GreenFediverse: Difference between revisions

The project emerged from discussions in Fediverse in 2019. The discussions focused on digitization, climate change, the environmental sustainability of social networks, data centers and their energy consumption. It all started in 03/2019 with the mastodon-account [https://chaos.social/@greenfediverse GreenFediverse]. In the beginning the community around the project created some manually edited lists: [https://lite.framacalc.org/greenfediverse-instances old instances list] and a [https://lite.framacalc.org/green-webhosting green webhoster list]. In 2020 [https://mastodon.social/@attac_hl @attac_hl] worked on the technical realization of [https://chaos.social/@moagee moagee]'s idea of a [https://greenfediverse.frama.io/green-instances/ new green instances list] and combined the databases from [https://sp3r4z.fr/mastodon/ Mastostats] and The [https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/green-web-feed/ GreenWebFoundation] for the first time. In 2021 [https://digitalcourage.social/@aligyie @aligyie], created a [https://lite.framacalc.org/green-webhost-ranking green webhost ranking] which is still in use. In 05/2022 the fediverse instances database changed again, from [https://the-federation.info/ the-federation.info] to [https://nodes.fediverse.party/ nodes.fediverse.party] provided by [https://functional.cafe/@minoru Minoru]. Since the beginning, the project has been coordinated by [https://chaos.social/@moagee @moagee]. [https://digitalcourage.social/@aligyie @aligyie] and [https://chaos.social/@moagee @moagee] are still working on the project, coding with contributors from the fediverse community or researching and filling the database with additional information.
