Bluesky is having some issues in one of its 'reginos'

Bluesky is once again having a wobble. The platform says some of its systems are down and that it’s “investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos” (that’s Bluesky’s typo, not mine). The issue appears to have started at 1:42AM ET and was still persisting as of 11AM.According to Bluesky’s status page, three servers were down, including one based in the US East region. The outages appear to be due to connection timeout issues. It seems that only certain users are being affected. Bluesky has been mostly working fine for me this morning, though there were a couple of occasions when I had to refresh the page to get my feed to load. The social media service had another brief outage earlier this month.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget. [...]
