Would you financially support a new effort (of mine) to build and maintain a database of metadata and descriptive statistics about the #Fediverse and other #SocialWeb, #Indieweb, #smallweb, and #p2p networks?
I would serve high-level interfaces to a database of metadata resulting from ongoing automated crawls.
Key goals would include • comprehension of the current state of networks, and • navigation of the breadth of networks based on topic, identity, and technical necessity for ad-hoc needs.

In addition to the crawls and website, I would host a conversational bot on the Fediverse to answer questions about the Fediverse as a whole and help people find people.
this is an evolution of a previous idea I talked about at the last #FediForum.
I would hope that my automated efforts would complement and bolster others' excellent curation efforts, and would hope to collaborate with similar databases. Supporters would have exclusive access to functions, and input to development of features.
