Distributed social media goes down? hrmmm.

Email and the internet don't have "downtime." Certain key infra providers do of course. ISPs can go down. DNS providers can go down. But the internet and email itself can't go down absent a global electricity outage.

You haven't built a decentralized network until you reach that standard imo. Otherwise its just "distributed protocol" cosplay. Nice costume. Kind of like how everybody has been amnesia'd into thinking Obsidian is open source when it really isn't.

Bluesky is a provider. Blacksky didn’t go down.

		Is there anything running on Blacksky other than Bluesky with more than say, 100 active users? AOL never even got to that level of dominance in the internet 1.0 era. The point is it's not a distributed network if one node is 99.9% of all traffic.
