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, and is shown to the city; for a server behind a CDN, only the CDN is shown, since the address is the CDN's.
