Servers, never people
This server keeps statistics about the fediverse for teaching and curiosity. They name servers, never accounts: what kind of software a server runs, what it exchanges with us, and how reliably. Distinct accounts are only counted, through a key that is destroyed at the end of each day.
A server we exchange activities with is described once a week, from its public NodeInfo and, when it has one, its Mastodon instance API. Its location comes from the address we reached, looked up in an offline database: only the country is shown publicly for small servers, and only the CDN for servers behind one.
