Serversterben weiß ich nicht.
Auf jedenfalls braucht es eine Vielzahl an diversen institutionalisierten Instanzen, damit das Fediverse langfristig erfolgreich bleibt. IMO

Das können Öffentliche-Rechtliche sein, Vereine, Gruppen etc pp... Möglichst divers. Klar auch Privatpersonen die sich alleine um eine Instanz kümmern soll es auch weiterhin geben. Nur eben im Verhältnis zu anderen Organisationsformen etwas weniger.

@christian @fediverseobserver I am pretty sure this is mostly due to the statistic bots pinging servers when they are temporarily down. If you ping all 20k servers there are bound to be 10 or 20 that are in the procsess of upgrading or something is up at any one time, and then they report that as dead. I have tried to look up these dead servers a number of times and seen that they were actually alive by the time I checked...

This reminds me that I once saw a low uptime percentage for one of my servers on https://instances.social although my server had an excellent uptime in reality.

Bulk measuring availability seems to be hard. I did open a trouble ticket there, and others did the same, e.g. https://github.com/TheKinrar/instances/issues/72 https://github.com/TheKinrar/instances/issues/153

Discovery of new instances was broken for a while: https://github.com/TheKinrar/instances/issues/120

Maybe @fediverseobserver has similar problems.

@christian @fediverseobserver I just noticed recently some people are doing a rewrite of https://the-federation.info at https://codeberg.org/thefederationinfo/next/issues
