Evan Prodromou on OpenChannels.FM

A quick note that Evan is interviewed by WordPress social networking lead Matthias Pfefferle on the OpenChannels.FM podcast about the history of the Fediverse and where we’re going next. How Decentralized Social Platforms Grew from Identica to Modern-Day Mastodon covers a 15+-year period as the Fediverse was born and developed. The shownotes alone are extremely detailed and a great resource.

Was ist im September 2024 passiert?

fediverse.observer/stats

Dieser Impact auf allen Ebenen kommt ja nicht von ungefähr. Ich war damals noch nicht aktiv im Fedivers, daher meine Frage. Immer wenn ich mit Menschen die Reichweitendisussion führe sage ich "Ey schaut mal 18.000.000 Nutzer und 1.500.000.000 Beiträge. Was willlst Du eigentlich noch mehr?"
Dann kommt: "Ja, aber was ist denn da im Sep.24 passiert? So volatile Netze will ich nicht bespielen."

@milan, the legendary #fediAdmin, being called to an infringement of some of the tchncs.de sites TOS.

@pillory

Rememberig that time when #NASA published awesome pictures of the stars.
And then person1 took that, and made #digital #PrideFlag.s from them.
And then person2 organized physical pride flags to be made from this .
And then we all bought those flags, and now have them, and probably continue our stories with them.
Nice.

My experience @rcbo is, that people are tribal and need to gather around a term, a brand a togetherness.

So to evade by all means to get stuck just with mastodon and use that effect of "we" I can't see why no create it. Not in a tiresome repetitive hypnotizing fashion, but it's important to point out the distinctive difference.

For me it's like fediVerse is the result of a more than a decade long search and fight for what we have in common, our #commons and that's ultimately the decentralized communication agreement that evolved into activityPub.

I actually can pinPoint you to the evolution of respective hashtags over time and space of about 13 years.

It's a cultural term at this stage I guess.
#federatedWeb #theFederation #fediVerse
federatedWeb -> theFederation -> fediVerse

Even a misspelling 10 years ago shows up, federateWeb with a TV take about #friendica and #diaspora, a comment from @fabrixxm and of course @tobias is all over the place ..

Actually the upcoming #FOSDEM event has a long lasting hashtag stream on geraspora, maybe this is the first fosdem/federatedweb post, including an interview with a #diasporian on #FOSDEM2015.

For your information, Another shot at a decentralized social network, built from status.net it seems. GNU Social Network: http://foocorp.org/projects/social/faq/ I'm not sure at this time if the project did take off indeed. I see no public source code, unless I'm missing it somewhere, and the website isn't finished. The funny name of the website doesn't count. :). Theoretically. It aims to work based on open protocols, such as OAuth and OStatus. #federatedweb #openweb #privacy #openprotocols #freedombox (This project was also publicly made known these days by tomtom - in a way that was misunderstood by a few people including myself, sorry for that! - but it's just one of the many initiatives that try to solve the technical challenges of social networking decentralization and open web).

> HIS story of #satireSpotlights

What do you mean @erio7,
the #realSatirePur moments in @jesuisatire's #fediLife?

Like, HIS responsibility for the first urgent over night role out of a blocking feature (seriously!) in the #fediVerse, because HE tried to have fun with a troll who didn't had enough #selbstIronie in his ego, nor respect for the decentralized system or the community, showing of in the worst irresponsible manner possible?
😟

Or the #meanwhile incident, when "diaspora.com.ar … on it’s quest for the #holyTroll meet jesuiSatire .. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ" and called for the first time in #theFederatedHistory for a instance wide blocking of a distant user profile, wondering how to implement that in the code, telling HIM to quote: "¡stop being ironic!", with the admin writing an extense howTo defend yourself from a troll opEd, while HE already was trying to snip away users by writing takes like:
#federatedlearning, #hola #Argentina @Elcammarota
"About how to interpret a profile in the internet and why it can be useful to give #whiteHatTroll's ( as described by @linuzifer ) a chance."
¿ 😞 ?

HIS april fools censorship! prank conversation that hit the cord?
🤦‍♂️

Or the moment HE upset @lizzischmidt with HIS #opEd in Englisch promoting her German #sundayGimp movement by stating "they even are arrogant enough to invent new hashtags" and she took it serious?
That post nearly ended a friendship and the whole community had to come to the rescue to translate and state the obvious.
Like to say:
"Even @deusfigendi kann das bezeugen".
😮

We wonder if you are aware that you are talking about THE ONE who wrote the first draft of the #TSGDC more than 13 years ago, a take that actually could need some refurbishment, spellcheck and renaming to #TSGFC (The Sporial Guide to the Fediverse Cyberspace).
🤔

Well, actually we think HE is best when HE shows of with HIS 144 character bilingual or trilingual tweete takes like:
"German for #newBees leasons, because they have a word for everything."
(Ok, that one was really what he is all about, kinda selbstentlarvend. In other words, for a member of the #MUH a little bit to dangerous perhaps)
😇

Anyway, please don't make us remember old wounds, scares and stripes, we came a long way already ..
.. and be assured, @requeteChe was right when he stated from the get go:

ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ jeSuisatire, sounds like a typical bastard!

i'm curious: where did the neocreatures come from? (i guess #fedimeta #fedihistory)
Remember when The Liturgists podcast and their community spun up a fedi instance? What ever happened to them, I don't see the on the TL anymore. #fedihistory #liturgists
