@jskf thank you for spamming the comments

@neon Define spam

@neon you see, people here would like to have some clarity. There are multiple reasonable interpretations of what a major internet outage is. It might be clear to you what exactly you mean but it isn't clear to other participants what interpretation you have in mind. That's why they want clearer resolution criteria and are upset with you. If you want more people to participate, please consider how you can make their experience less frustrating.

@JuJumper I have clarified

@neon No. And if you stay on that trajectory, including misresolutions, you will end up blocked and reported by many users.

can we get some clearer resolution criteria?

1y

@loafenson I believe it is quite clear

1y

@neon is this geographically constrained or just anywhere there could be an internet outage?

1y

@neon It’s not clear. What do you mean by ‘the internet’? Where? Would a Twitter/X outage count? Only global?

1y

@awse globally

@neon So like all internet? I’m not even sure that’s physically possible.

1y

@neon If your criteria is correct (global internet outage by eoy) then that means this market is severely overvalued

@NicoDelon imagine the network splitting in three roughly, you can't access the majority of sites from anywhere. That has to be physically possible idk.

1y

@33cb but is that what the creator means by global outage? No one knows!

1y

@NicoDelon it is. Please do your research, global outages are physically possible - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_outage

@neon Yes, I’m aware, but we’ve been asking you about the scale of the outage and you keep being evasive.

@neon if you're referring to the 1997 incident, the only one under "Worldwide" in the link, it only affected .com and .net domains.

But that's pretty big tbh.

@33cb That and solar storms
