Signal was just one of many services brought down by the AWS outage.

    @[email protected] here you go, two lists of European alternative cloud providers:

    • https://european-alternatives.eu/category/cloud-computing-platforms
    • https://europeancloudproviders.com/

    AWS might’ve been necessary 10 years, maybe even 15 years ago, but things have changed. Not everything is AWS, Google, Azure anymore. Multi-cloud also exists. (And maybe hiring outside of the US could also help).

      Nevermimd that signal’s centralisation makes it vulnerable to this kind of outage, and that was a conscious design decision. So nobody should be surprise this has happened.
