@mer__edith I love @signalapp and would love to see it more resilient. As it is a solved problem to send encrypted private messages using crypto rails, Signal app could degrade to "crypto mode" in case of server unavailability. It would not be a free service, but the user could be willing to pay for this safety net, if needed. Is it a bad idea @mer__edith ?

@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 "End-to-end encrypted" "No servers can read your messages" Also: "We're offline because the cloud is broken" Thanks Amazon Web Services.

@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.

@0xCAFAD @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp The people who use Molly-FOSS on AOSP devices will be able to confirm if their messaging worked or was still broken.

@taltalon @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp This was a world-wide outage so multi-region wouldn't have helped. Multi-provider might be a solution but personally companies need to just stop using cloud and go back to on-prem data centers and solutions.

@taltalon @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp If you can't launch an EC2 instance, multi-az is not going to help.
