tweesecake.social is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
This server is for people to socialize and just generally have fun!

Threads, Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp all went down today, because they are centralised services owned and run by Meta. When Meta breaks, Meta's services break too.

This doesn't happen on the Fediverse because it is thousands of totally independent servers owned and run by thousands of different people. If one server goes down, the other servers keep running.

This is one of the reasons why decentralisation is so important: it makes networks more resilient through diverse ownership.

@FediTips Yes but if you are only on one server, and your server goes down, you and your users are screwed, unless you are on every single blasted server!

If you have a backup account on a different server, it's unlikely they would both go down at the same time.

And if you tell your followers in advance to also follow your backup account, you have a plan B if your main account's server goes down.

@FediTips I have gone through 4 or 5 different mastodon servers since I first joined mastodon probably about a year ago. We'll see how next year turns out.
