PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

@Mer__edith Maybe Signal is too dependent on Amazon.

Why put all your eggs in one basket?
You might wanna use some European Web Services in case something like this happens.

@RubenWA Amazon Web Services is a large provider for internet traffic as well.

The outage of one of their main internet traffic 'hubs', us-east-01, seems to be the cause of the current disruptions in internet traffic between the US and Europe.

But yes, decentralising servers for redundancy in case of such disruptions isn't a bad idea.
