as stated in the article only about 60, which became 70 since I provided that number.

As suggested in the article Xavier Bettel could see it as an opportunity to promote #OpenSource & #DigitalSovereignty and could instruct the Ministry of Digitalisation to setup it's own instance and welcome all the institutions as https://social.network.europa.eu and https://social.bund.de/explore did.

Then many more will follow joining in or by setting up their own instances.
