And they are back up (at least for me, India). I hope it was not a push on Friday evening or worse "after EoD".
Probably a push on Friday morning on the US West Coast...
WhatsApp Down in Some Regions

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
This comes from from someone who enjoys the convenience of centralized services, but that honestly sounds to me like an argument for decentralization of mobile notifications too, not a refutation of the idea of decentralized messaging.
"We" can't decentralize notifications on iOS, only Apple can. It's not in their interest to do so (battery life, platform brand control via censorship), so it's probably a moot point. It's better to choose a fight you can win.
This comes from someone typing this on an iPhone, but that sounds like an argument to drop this goddamn walled garden/prison. I’m literally sick of it.

You also can't use an iPhone without it constantly sending usage information to a half dozen different teams/departments at Apple, even if you've opted out of analytics, so there's that, too. I think I've bought my last iPhone, as well, after having had all of them.

#114There's a broader outage somewhere, and I've had degraded service on Google Meet today. Thought it was my speed, but speedtest.net is down too! https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/speedtest.net
I agree, the landing page of this post ( https://xn--allestrungen-9ib.de ) shows that almost all services are affected.
