Blame your users instead of your business partners
How can users be blamed for an aws outage?
Or do you mean that reddit was broken before too but now nobody can get affected by it?The message “You broke reddit” is directly blaming the users, as if a server-side issue was caused by someone trying to use the site.
Ohhhhhhh, i didnt get that
Tank youYeah bad wording on my part, sorry for the confusion !
Holy crap, looking to be pissed off much?
Screeching at a 503 not being accurate? 🤣👌👍
Reddit broke Reddit.
Reddit is fascist. Prove me wrong.
I hate how it blames me and shows me their dumb little alien I didn’t fuckin do it
What happened?
AWS outage
Tragic that a few services I use rely on AWS. Even those that are FOSS and as ethical as possible.
All of my self-hosted services are apparently safe, but things like multiplayer gaming on all console platforms, my energy provider, IMDB, and most likely all my local grocery stores for payment or online shopping, any data banks that run on AWS like TMDB, TVDB or individual Linux repositories, and the UK government has a partnership with Amazon.
IMO if Lemmy or any other fediverse programme became mainstream, it would become as rubbish as mainstream anti-social media. Corporations and bots would take over and bring all their putrid online-behaviours with them. I am happy to have found a community of sane, normal people. Not ragebaiting, not botting, not constantly advertising their Dropship trash from Alibaba, not screaming constantly into a camera because that’s what kids like, but rather being actually social on social media. I am happy about lemmy and the fediverse and I want it to stay an insider’s tip.
Disagree. The technology behind the fediverse is designed to prevent this. No matter how big one instance is or how much resources they have, they can never control anything more than their own server and users can federated and defederate as they wish.
Te technology Is not really designed to prevent that, it is designed to be decentralised. Now, email is decentralised but everyone uses Gmail.
Imagine Reddit closes and everyone from there flocks into lemmy. Will small instances stand the influx? Will single maintainers with a small server allow 10 million new users in their instance? Most likely not, either they will limit subscriptions or they’ll close down.
As such the most likely thing to happen is that someone with money opens a big instance which can host all those people. And there, you got Reddit exactly as it was.
There is a “big main instance” effect that seems to form unfortunately
And the barrier to transferring instances is quite high
I think that it’s still vulnerable to the explore expand exterminate model. Look at what Facebook threads is doing, same thing. They are slowly but surely infesting the fediverse like a cancer that grows, eventually killing the host by sucking its vital resources away.
Reddit deserves it, sadly
Can I take a shit in its disabled mouth and laugh while it chokes to death?
