Fediverse didn't have outages :)
Certainly there must be some fediverse servers hosted on AWS.
We're distributed, though. No single point of failure, and I'd imagine many of the instance owners already had an anti-Amazon bent to begin with.
a lot of the issues were around specifically DNS for the managed dynamo DB. fediverse apps typically use postgres, and most people are probably running on a Linux VPS instead of cloud architecture
Yeah, my internet usage is mostly fediverse, word games, and ao3, none of which were affected
Hopefully, Fediverse will become the norm someday.
The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.
The internet started out as a network of like, 7 computers. Then it expanded to millions. Now it seems we are back to 7 again.
