A third user reported, “I’ve been trying to get back on, and everytime I’m locked out. I got access once, but once I made a post, I was kicked right back out.”
Another asked, “Bluesky is down again why does this keep happening please somebody explain?”
One more user wrote, “It was working for maybe 15 minutes. Now it’s back to not loading my feed.”

Social media reports
Several users also took to X (formerly Twitter) to report the outage.
One user wrote, “The only reason im posting on here is because bluesky is down.”
Another added, “Well, Bluesky is fully down, this site apparently is only safe to browse on phone for an indeterminate span of time (I got some reasonably convincing correspondence on this point), I hate using my phone, so I think my task is now clear: gonna eat Adderall and read comics.”
So far, the company has not responded to the reports or provided a timeline for a resolution.
