I think we called it fediverse long befor mastodon even existed... I joined around 2008 https://notiz.blog/2023/05/19/happy-birthday-fediverse/

Happy Birthday Fediverse!


Gestern vor 15 Jahren hat Evan seinen ersten Post ins Fediverse gesendet:
Fifteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080618164355/http://identi.ca/notice/1

It’s still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that.

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who’s expanded the fediverse since then.

Someday soon-ish I’d like to have identi.ca working with ActivityPub. When I get the time for it!

Vor 15 Jahren!!!

Erst laconi.ca/identi.ca dann status.net und jetzt gnu.social.

Von OpenMicroBlogging über OStatus zu ActivityPub.

Es ist faszinierend wie lange sich die Idee gehalten hat und das unabhängig von der Platform und dem Protocol!

Laut dem Screenshot von meinem Profil, bin ich auch schon seit Juli 2008 dabei.

Happy Birthday und mal schauen wie das Fediverse in 15 Jahren aussieht 😉 !
