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)

the list:
https://greenfediverse.frama.io/green-instances/

ideas and participation welcome!
the script can be found here: https://framagit.org/greenfediverse

Is anyone here willing to invest some time to set up a IP geolocation and ASN lookup service for our #GreenFediverse Database?
See toot and git:
https://chaos.social/@greenfediverse/104525385800661687

❔ Who can help?

"... as a first step, we should find a way to determine the location and hosting provider of all instances. This would help immensely in making an own judgement about the "greenness" of an instance. Unfortunately, API-access to geolocation and ASN information is usually only commercially available."

List is working again!
The new list now works with fem.social
and will update weekly. Thanks to @clerie!
We also talked about a reject-list, which we directly integrated. Google, Cloudflare and Amazon servers are now on this list, also with further explanation for those who are interested. Thanks goes to @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo for the critical input!
The classification is still coming from
the Green Web Foundation!
Take a look:

this project from 2018 is very interesting. it's a visualization of the mastodon hashtag network.
https://lucahammer.at/vis/fediverse/2018-08-30-mastoverse_hashtags/
a green fediverse instances visualization could also look very nice!
if someone is searching for a new project, it's just an idea.

The instances list on https://masto.dryusdan.fr/ which we used for our updating list isn't available any longer.
Is there an alternative list of Masto instances?
See issue:
https://framagit.org/greenfediverse/green-instances/-/issues/2

Updates of the green instance list are stuck and at the moment a daily update is not available!

HELP needed!
Here is the issue:

The project is on GitLab now!

Great to be part of it! 💚

in december we made a simple calculation.
there were 1027, 33,44% instances using servers with renewable energy.
today, there are 972 green instances, means 36,5% of all listed.

keep in mind: it's just a unprecise dataset and there are still big grey instances which move the total consumption results towards grey - so it's less than 36,5%.

by the way: the next month we will work on the list and modify the script to get better and more critical results. this will be a challenge!

Can you help answer this question?

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.
