I was wondering if there exists a platform similar to Downdetector or Down For Everyone Or Just Me (downforeveryoneorjustme.com), but specifically designed for the Fediverse and utilizing ActivityPub?
These platforms allow users to check if a website is down or if it’s a personal connectivity issue.
- Downdetector (https://downdetector.com/):
is a tool that aggregates reports of outages across various services (e.g., internet, social media, streaming platforms) to help users determine if an issue is widespread or isolated.
- Down For Everyone Or Just Me (https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/):
is a simple service that checks if a website is down for everyone or just the person trying to access it.
If such a platform does not exist for the Fediverse, should we consider creating one?
It would be INCREDIBLY useful for monitoring instance(platform uptime and diagnosing connectivity issues within our community.
Unfortunately, I personally lack the time, energy, and motivation to initiate this project, but I believe it could be a valuable resource for all of us.
If anyone is interested in developing such a service, I personally believe that it could enhance our overall Fediverse experience EXPONENTIALLY.
