The whole of Meta/Threads/IG down? 🤷
Well, I'm not saying that's what you get with a centralized service but uh...
...that's what you can get with a centralized service 
The #Fediverse exists of thousands of servers spread over the whole planet, all managed and hosted by mostly different people 
There's a very slim chance all of that will go down at the same time 
I could better say..
"Half the internet down?" 
what a mess
@stux “The #Fediverse exists of thousands of servers”
… mostly hosted on AWS or the other two.
@glow still, a lot are not 😉 or even spread sooo yeah
chances are a load smaller
@stux
Don't *you* own/host about half of the Fedi instances? 😉
I'll get my coat...
Yeah, I guess that's about the same as "half" - when you want to say "a lot". 😁
Except if our Japanese kiddies built a worm that would quickly federate.
Saying "it can't be done" are famous last words...
See! Here I am, boosting your post! Not down at all.
@stux I am sure no Meta fan (or user...) but the problems seem to have only impacted some users. With over 3 billion users it is a simplification to state 'centralized', imo. This is a massiv cluster network spanning over the globe with 10s of thousands of machines. I mean it's not like these services run on one crappy server.
> There's a very slim chance all of that will go down at the same time
If someone finds a content injection attack that takes down or disables a server, it would be rather easy to build a worm that propagates it everywhere that doesn't defederate in time.
In thank you that you were not thrown offline by an owned service designed from day one to treat users like "morons" as Zuck calls his guests, donate to your server today.
How much? As much as you've tipped in a restaurant that month. Rule of thumb.
