@slipstream oh cool-- I don't know PHP at all. Here's my Ruby script: github.com/sts10/masto-counter

I'm thinking of changing it to focus more on secure and open mid-sized instances to help folks find instances to join/suggest to friends?

@schlink There's already a few things for that, tooter.today being one, and I believe something more official (it'll be run by @Gargron ) is being worked on.

@schlink Oops, seems tooter.today isn't HTTPS for whatever reason. There should be no excuses for it these days! :/

@slipstream yes! Excited about those. I'm kind of hoping for something like a choose-your-own-adventure / this linux distribution chooser: distrochooser.de/?l=2

@schlink Aw yiss, beating those decent folk over at Social.Targaryen.house :)

@Mainebot ha yeah I think that was a recent victory
