I wonder how many more #Friendica instances are out there who haven't made their presence known, not because they are not federating (ie. in private mode), rather because they chose not to list themselves in the global-public directory.

If no user choose to get listed in the global-public directory, no one will know they exist until someone reshare one of their post by well-connected federated users or their friends (of friends), or they post in a public group with federated members.

The media <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">should</span> must understand that concept before they assume Friendica (or any other #DDFON ) only have few users and/or few instances/nodes/pods. Because in the #decentralized, #distributed, #federated, #open, #social network world, it is not about numbers, it is about #freedom, #ownership, and #privacy.
