Bluesky managed to go offline practically entirely. I count on you folks to spork the hell out of this.

Based on https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/14/24296537/bluesky-acting-up-outage-down it was down for 15-30 minutes and for some it was just read-only.

Lemmy instances regularly go down for maintenance longer than this.

Twitter used to regularly "fail whale" and in the long run no one cares.

Yes, decentralizing is a good thing. Yes, it's fun to poke at BlueSky. But in the long run if you have a product that people want to use then they'll put up with a lot of crap/downtime.

The point is that bluesky has no interest in being actually decentralized, it's just a gimmick

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Yeah because decentralization is just a gimmick. It sounds cool on paper, but in reality it doesn't solve many problems - it just introduces many others. The only situation where it helps is if an instance goes down permanently, and even then it's not that helpful.

Sorry, Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml were down for maintenance again. You were saying?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well, this user has posted on feddit.uk with a sh.itjust.works account. I would have been able to see it, but you wouldn't have.

To be honest, lemmy.world AND lemmy.ml could go offline I would barely notice it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have them both blocked, so yeah, they aren't that important at all.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i can understand blocking .ml, whats wrong with .world though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They have "power users" that mod multiples of the largest communities and will delete comments of they disagree with your opinion, citing "civility" or other nonsense, even when you're repeating back exactly what was said to you. So, yeah, abusive moderation.

I'm actually a big fan of the misinformation moderating they're doing on world. It's very Lemmy.ml of them in trying to maintain their political correctness.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Idk I once said something and they banned my comment for misinformation. Granted, I didn't post a source, but a quick search just proved my point. Which makes me wonder wth is their way to prove something is misinformation?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Oh I was being sarcastic for sure.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Purely anecdotal but… the 3 stupidest people I’ve ever met online were all from .world - and there seems to be a propensity for deleting comments that go against their world view. Only knowingly interacted with one .ml poster and they were perfectly decent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Look at this social butterfly who’s interacted with 3 people

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I think I would mainly notice because my whole feed would be wholesome, supportive, and funny.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the fact that I had no idea kinda disproves your point. I am browsing Lemmy a lot.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The joke is that most of lemmycels are on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. Not that these instances literally went down.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because most of the communities are on those 2 instances. In terms of userbase world does have the most users, but they're the exception as other "big" instances are more evenly split.

So instead of a single instance going down we have 2 main instances that need to go down, and even if they go down we'd have lemmee, shitjustworks, lemmyca and blahaj (and I guess also lemmynsfw) communities feeding the feed.
