I've been interested in understanding the distribution of PDSes and general 'ecosystem resilience' for a little bit now, and inspired by @billwpierce.co's talk at #ATmosphereConf I made a dashboard I hope can add to the conversation link: atproto.barn.city (served by my macmini so bear with me)

Localized Resilience → Area → Sustainability
Definition → Localized Resilience refers to the capacity of a specific community or geographically defined system to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and recover from disruptive shocks and stresses, such as climate events or economic downturns. This quality is characterized by strong internal social cohesion, diversified local economies, and decentralized resource systems, like local food production or microgrids.

Did a quick write up on the work I've been enjoying to make a PDS distributed. #atproto

willdot.leaflet.pubAccording to @mackuba.eu, blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses hosting atmosphere accounts. fedidb.com, popular software has this many servers: * Mastodon 9116 * Peertube 1529 * Misskey 1154 * Pixelfed 693 * Writefreely 573 * Sharkey 510 * Lemmy 431 * Pleroma 346 * Akkoma 331 Are we decentralized yet?
