Large service degradation at Discord today. A number of upstream consumers are affected, especially games that rely on Discord as a source of Discord-role based access and partying. You'll all get through this! #hugops

Huge admiration for @bonfirestudios.bsky.social and big thanks to @bexsayswords.bsky.social for finding creative ways to let users see and test a early multi-user product, while protecting the delivery pipeline from de-focusing. This can be a real challenge for a team to pull off in *any* dev shop.👏
