@andre buddy system

ask a buddy to ping your servers if you ping theirs

@risottobias @andre this is quite a nice idea, and following on it makes me wonder why #CrowdPinging is not a thing (I call dibs on the hashtag )

@BinaryUnit @andre

it's mostly "who do you trust to run status.$yourdomain.com"

e.g., I could swear tumblr and twitter used to run each other's status pages.

you could obviously ping someone out of band and say "hey your site is down" on mastodon
