If anybody is interested, using Fediverse Observer I just pulled this - Mastodon servers, filtered by Active Users.

While, yes, mastodon.social does have over half the users - I do think the situation isn't as bad as people make out, Mastodon itself would continue to function without the main server (far less so without the foundation behind it).

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cyberplace.social/users/GossiTheDog/statuses/115617155562915147 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
