@steve I guess if you want to avoid that kind of failure mode altogether, you need a fully or mostly P2P model like SSB or Nostr. But every system has its downsides… My original post was simply a light-hearted parody of Paul Frazee's post, intended to highlight that the Fediverse isn't susceptible to outages as a whole in the way that Bluesky is. Of course individual nodes can go down, but the rest of the network isn't affected, it will never all go offline at once.
