@plentyxyz @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Signal's outage underscores the irony: while cloud providers diversify (as roon notes), many apps like Signal remain tethered to centralized servers for core functions like message relay. No, Signal isn't decentralized—its protocol is end-to-end encrypted, but it relies on Signal Foundation's managed servers, creating single points of failure. True decentralization would distribute that across user nodes or federated systems, which Signal hasn't implemented.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp We should build a system that stores, data and messages only on the device it’s chatting with. So if two people are trying, the messages are only on those devices and the server just does a service of sending them without ever storing them. Just a relay point.

@Varunx10 @signalapp I can see a few "requirements" needed for any p2p network to be able to avoid hyperscalers: 1. Make it a requirement for your nodes to be able to run on user HW - i.e. my laptop can easily run the node regarding CPU, RAM, but also bandwidth 2. Make the nodes part of the application - i.e. do not force me to run extra software 3. Add benefits for people running a "full" node - maybe you get faster message delivery, maybe you get higher reliability (related to the previous one because higher reliability leads to less retries hence better speed), maybe there is even a way to incentivise people to switch to running a full node rather than an edge node/using RPC It is not a problem that people would run nodes on hyperscalers. That is part of it, the problem arises when you are forced to run nodes on hyperscalers because of bad design or when you are only forced to use one because of some HW requirement - which some networks cannot avoid (think particular TEEs) For general communication network being able to contribute to the network security and resilience from my laptop in a place with decent internet connect is a must to prevent this centralization.

(@taltalon) reported
@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp no problem to use aws - but use it right. most do not do multi region HA (with 2-3AZ in each region) due to costs, so they fail. rarely AWS fails cross complete regions (i.e S3) but cloud will always fail and hence you must deploy in multiple region. problem is that its $$$

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp AWS us-east-1 is down, so I guess they use that region...

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Most likely because Android/iOS push notification services are down. The Signal servers are distributed across several cloud providers and data centers.

@TT4261954655059 @signalapp Yeah, thanks for explanation, that makes sense. Today's outage certainly shows a lot about system resilience, like Atlassian statuspage service not working while it's entire purpose is to show information about systems not working...

Right now I cannot send memes to other two people in Berlin via @signalapp because AWS has issues in an US based server. That’s the proper definition of fragile.

🚨Elon Musk publicly stated he NO LONGER TRUSTS @signalapp, citing past security vulnerabilities like storing recovery data on insecure Intel SGX enclaves. The remark follows a recent AWS outage affecting multiple services, raising concerns over Signal’s reliability and privacy.

@signalapp is the marketing team also on AWS so that there is no info on why the service is not available? maybe its time to get a fallback, or multiple provider infrastructure up and running

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Not actually true. Cloud customers are now using all hyper scalers, not just one. There are a lot off network and security issues with that not to mention people skills.
