@mms Downdetector-dot-com is crowdsourced I believe, and my hot-take-hypothesis at this point is that a lot of services rely on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure all at the same time, and when one goes down, these services go down as well.
From there it's easy for folks to make incorrect assumptions.

Before anyone mentions how reliable Google Cloud is, here's a massive outage from June this year:

If you're a journalist writing about this Azure outage, don't forget to ask Microsoft how much of their code is "AI-generated".
Satya Nadella claims 30%:

Folks, it's all okay! It was just an inadvertent configuration change [that happened to bring loads of services for millions of users down]. No biggie.

Look, this is the level of professionalism we should expect of Microsoft at this point.
They had a separate global outage of Office 365 (or whatever it's called this week) *this month* already:

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/03/01/microsoft-outages/3061740867107/Not to mention smaller ones, like the one in US-East that prevented admins from accessing the admin center:

@rysiek Next time it’ll be an advertent change, just to keep it fresh.

They should at least reduce the "365" by one, for every outage.

Two price hikes, three major outages…
Microsoft will have to hike the price again just to keep the ratio at 1:1!

@blog There are some other things we've let go of: real name policies, fixed character limits, influencer culture. They're not impossible in the Fediverse, but they don't seem to have picked up so far.

@blog This is a really interesting insight!
I guess I wonder, to what extent does the structure change?
I think from the Fediverse side, we've made a bet that it will remain a structure in which you have connections -- friends, family, colleagues, neighbours -- who receive and respond to updates about your actions and thoughts.
Other parts of current social media, like ads or algorithmic feeds, seems so far to be things we prefer to do without.
