It would really be helpful to have a database of data about performance and other attributes of mastodon servers, to make choosing a server easier. It kinda defeats the purpose of having servers run by non-commercial progressive interests WHEN USERS CANT FIND THESE SERVERS. Users have a right to know uptime, view count, backup policy, etc. Most Mastodon servers operate in secrecy, NOT DISCLOSING THIS BASIC INFO TO THEIR USERS. And this is different from Facebook / twitter how? At least with Twitter we know that an incompetent musk is wheeling servers into moving vans. With Mastodon servers we have no idea.

18,000 instances with some metrics, but you need to know how to import HTML into a spreadsheet to use it.
