Comment on Bluesky April 2026 Outage Post-Mortemparent

That's because TCP/IP is a protocol, not a (centralized or decentralized) server. A protocol cannot go down. It can trigger failures, it can be abused, but it cannot go down.

It's like saying "English never burns". Sure, you can't burn English but you can burn specific books, newspapers and so on.

That's... literally the point I just made in my reply?

Right but that's kind of meaningless, saying the nostr protocol never goes down, because the AT Protocol didn't go down in this bluesky case either. Protocols don't "go down". Stuff making use of protocols does.
