I wrote a bot that parses the current #Mastodon instances and assigns them to the respective #ASN (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN).

Interesting is the concentration on a few top ASN. Here for example the 10 most frequent ASNs as Pie Chart (as of 11/25/2022).

❤️ Thanks to @TheKinrar for the nice API for receiving the current mastodon instances.

hi, thanks for describing your media. Sadly though in this case, it... doesn't help. I still have no idea what the actual data is. :(
