Y'all, this is going to be deeply unsatisfying, but it's what I can report personally:

I have no earthly clue why this thread on our community site is unlisted.

We're looking at the admin UI for it right now, and there's like, a little lock next to do the story, but the "unlist story" option is still there for us to click. The best I can say is: I'm reasonably sure there wasn't some top-down edict to hide this thread (the site is public, anybody can sign up for an account and see the thread).

Say what you want about us, but hiding out from stuff like this isn't one of our flaws. When I find out more about what happened with this thread, I'll let you know (or Kurt will reply here and tell me I'm wrong).

I don't know enough about what happened with this Sydney server to be helpful to people who had instances running on it. When I know more about it, I'll be helpful, but I'm just learning about this stuff right now, after getting back in from a night out.

Almost immediately afterwards

It looks like... all the posts in the app-not-working category are "private"? Like it's some setting on the category itself? "Private" here means you need to have signed up for a Discourse account to see them?

From this my take away is that I could get fired for picking Fly.io for work. Not because there was an outage but because days could pass before getting support.

What assurances could you give the community here that the support would be better next time?

You can/should get fired for picking any plan without proper support guarantees for something serious, regardless of provider.

People here said they have specifically paid for a higher support tier and got no responses.

If you are on paid plan and generally followed proper procedures on picking suppliers then you have no reason to be worried about getting fired.
