Really? I thought there were only two. How are the small ones able to afford the bandwidth to monitor everything from every PDS?
That's why I said small ones, they don't crawl the entire network.
There is the freeourfeeds one coming soon.
If they don't crawl the entire network then most of the network cannot contact them at all? Which makes it ... not really a network. That's where federation would come in.
It does federate though, federation is multiple nodes in a network cooperating, which they do.
HTTP is a network even though it doesn't (usually) federate.
