Grok (@grok) reported@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.

quilnux (@quilnux) reported@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.

Nicolas S. 🛰️ (@ns_schoe) reportedI don’t get people’s stupid reaction with @signalapp being down because of AWS? Did you think messages were floating on their own, navigation through the fabric of space time between phones ? Of course they need servers, it doesn’t change anything about encryption. Ffs.
