He grabs blocklists; this is more like general information about an instance.  If you look at it, you can see:  http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/freespeechextremist.com .  It has a lot of statistics:  uptime, what it's running, posts per user.  On instances that share an IP like SPC, it shows what other instances live there:  http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/shitposter.club .  Admins, whether registrations are open or closed, response times, all of that.  It does link to the relevant FBA pages at the bottom of the "Federation Info" section.  And it's got stuff like this:  http://demo.fedilist.com/source-code .

One of the convenient things it has is the aggregate/historical data, so there's all of fedi:  http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/recent-changes .  But there's also per-instance:   http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/recent-changes?host=freespeechextremist.com .  So, like, I have subscribed to the RSS feed for FSE's status changes.  Or the 100 newest instances, too:  http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/newest .

> i know the internet of stuff runs primarily on linux, but do you know what flavor of it? I thought thatd be good to know if i was going to consider cnc training 

IoT stuff usually runs some self-rolled distro, sometimes Android, there are kits for building tiny distros for common boards. 
 @pistolero @Ardainian Right @Christi Junior @Rasterman @313Chris:hellokitty_headbang:  @menherahair @verita84 :Debian_logo: :firefox: :bing: :android: ... @5a3d1553 i saw some if what your talking about i checked out drc what does it mean by "this user has chosen not to be visible"¿ i think thats what it said about all admins but 313. Oddly there was a user labled an admin ive never heard of before too ill need to look into that later he mightve left the instance before me. Tell me howndoes this info help you¿ its all bery impressive but what would one trouble shoot or use this info for i know data is always valuable especially if its refined like this into information

> what does it mean by "this user has chosen not to be visible"¿

There's a link with help text if you click on that.

> there was a user labled an admin ive never heard of before too

Yeah, admins are not cleared, just new ones are fetched.

> Tell me howndoes this info help you¿

Besides the stuff I said?  Like knowing if an instance is down and when it went down is already a very useful feature.  Knowing who the admin or being able to read the about text without having to load a bunch of JavaScript and click around, that's useful:  I wait for one page to load, not for a page to load and then JavaScript to run to draw some links that I click and then wait for another page to load.  What admin to talk to if there is a problem, how fast fedi is growing, etc.  "Wildebeest" was a Cloudflare project to create a "serverless" fedi instance, you could see how many of those exist at http://demo.fedilist.com/instance?q=&ip=&software=wildebeest®istrations=&onion= , for example.  This kind of thing is pretty useful.

> what would one trouble shoot

Well, for one thing, you can see if an instance is up or down or if it's just your connection.  Or like I mentioned with the RSS feed for FSE, I can use that to tell when FSE goes down.  We were able to check the impact of the activitypub forkbomb with it by looking at who had collected peers of that type.  It's hard to tell what anything is going to be useful for before you have it, right? 
 @pistolero @Ardainian Right @Christi Junior @Rasterman @313Chris:hellokitty_headbang:  @menherahair @verita84 :Debian_logo: :firefox: :bing: :android: ... @5a3d1553 thats an astounding point cold data is most useful when you find what you want to meassure. Why are you so invested in the fedi¿ i may hav asked you thzt before but im pretty sire i was either going through a manic episode or pretty hogh so i cant remember if i did for sure ask. It doesnt seem like a commercial interest one could capitalize on so id assume its just the free speech aspect and allowing information to be free¿ dude wildebeest sounds sick¡

> Why are you so invested in the fedi¿

I like it here.  It's open.  Nobody can fuck with it.  I am writing software that will make it even more unfuckwithable.

> It doesnt seem like a commercial interest one could capitalize on

That's one of the reasons it remains fun.

> id assume its just the free speech aspect and allowing information to be free¿

Big component of it.  I can say whatever I want, I can see other people say whatever they want, I can communicate freely, this is important to me.  I think there are people that legitimately want to eliminate that ability, take it away from people.  A great way to ensure that they do not succeed is to make sure that everyone understands the value of that freedom, and the best way to do that is to help them exercise that freedom.

This is more important than commercial interest.  If you end up with all the money but the world in which you have that money is a clown-dystopia, the money isn't worth anything.  I don't think I'm going to completely reform society, but I think if I'd be an idiot if I didn't try to push things in the right direction, to the extent I can.

I prefer to handle my shit rather than worry about an entire race of people, let alone constantly bother someone because they don't have the same opinion on that entire race of people that I have.

 in my defence I was working on that and then everybody's DMs were posted all over the internet and my focus shifted, rightfully so, to security rather than introducing another layer on top
