Thank you Scott Sweeny judahsshadow  No_2nd Troy
for compiling a [DRAFT] list of social networks [or pick a term...] that are NOT [Twitter Facebook Google+]

How would you classify these systems? Federated vs centralized? Traction (measured in number of users?) Put another way, which ones are the "Big 5" or maybe "Big 3".
 
Pump.io [federated]
Diaspora*
GNU Social [nee StatusNet] [Centralized]
Movim
Lorea
Friendica
RedMatrix
Twister
BuddyCloud
Salut a toi
Jappix
Retro
Share
Tent
BitMessage
rstat.us

Thanks all.

I would say the big 5 are:

  1. Pump.io [federated]
  2. Diaspora*
  3. GNU Social [nee StatusNet] [Centralized]
  4. Friendica
  5. Tent

I've only used the first 3. I've hardly even heard of the rest.
