Thinking back to last year I remembered the us-east-1 outage, how it affected Signal and how some of the users freaked out that they have to rely on US hyperscalers.

Wouldn't it be useful if @signalapp (and maybe similar providers) published their infra requirements with little crosses and ticks, so alternative providers could aim for "good enough for Signal" service levels?

I'm searching for my boykisser pride flag that I forgot to remove on day 4. In the morning of day 5 it was already gone, and unfortunately L&F doesn't have it. It is marked with my name (bluemedia) and I would be thankful if it found its way back to me!
