This is good growth for such a smaller lesser known fedi project that replaces Facebook.

The only reason Facebook doesn't sound dumb is that we've been saying it for like 15 years

Nah, it's a good name, has a nice ring to it and if two syllables. Friendica is hard to pronounce and sounds awkward.

"Instagram" is, at least in my opinion, about as awkward as "Friendica" to say, and has millions of users. It wins marginally on spelling, but how often does the average user write or type the full name of a site anyway?
