Fediverse didn't have outages :)
Certainly there must be some fediverse servers hosted on AWS.
We're distributed, though. No single point of failure, and I'd imagine many of the instance owners already had an anti-Amazon bent to begin with.
a lot of the issues were around specifically DNS for the managed dynamo DB. fediverse apps typically use postgres, and most people are probably running on a Linux VPS instead of cloud architecture
Yeah, my internet usage is mostly fediverse, word games, and ao3, none of which were affected
Hopefully, Fediverse will become the norm someday.
