Flippin' 'eck, Tucker!Meanwhile, because Mastodon server admins are all cheapskates and we're not going to pay the sort of prices for hosting that AWS charge, the Fediverse keeps on chugging away happily while the corporate internet falls apart.
Michal Špondr@losttourist Thousands of Mastodon instances run on masto.host, which uses French data centers OVH. So if OVH goes down instead of AWS, the result will be similar.
(╯°□°）╯︵(\ .o.)\@michal @losttourist Same goes for Hetzner, especially for the German speaking part of the Fediverse 😄 It's a self-imposed risk because we're all so cheap and are doing this in our spare time, but I don't know if that makes it any better.
George BCheck out the service providers graph in https://fedidb.com/stats
No one provider has a majority of servers which is pretty good (don't know how that breaks down by active accounts per service provider though)
