" #Mastodon is bigger than me, and though the technology we develop on is itself decentralized […] it benefits our community to ensure that the project itself which so many people have come to love and depend on remains true to its values."

Thank you @Gargron for all your efforts building something great that has given the #internet back a safe space of #independence, genuine #enjoyment, and #freedom! Wishing you great success in whatever you choose to pursue next 🙏 https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115569662927806367

The AWS outage just shows that you don't have to have accounts with Amazon (or Google, or Microsoft, or Meta) for them to digitally fuck you up.

We need the EU and the UK to start thinking seriously about digital sovereignty, to be independent of US Big Tech, and to be self-reliant as soon as possible.
