It's really disappointing that they made this forum thread private, apparently in response to this HN thread blowing up. This is the first negative HN thread I've seen about them, it's not even really that bad because this kind of downtime is expected, and they can't get to every forum post, and their response that someone posted here is totally reasonable in my opinion.

So why is the link to the thread 404ing and why does this post have to link to google webcache of it? I've grown to like fly.io and use them for my side projects now, and this just isn't sometime they would do. Going through some minor cognitive dissonance right now :/

(a) Not even close to the first negative HN thread about us.

(b) We definitely didn't make the thread private in response to HN.

(c) It should be public again.

Status pages are usually for marketing purposes.

Why would anyone want to become a new customer if all they see is jumble of green, yellow and red?

Green status pages attract business.

thanks for sharing your opinion, but I was looking for a reply from someone inside fly.io
