Victor GeversIn the last 24 hours, 2664 new domain names were registered, which contain the name mastodon.
696 Mastodon servers are running, of which 259 are deployed at DigitalOcean (using the Mastodon Droplet). https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
Maarten den Braber@0xDUDE hmm, only 696 - that's actually less than I expected
@mdbraber 696 that the Observer project detected via domain name registrations, certificates, and subdomain discovery. Since yesterday there is a continuous endpoint scan running on 1.8 billion websites. We can only query based on what is retrieved from publicly available sources and what is within the limit of the hardware and software without breaking it. 🙂
@0xDUDE ah, so you're not using the APIs from instances to find other instances (haven't dug into it but I think there are tools doing that)
@mdbraber Yes. With endpoint detection (and scraping) we can find discover new domains. We are monitoring a lot of TLD mutations but we do not have access to all the zones. So I added/api/v1/instance/peers to the fingerprinting and also getting servers from it since yesterday.
