relay is a bit bumpy right now. may see some connections dropped. we are working to squeeze out a bit more capacity on the current relay, and have a replacement and other mitigations coming (will post more details soon)
#atproto devs! want to give an early heads up that we have a bunch of relay work in flight: fan-out pseudo-relays, bigger server, and more. these don't touch the wire protocol, but might result in new relay hostnames, and in particular reset cursor values

if you want to chat about something sensitive, you can use Bluesky DMs to exchange contact info, but I would recommend moving the conversation to Signal. Bluesky DMs are private, but they are not (yet) E2EE. Signal is hardened, focused, and does privacy/security best.

we'll probably do a more formal atproto roadmap soon, but what we have been working on most recently: - Auth Scopes (for OAuth), as a new Lexicion declaration - Lexicion resolution (for publishing+discovering schemas) - finishing written specs also thinking about sync/firehose cost+ergonomics
