Have just been editing this page to format it correctly, and while doing so came to exactly the same conclusion. This page would be a lot of work to maintain, would frequently contain out-of-date and inaccurate information because of the fluid nature of the pod base, and we would be better served by linking to [http://podupti.me/Pod Uptime], [https://diasp.eu/stats.html Diasp.eu stats] and [https://diapod.net/active/ Active pods].
We could do with more general info on how to choose a pod, how to work out whether a particular pod is suitable for you and whether you can trust the podmin, as this is still quite opaque for the general user, but these three live pages are better than a static list of pods.
This page does give some information that isn't contained in those other pages, however, so it may be worth seeing if some of this information could be incorporated into Pod Uptime, for example. --[[User:Goob|Goob]] ([[User talk:Goob|talk]]) 12:44, 26 June 2013

Not only because MediaWiki makes it hard to embed external images, I think we should just drop the list and let this page just redirect the people to the ranking sites. --MrZYX (talk) 07:32, 24 June 2013 (PDT)

Have just been editing this page to format it correctly, and while doing so came to exactly the same conclusion. This page would be a lot of work to maintain, would frequently contain out-of-date and inaccurate information because of the fluid nature of the pod base, and we would be better served by linking to Uptime, Diasp.eu stats and Active pods.

We could do with more general info on how to choose a pod, how to work out whether a particular pod is suitable for you and whether you can trust the podmin, as this is still quite opaque for the general user, but these three live pages are better than a static list of pods.

This page does give some information that isn't contained in those other pages, however, so it may be worth seeing if some of this information could be incorporated into Pod Uptime, for example. --Goob (talk) 12:44, 26 June 2013
