PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Only because my daughter stopped working for Amazon > gotto be related 💥
Allow for privately hosted backup servers like nostr:nprofile1qqsygwfllr9zrmw63el9zz3d3there4hrlecj6dxnv6ky9dlks46cxgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9ua3jglt does
Or switch to something like Keet. Both would be better than relying on AWS
No servers for keet to go down
we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at p2pwins@nostrcheck.me, over a period of 2 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
Signal uses AWS, 🤔
I think nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04acppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0l2sp3z fixes this. Hopefully soon.

Don't use AWS! Use #Nostr instead!
Thank you for updating us on this matter here at nostr!
Its a bridge, the post is from mastodon
Then I would like to thank her for having a bridge! :-)
Nostr is working pretty well though
Today we learnt who uses AWS
Stop using centralized servers 🤷
Dear nostr:npub1vt77trskt354dp399cjals20cegwf7tkjgj08gpwx4s46v3wxssq8y5vdp with marmot protocol you can move signal down the censorship risk gradient by distributing who hosts the signal service

Nostr keys are used to authenticate user sub keys, a decentralized authentication service.
Akash Network. Deploy Kubernetes apps on 50+ providers and you can fund with bitcoin. It’s not directly on bitcoin rails, but a hell of a lot better than Amazon. It’s open source, so nothing is preventing someone from forking and making bitcoin the native payment.
simplex working
NOSTR.... 
Nostr is pretty cool isn’t it
PoW solves the Byzantine fault. There is no way you can ensure a concerted effort of groups when a system has Byzantine fault. Money is just a prime example and use case.
hey -- we want to send you a test zap, but couldn’t find a NIP-05 or ⚡ lightning address on your profile. u can set one up for free on rizful https://rizful.com ... then pls reply here and we will do a test zap.
Keets never on AWS or any server so can't go down.
Keets also better than signal for files, faster with no size limits and uses no phone number or email and has no size limits on groups
None of you see the obvious elephant in the room?…
