Every time there is an outage like #cloudflare or #aws I see people talking about the (in)dependence of the fediverse. But did someone actually look into on what hosters etc. the fediverse relies on?
If not let's coordinate that below this toot. Boost to get more people on board.
To get all the fediverse servers I found the following possible sources:
https://instances.social/list/advanced
https://fediverse.observer/list
https://fedilist.com/instance?q=&ip=&software=®istrations=&onion=
maybe not that easy to get the data:
What we need now is a way to check the hoster an IP adress is using, any good ideas on how to?
Ok, here is what i found:

https://github.com/nccgroup/cloud_ip_ranges (fetches from sources)
https://github.com/devanshbatham/ip2cloud (last commit 2y ago)

IP data source:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/aws-ip-ranges.html (official AWS)

That's enough for today from me, I am tired. Everyone is welcome to continue this!
(would be so cool waking up to a finished graph tomorrow 😊 , but that's unrealistic I guess)
Well I just stumbled upon an article doing what I planned to do: https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/who-hosts-the-fediverse-instances
