Bluesky is down (at least for me)
I noticed bluesky is down.
I haven't seen news about this yet so I wonder if it is just a temporary tech problem or a DOS.
I'm getting this error or an error about rate limiting:
Hmm, some kind of issue occurred when contacting the feed server. Please let the feed owner know about this issue.
Message from server: Upstream server responded with a 503 error
They posted something saying they are having some intermittent outages and pointed users to their status page: https://status.bsky.app
The Bluesky site still appears to be accessible for me up here in Ontario Canada, but it does seem to be having some issues in various spots around the US. See:

Seems up for me but the app did think all of my notifications from a month ago were new. Hmm
It's been fairly flaky when I've checked it from the UK today. When I first noticed roughly co-insides with the first spike of reports on down detector.
So the site is for up for me (here in the DC area). Though I did note that clicking on some of my feeds briefly produced a "Forbidden" error message. But reloading made it go away. I am seeing recent posts. Like within the last few minutes.
In Ottawa, Ontario here, and Bluesky is down for me.
