PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

This is great! Hopefully will shake people up to diversify their communication channels!
Allow for privately hosted backup servers like @SimpleX Chat does
Signal uses AWS, 🤔
Or switch to something like Keet. Both would be better than relying on AWS
I think @White Noise fixes this. Hopefully soon.

Major AWS outage brings down much of the web
Perplexity, Snapchat, Fortnite, Airtable, Canva, Amazon, Slack, and more
Signal uses AWS?????????????
Don't use AWS! Use #Nostr instead!
Thank you for updating us on this matter here at nostr!
Nostr is working pretty well though
I was wondering the exact same thing
It's only when the centralised clouds go down we truly know who is effected.
Today we learnt who uses AWS
Stop using centralized servers 🤷
Already here mate ✊👤

Dear @npub1vt77...5vdp with marmot protocol you can move signal down the censorship risk gradient by distributing who hosts the signal service

Akash Network. Deploy Kubernetes apps on 50+ providers and you can fund with bitcoin. It’s not directly on bitcoin rails, but a hell of a lot better than Amazon. It’s open source, so nothing is preventing someone from forking and making bitcoin the native payment.
you better #NDN duh.

Oops!
Then I would like to thank her for having a bridge! :-)
Thank @Alex Gleason
Nostr keys are used to authenticate user sub keys, a decentralized authentication service.
NOSTR.... 
Nostr is pretty cool isn’t it
PoW solves the Byzantine fault. There is no way you can ensure a concerted effort of groups when a system has Byzantine fault. Money is just a prime example and use case.
Keets never on AWS or any server so can't go down.
Keets also better than signal for files, faster with no size limits and uses no phone number or email and has no size limits on groups
Skip both go keet
No servers for keet to go down

Thanks @Alex Gleason !
None of you see the obvious elephant in the room?…
we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at p2pwins@nostrcheck.me, over a period of 2 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
