I didn't even know the fediverse was that old.
I didn’t either! ActivityPub came out in 2018, what was Fediverse before ActivityPub?
@compostgoblin Some of the earliest platforms included StatusNet, Diaspora, Friendica, Red Matrix/Hubzilla, etc. All are much older than Mastodon.
Hubzilla was my first foray into fediverse. I like a lot of what it does and how it does things especially the nomadic users. Zot is also really interesting and a good contender to ap.
