      Everyone should use FOSS alternatives, but lets not pretend Signal or Matrix don’t go down as well for example. If you mean federated, then that’s another story.

    As Edward Ongweso Jr said:

    “Facebook service outage is really a great data point for the argument that we should not have a global social media platform that dominates multiple lines of communication across various countries and regions.”

      It seems that the root of Facebook’s problem is that someone at FB had deleted their BGP tables from the Internet.

      And they couldn’t get access to reconfigure their BGPs because FB hosts their own DNS servers.

      Basically, they had wiped themselves from the Internet.
