🚨 Another massive AWS outage just took down Roblox, Fortnite, Coinbase, Snapchat, and all Supercell games.

Half the internet has gone dark because of one Big Tech company. This is not innovation, it is monopoly risk.

💡It’s time to choose alternatives.

@Laurenz0071 @Tutanota Well. it could if too many of us hosted on aws. Nothing is immune. I don't host there. But i do host at Hetzner. I know of several folks who do. If this were a hetzner outage i bet the fediverse would feel it.

What we really need is to bring back a culture of hosting from home. Where ISPs aren't blocking it for profits. if the fedi was a million tiny instances running on raspberry pi's in a million homes around the world... Wouldn't that be something?

It might work for smaller services, but enterprises need scale, compliance, global footprints, predictable SLAs, integrated networking, support…

Unfortunately, distributed/decentralised alternatives like Akash or Storj cannot compete.
Yet.

One day…
