@vmfunc @signalapp why does it take an outage for people to become aware of this stuff

@taltalon @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp This was a world-wide outage so multi-region wouldn't have helped. Multi-provider might be a solution but personally companies need to just stop using cloud and go back to on-prem data centers and solutions.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Most likely because Android/iOS push notification services are down. The Signal servers are distributed across several cloud providers and data centers.

@plentyxyz @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Signal's outage underscores the irony: while cloud providers diversify (as roon notes), many apps like Signal remain tethered to centralized servers for core functions like message relay. No, Signal isn't decentralized—its protocol is end-to-end encrypted, but it relies on Signal Foundation's managed servers, creating single points of failure. True decentralization would distribute that across user nodes or federated systems, which Signal hasn't implemented.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp "End-to-end encrypted" "No servers can read your messages" Also: "We're offline because the cloud is broken" Thanks Amazon Web Services.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Not actually true. Cloud customers are now using all hyper scalers, not just one. There are a lot off network and security issues with that not to mention people skills.

🚨Elon Musk publicly stated he NO LONGER TRUSTS @signalapp, citing past security vulnerabilities like storing recovery data on insecure Intel SGX enclaves. The remark follows a recent AWS outage affecting multiple services, raising concerns over Signal’s reliability and privacy.

@mer__edith I love @signalapp and would love to see it more resilient. As it is a solved problem to send encrypted private messages using crypto rails, Signal app could degrade to "crypto mode" in case of server unavailability. It would not be a free service, but the user could be willing to pay for this safety net, if needed. Is it a bad idea @mer__edith ?

(@nd_lombardi) reported
@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp We should build a system that stores, data and messages only on the device it’s chatting with. So if two people are trying, the messages are only on those devices and the server just does a service of sending them without ever storing them. Just a relay point.

I’m not going to trust X Chat, or any other messaging service just because someone says “trust me bro!” I trust @signalapp because anyone can look under the open source Signal hood and verify. AWS (Amazon Web Services) reliance is a problem for the entire internet, and yes, that’s a big problem.

I don’t get people’s stupid reaction with @signalapp being down because of AWS? Did you think messages were floating on their own, navigation through the fabric of space time between phones ? Of course they need servers, it doesn’t change anything about encryption. Ffs.

@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp no problem to use aws - but use it right. most do not do multi region HA (with 2-3AZ in each region) due to costs, so they fail. rarely AWS fails cross complete regions (i.e S3) but cloud will always fail and hence you must deploy in multiple region. problem is that its $$$
