That seems a little bit unclear because it implies that you can find
friends through the Friends page.  If we're going to tell people to
get some friends, we should provide some guidance as to how to do so.

We could potentially suggest, "here's where some freenet people hang
out", although that might be easy to infiltrate?  On the other hand if
no one ever meets any friends, then there won't be a darknet to
infiltrate in the first place.

Yes - as above, and also emphasize that you should talk to the person
and satisfy yourself that they're bona fide, rather than following the
usual social networking model of clicking immediately on anyone who
requests you as a friend.
