Hi, journalists and others! We had a video/image outage for a couple of hours yesterday, and I'm curious what you feel Bluesky could be doing better to communicate in situations like this. Where is it most natural to look for information? What info do you need and how quickly/often? Thank you!

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here.
I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!
