Unpopular opinion: the silver lining in server outages is that they pull the curtain & reveal some hard truths about who is really behind some services we use... especially stuff we think are alternatives to Big Tech (spoiler: maybe they aren't).

Today's Amazon's AWS outage took out #Signal in some areas: https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115405436746725236

Oh my, is this time to convince my family & friends to move to Matrix? 🥲
