I’m not familiar with how Bluesky works, but I bet that if lemmy.world goes down it will feel like Lemmy as a whole is down for a lot of people. Is this similar to that, as in that the major instance went down because of the large influx of users? Somewhat comparable to the influx of Lemmy users from Reddit that we’ve seen? Or is Bluesky not really federated and did it go down as a whole?

A non-political event, eh? Interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/dec/30/eurovision-chief-russia-ban-stands-for-ultimate-values-democracy.
