Hi! This is your reminder to generate your own PLC rotation key for your account if you haven’t already.
We have possible significant infrastructure changes somewhere on the horizon in the next few months, and while we don’t expect any outages or data loss, it’s always a good idea to have a backup.

Hi! This announcement is extremely overdue, but the PDS is no longer accepting new signups.
We have no plans of shutting down and all the existing accounts will keep working as they always did, there is no change in that.

(the numbers might not always be up to date, especially since my scanning script is kinda broken rn, but I ran it manually now)

Should be OK from now on, thankfully we didn't have to shut anything down.
Starting at 14:30 JST (5:30 UTC) today, please be ready for temporary PDS outages due to construction work in our building.

this is really cool actually!! now you can try migrating to a third-party PDS (like ours :3) and if you don't like it there - come back to your previous bluesky-hosted PDS!
okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back!
hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network!

planning to do some network restructuring later today, the PDS will be switched over to the backup uplink until it's over
might experience a small blip when changing the networks, and slightly worse performance while on the backup connection, but otherwise it should be ok
will reply here when done
