Which is the significant date you refer to, the date when identi.ca abandoned ostatus? I was late to the party anyway, but I was wondering what date you meant.
I only used quitter.se for some years until it went down under and setup Friendica in 2014, my current server briefly predates Mastodon by a few months and is from 2015.
rss/atom and xmpp and such too. This last couple of weeks is the biggest leap towards these kinds of thing going mainstream that I’ve seen in 20+ years of wanting to see it happen. What a time to be alive, etc!
Hands up in the air 🙌 First identi.ca, then some single user instances (first on shared web hosting, then on a dedicated one) rocking StatusNet, lastly a small multi user one (herds.eu because GNU's move in herds) on gnusocial - first the MMN's spin, had some fun with the Qvitter plugin that made quitter.se so freshly looking, then diogo's fork when development and maintenance was severely lacking.
Thank you for the brainprompt. Recent refugee from birdsite, and was trying to figure out when I'd been on the fediverse before. The identi.ca mention did it. Found a reference to it in my gmail archive, and from there to the internet archive:
👋 I just had a look at my old identi.ca account before I moved to a different pump.io instance: I don't have to look past the first page to see where I was resharing something from you about MediaGoblin! 🙂
I am very grateful for the community and the things I've learned by being a participant. I now realize that many of us gave @evan a hard time, without understanding the full picture of the process and the challenges involved.

Wait was laconi.ca first? I had an account on the first version, but sadly I left the fediverse for over a decade. I truly don't know what I was thinking.
While pump.io never made great strides on its own (and was never part of the #Fediverse), its protocol ActivityPump formed the basis of ActivityPub that makes today's #Fediverse possible. So the pump.io significance shouldn't be understated.
I would consider StatusNet, identi.ca and pump.io to all be #Fediverse
Sure, we're now mostly using ActivityPub, but it's built on the pioneering Fediverse work that came before it
Some day the Fediverse might leave ActivityPub behind for Spritely or some other new interoperatbilty layer ( perhaps direct /dev/brain BitTorrent to keep our clones in sync )
The Fediverse isn't a protocol, it's a community-run network of interoperable services that AP today enables
@Michael Vogel I didn't mean to say it is only you, but I think you did touch a lot of the code for for these interoperability. Sorry if that came over wrong.
the what? was there anything else before activity pub? I'm curious now. Can you provide more links or something? as you might have imagined, google is not helping much here, probably because of some ulterior motives as well, hmm

Somewhere I have a prior Mastodon account, but lost access to my old email when my mom was in the hospital one time.
