   This was the original philosophy behind the internet. But then the troons and faggots tried to centralize everything, and now we hear about shit going down at least once or twice a week, when, during the 90s and 2000s, you almost never heard about massive network outages.

     @PunishedD @AshChapelsGhost @marius Also; the great OVH fire of 2021 is why you should never centralize shit.

     @marius Not this frequent. The middle-aged internet could route around damage, whether government censorship or physical trauma. This internet is weak and dying. This isn't what it's supposed to be.

     @AshChapelsGhost @marius Previous outages were single server or site based. Now multiple unrelated sites go down when a cloud service has a hiccup, or when a common login portal breaks. The infrastructure has been consolidated.
     
     That centralization is also enabling censorship and deplatforming. If people aren't spreading out on the fediverse, and a few sites attract enough attention, and they buy hardware or networking from the same company, they can be taken down. Not every site owner will be as tenacious as Null fighting to keep Kiwi Farms up.

     @PhenomX6 @AshChapelsGhost @PunishedD @marius Imagine all the Cuckflare datacenters catching fire, or better yet the main database that controls all the other datacenters.
     Almost the entire clearnet would be down as a result of this.
