🚨 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.
@Tutanota 100% true.
We're in the process of moving to a local provider that's 100% solar and entirely here.
@Tutanota aliens have taken over. Run for your coins. I mean for your life.
@Tutanota oh Amazon smh. Amirite? #AntiTrust , #AntiTrustlawsandcompetition
@Tutanota funny how all of them use the same region, maybe for costs?
@Tutanota i think Medium is affected too... 😟
@Tutanota Got the message and I agree. But maybe you should have chosen better examples for the services that went down. For me and many others, we would gain if all those just vanish to never return 😅
@Tutanota abandon the internet. It’s dead.
@Tutanota and here I was happily emailing people on #Thunderbird and making designs on #Penpot and #Inkscape to share via #XMPP, at which point I remembered to catch up on discussions on #Loomio, and got roped into drafting a manifesto on #Cryptpad, all while blissfully unaware of the chaos going on until I opened #Newsflash and read about it all on the #RSS feeds that I synchronise via #NextCloud, at which point I decided to head over to talk about it with the world thanks to #ActivityPub!

@Tutanota Fediverse on the air :)
@Tutanota It's time indeed. Also, practice what you preach: https://mastodon.nl/@bartknubben/115405952355774794
@Tutanota it’s interesting.. when browsing the web for my personal things, I don’t think I would have even recognized it because most of the stuff I use is relatively small and distributed. As soon as i started working today, however, nothing worked anymore, since all those companies host on AWS 😵
See if a site is down here: https://downdetector.com/
@Tutanota i have no idea how to read these curves
@Tutanota It's nice to see that downdetector.com has a Brazilian version too:
@Tutanota there are several alternatives to this service.
One that I use is

@Tutanota down detector seems to work based on user reports and maybe more and its not the most reliable thing for smaller outages. It falsely claims things are down all the time. At least from what I have seen.
@hariprakashj Thanks for your feedback. :)
@Tutanota couldn't happen to the Fediverse thanks to decentralization. 
@Tutanota also todoist, and reddit struggles here but im not sure if its because of that
@Tutanota
Oh, so that's why I can't get the data for the weekly report.
@Tutanota and signal, even 🙂
