"The list includes McDonald's, DisneyPlus, Snapchat, Signal, Roblox, Verizon, Fortnite, Venmo, Perplexity, Hulu, Duolingo, Perplexity, Reddit and Coinbase. Even Amazon.com was offline at one point, and some users have also reported that their Alexa smart speakers and Ring doorbells had stopped working.

Banks and even some government websites have been affected"

Major AWS outage across US-East region breaks half the internet

: Amazon reports DNS issues hitting DynamoDB, leaving services from Roblox to McDonald's struggling

Way too many bytes in one basket makes for one very big single point of failure. This is the cost of an absurdly hyper-centralised fast-food-like data center culture.

Signal++ down, sucks, but it's seeing fundamentals like banks & public sector services break that stings most.

But hey, maybe this is what it tales to push more govs to actual #datasovereignty, investing in locally owned data centers or building out their team & hosting on-prem

🗨️ Ce vendredi à 17h30, j'aurai le plaisir de présenter #Libervia à Pas Sage en Seine (#PSES). Libervia va au-delà d'un simple client #XMPP : c'est un écosystème de communication universel, riche en fonctionnalités, respectueux de la vie privée et basé sur un système décentralisé. Parfaitement adapté aux groupes privés, aux messageries internes ou comme réseau social libre. programme.passageenseine.fr/ #logiciellibre #opensource #vieprivée #décentralisation #PSES #Paris

"Mastodon instances should be limited from growing beyond a certain size. Instances that are already too large should have ways of encouraging people to migrate to smaller ones." -- or why you should not toot about your birthday on #Mastodon.

Excellent arguments here by @aral

ar.al/2022/11/09/is-the-fedive…

#decentralisation #SmallWeb

Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)

Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?

@simeon @pavsaund You’ll get no argument on that from me ;) ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-s…

(Apart from perhaps that we should also be looking at designs that aim to make doing what you describe as easy as possible. It’s much easier to set up a system that’s explicitly designed to serve one person than one that is designed to serve 1-100,000 people. The complexity involved is orders of magnitude less in the former.)

Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about: The Small Web.

#Mastodon #federation #SmallWeb #decentralisation #design #SingleTenant #centralisation

Idea: hide the popular servers. Incentivise the ones that are smaller and less popular.

#decentralisation

#decentralisation

Optimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.

A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, it’s a design failure. (It’s a design success in #BigTech.)

CC @Gargron

#decentralisation #centralisation #federation

#Mastodon #federation #decentralisation #bigtech #centralisation @Eugen Rochko

Food for thought: The bigger mastodon.social gets, the less successful the #fediverse is.

Sadly, the fundamental design of Mastodon mirrors the design of Big Tech (a server architecture that can support hundreds of thousands of “users”) and thus inherits its success criteria.

I feel it’s time we at least started thinking about what the web would look like if we all had our own place on it and what it would take to get there from here.

#decentralisation #centralisation #fediverse #SmallWeb

#fediverse #SmallWeb #decentralisation #centralisation

We should not be optimising Mastodon so it can handle more people per server. We should be optimising Mastodon so it incentivises more serves with fewer people.

(And if you take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, you arrive at the idea behind the Small Web: ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-s…)

I’m giving a (virtual) talk on Small Web at the Wizard Amigos Code Camp this Thursday, 5PM Irish time.

I’ll be demonstrating the latest state of development of Kitten (codeberg.org/kitten/app) and Domain (codeberg.org/domain/app) and talking about how we must focus on topological decentralisation and tackle decentralisation from a non-colonial perspective.
