The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

It's a real mystery, where could these instances possibly be located?
(apologies for derailing, I don't know where else to post this)
"Private" in these fedi-surveys are just a complicated way of saying "behind Cloudflare" without saying behind Cloudflare for some reason.
I love me some Cloudflare MITM for my browsing data and authetication credentials. yum…
Pretty sure lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada
Yeah right, if lemmy.ca is in Canada then aussie.zone and lemmy.eco.br are in Australia and Brazil. Get a load of this guy.
