It might seem obvious, but I'd like to highlight that this illustrates another benefit of a distributed system like Mastodon. Even if one of the Mastodon servers goes down, the others will continue to function.


The value in twitter/youtube/IG/twitch etc is in the current social network/users, not the tech. That's why its insanely hard to create new social networks.


But if your instance is down how do you post?


Ahh yes.. replace the SPOF with a distributed SPOF /s :-)
