we combined data from
http://sp3r4z.fr/mastodon & http://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org

the result is a #green #instances list for the #fediverse with a daily update! the list shows: hostname/instance, location/country, hosting-provider/company and the greencheck by the green web foundation (green or grey)

There is a #coalexitlist by #urgewald, means another database which could be very interesting for our #fediverse project.
Sadly we need to register to use this database, means it's not #opendata as we wish.
The search engine #ecosia uses this #database to show us a small icon that shows websites that support #coal companies.
They also use other organizations to label websites, but there are less information available on these databases.

If you follow us and hope we follow back, in most cases we will!
But if you have something to do with this shitty #gab or other fascist
instances - we will block you!
You're not welcome at the #fediverse and you won't profit from our connection!🖕😘
Otherwise, try to follow us, our blocklist will getting longer and longer! ;)

you are good with APIs or writing scripts? the code of our #greeninstances list could be optimized. how could our list run as energy efficient as possible. which programming language would be the most useful to achieve this? should java script be avoided? this is an open project, everybody can participate and it would be great if we develop further.

#Ökostrombericht 2020: Mehr Transparenz für den Strommarkt - Blog - OKF

"Nicht jeder Ökostrom-Vertrag bietet einen wirklichen Nutzen für Umwelt und Klima! Nur acht von über 1.200 überprüften Anbietern sind nach den #ROBINWOOD-Ökostromkriterien empfehlenswert."

https://www.robinwood.de/oekostromreport

"Verbraucher* und Journalisten* haben es schwer, an adäquate Informationen zu kommen. Hier muss nachgebessert werden - wir fordern mehr Transparenz!"

https://okfn.de/blog/2020/01/mehr-transparenz-fuer-den-oekostrommarkt/

Chris Adams, who works for the #GreenWebFoundation, whose API we use for our #GreenInstances list, gave a very good talk on #36c3.

#GreenFediverse

We are very excited about #robinwood's #Ökostrombericht this month. It's the first detailled list with open data about the real energy mix offered by companies in #germany. First results say that there are 1061 grey energy supplier and 149 who sell only #greenenergy.

This is what we need - a critical list.
We need to fight #greenwashing and #opendata is our weapon!

#greenfediverse 💚

Our dream is a implementation on #joinmastodon and other sites.

The idea is:
While a new #mastodon or #fediverse user is choosing a new community, a little 🌱 could show if a instance is green.

💚 #greenfediverse

If you are not happy with your current #instance because it is not using #renewableenergy, it's possible to migrate your #mastodon account to another instance and backup your old profile without loosing a lot of stuff. (see link below) There are many #greeninstances in the #fediverse you could choose instead. (see our list)

Admins who create new instances might also consider building them as #green instances from the beginning.

Does your #fediverse instance use #renewableenergy?

📌If you are using our green-instances list,
please question the results.
You shouldn't trust the list in general, be critical and start your own research.
You can follow the active external links inside the list, but please, also question them, it's an external database, it's not in our hands.
Also keep in mind that there is a lot of greenwashing out there.
The energy-sector is very complex and intransparent, with less infos, it's mostly capitalist interests and failed certificate-system.

Dear creatures of the #fediverse,
this weekend there is the 36th Chaos Communication Congress #36c3 in Leipzig.
The title of the congress is "resource exhaustion" which means, there will be some interesting talks about green topics.

Check out the "Fahrplan" (timetable):

we also started our first issue on framagit:

#greeninstances

the first (but unprecise) results for our #fediverse:
our script checked 3071 #instances (http://sp3r4z.fr/mastodon/providers) with the green web foundation API.

1027 (33,44%) instances are green (running on servers with renewable energy) 💚

2044 (66,56%) instances are grey
(means: no results, not interested in #sustainability, not able to use or switch + other reasons)

this result fits a bit into the latest data about global #renewableenergy. by the end of 2018 it was more than 26%.
