DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attack against BlueSky a few days ago: The whole network goes down.
DDoS against mastodon.social today: Lots of users on that instance impacted, the rest of the Fediverse keeps on running, my instance doesn't really notice, messages will be queued up until mastodon.social is reachable again.
Both networks claim to be decentralised and federated. You decide
@jwildeboer I didnt even notice.

Also, we still don't know if the April 16th thing was a DDoS. That's also what the devs claimed the April 3rd downtime was before their post mortem revealed it to just be sloppy vibe coding causing them to DOS themselves. -

And to be very clear about this: DDoS attacks are stupid and cause a lot of work. My sympathy goes to the sysadmins on every side, including those at the upstream network providers who have to deal with this, often at weird times. It is exhausting work and I really don't want you to have to do it, but hey, that's the world we live in, unfortunately. Sys Admin Hug!
As the "not all of BlueSky" folks are occupying the replies, I will simply stop replying. Please continue to discuss, disagree or accept that people like me only have that much time and energy to invest.

@jwildeboer proof that bluesky is pretending to be decentralized while being centralized under the hood, this is just so it can get away with more.
-
@agowa338 The TL;DR for me is that the current ATProto/Atmosphere architecture still contains centralised elements that stand in the way of full federation. My suspicion is that this is by design.
@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @agowa338 Yes, the PLC Directory (Identitätsverwaltung) is (still) centralized.

@jwildeboer What's ultimately and unirrevocably unique that even during ddos attack I could use the basic UI features after certain time (less than an hour), and within ~2-3h posting worked with a bit of retries (usually less than 2 attempts). Fascinating!
I don't mind currently registering on bluesky, but their decentralization design is much weaker than this fediverse, despite having more public attention from influencers. -

@jwildeboer All I can say is dee doo dee doo dee doo. Decentralization is da bomb!

@jwildeboer There truly is a world of difference
I tried running a dedicated stand alone Bluesky server/network but i was unable to
It’s not as simple as just running a PDS, that’s just a super small part of it. Bluesky is designed to keep everyone needing their service one way or another

@jwildeboer was unaware of any such attack until reading this post lol

@jwildeboer I had no idea dot social even got DDoS'd until just now.

@jwildeboer Who the heck would attack mastodon social??
@tech_noir @jwildeboer Many on the fedi actively hate mast.social (ban on sight kind of deal) I wouldn’t be surprised. It could also be a weird way to push people off .social to make mastodon more decentralized.

@jwildeboer
The whole network didn't go down. Bluesky went down, and non-bluesky architecture was fine. Let's acknowledge the other parts like blacksky, microcosm and brid.gy building the actual decentralization, and not conflate them with bs

@jwildeboer i never understand their logic about decentralize
