Seems to be working fine for me

Senior BA here. One more for the list: add an auto translation flag to profiles. If “1” then auto connect to google translate for foreign language posts to users’ preferred language.

Thanks

Servers gotta eat too, we’re good

thanks @jay.bsky.team & @bsky.app

I'm sorry you have to deal with this stuff today! Thank you

You guys are doing amazingly well despite the massive surge. No hiccups. No fail whales. I guess you are thinking ten steps ahead. Wish this was possible without using AWS and making Bezos richer.

You got this! 😎 bluesky.team Apologies for interrupting ur Thanksgiving dinner Everyone is full of pie, hangin out here :)

For a second I thought you meant waiters went back for a second helping of Thanksgiving food

Thankful for all you bluesky hardworking mods/techs, etc! (true depiction of bs-servers today👇🏼😝)

Hugs Paul.

Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for working today.

(... and now for some PyPI pie ...)

I don't like paying for other people mistakes

Paul Frazee? More like Paul Freeze!

I've done nearly two decades in incident management and SRE and this is my favourite comms/status page.

It loads to pictures or it gets the hose again

yeah, I noticed, I thought the problem was my internet

Thanks for the updates, Paul. Thankfully you're not in a food coma... or are you? 🫠

Perfectly happy being patient here

thank god I've been posting mine as data URIs

Happy dog

Hope between the chaos you are able to have a happy thanksgiving 🙂

tudo bem pai, no seu tempo

You guys are awesome and incredible. Ty 🦋💙🥰

Hi Paul, is there any way to import all of my Facebook and Twitter/X contacts directly into Bluesky? I am getting antsy to cut the cord.

Great job guys. I am forever grateful for you getting this up and administering the site so well. Thank you. I hope you had a good thanksgiving day even tho you are working what must be 24/7 😎

a little bit less stuffing, more cranberry sauce

Hope you got some time off today, Mr. Sky.

sorry I keep feeding turkey to the servers

Why Jack Dorsey fled Bluesky?

Drink some water, servers!

Next …. go and stop that ‘hotness’ bullshit from being the default for unsuspecting users please?

Here's hoping they make it through dessert with ease. Thanks for all you're doing here!

We love Bluesky and all you're doing to support the amazing expansion of users. Thank you! 🩷

Thanks!

thank you

fake accounts are getting thousands of followers, and Bluesky has to suspend them manually. I challenge Bluesky not to suspend these accounts if domain verification alone is enough for people. People don’t even look at the username; they just focus on the display name

Umm, Happy Thanksgiving!!??? Thanks for you.

ya love to see it. good work 🤝

as a former pager carrier to a current pager carrier: thank you and I’m sorry

Our hero 🤗

That sounds like a judgment. Leaving out the implied "you" and "should be fixed" and I have no notes. Happy Thanksgiving, Paul. Hope you're well.

Me too Bluesky Servers. Me too

Ah!! I must apologize to my router. Thanks for the info 😬

You're doing a sterling job. Popularity may be a two edged sword. But thank you.

How to delete unwanted followers?

Ah the sweet life of a startup.

Thanks for keeping us informed

Paul!! I need to see all my hot friends selfies. Paul save meeeee

Sir, please give us bookmarks, I'm begging you, I need a way to save 18+ videos..

so sorry that you and your team are having to face this on Thanksgiving... thank you to everyone on your team for your diligence.

Servers probably fell asleep like we do from the tryptophan in turkey

Can someone bring another slice of the pie?

Its all G Paul, we're here despite the teething problems

Servers ate too many carbs.

When you're getting a million new accounts a day, these things happen. I appreciate you working on turkey day!

lol I thought it was my pc

Well make sure they don't get dessert till tomorrow. I don't think they can handle the calories. LOL

We've all made moves and regretted them later.

That extra helping of pie did this..

While missing images are a nuissance, I think at times of temporary overload it is even a good idea to skip images if this helps the servers. No complaints from my side. Blue Sky is growing fast and over thanksgiving probably more people online as well.

We can all relate.

Thank you Paul!

Servers overcooked the turkey

ok...

Good work on keeping things running! When are you going to share with us the hardware stack? Many of us are wanting to geek out on that.

How can images be filtered out? I'm mostly interested in text posts

OK

Remember you put up that out of office message for a reason

All of the #hugops.

Even on bsky's worst day images still load faster here than on Shitter. On normal days it's actually stunning, the difference. Has anybody written something on Bsky's infrastructure? For curious nerds?

Okies np

Burnout is a potential issue with such a rapid (& welcomed) expansion. Fingers crossed, Marcus.

Maaan I haven't noticed anything. I am very impressed by the load I imagine your infra is under. Fair warning I'm gonna find out what magic backend bullshit you guys are doing and I'm gonna copy some of it.

No worries. You guys are great!

✌️

Offer them a job title change from servers to enablers, the morale boost might solve the performance issue.

Thanks for the update, Roger that.

Paul warn the servers not to go for pie

a Bluesky Dev?! Awesome!

Take your time Sir.... Measure twice and cut once. We like you, we'll wait.

Appreciate the transparency 👍

Who is old enough or loves nostalgia to know who that is? I think she had some issues with the vulcan salute during the filming. No complaints from me, just a funny anecdote.

Why does "Invalid Handle" appear next to my name?

you make a good point

Thanks for the updates

We appreciate your efforts!!

I was about to screenshot and send you a post above yours in my feed with a broken image 🫥

Happy Thanksgiving!

Not an American. So I don't do the Thanksgiving thing. I am however grateful for all the people scurrying around in a public holiday trying to fix a problem so other people can skeet Thanks Bluesky peeps

Servers are invited to my house for second thanksgiving tomorrow!

Been at some comparable sites and I feel your pain. Know at least one person sees you.

Yes, even that! I'm enjoying this.

Broken servers made me pregnant thanks

Who among us had not done the same?

It'll shake itself out.

Can they not?
