💬 Subreply This is why Sublevel doesn't use any external services like Amazon S3. Yep, everything here is still up!

👽 Paul Webb I've never understood the reliance on S3 for this very reason.

Martijn S3 allows anyone to make use of a distributed network. The problem is that people didn't use it that way, so when us-east went down a lot of things went down. Apparently AWS status panel was running on us-east-1 (which almost completely went out) leading to much confusion, but don't quote me on that.
