption.
