She said thanks it's already saved her life (holding the servers up with duct tape, in retrospect not a great idea)

Not shut down, just switched to HTTP based verification using a file on your site instead of the DNS system. We had to deprecate the old DNS system unfortunately. Sent out emails but apparently not everyone got them, apologies.

You may have not got the email, we had to deprecate the DNS version of the verifier. The HTTP based one works now so you can use the .well-known/ file and upload the verification from bluesky directly on your web site. Sorry about the issues here.

No problem, sorry about the delay and issues. The old purger worked beautifully for 100k sites but was starting to strain at 1 million sites. It was also a "fire and forget" design, the new one is stream based with a message queue, so it's more accountable and is less likely to miss purge jobs.

Also wanted to dispel a rumor: it was never an issue with DNS or how busy a site is, it was always the purger. The purger doesn't use DNS.

If for some reason a purge doesn't happen, try changing the file slightly (add a space, etc.) and saving it. But this tempfix shouldn't be necessary anymore. 🤞
