So I actually don't know the origins of Mastodon. Where and how'd it come about? Is it predominantly games people here? Also, how long's it been around, I wonder :o

@mrchad Mastodon is a new implementation of OStatus / Gnu Social. There have been Gnu Social instances for years, and you can follow people on them and the other way around.

@mrchad I think @Gargron has been working on it for a couple of months. Some more info here, it was on less than half that number a day or so ago :)

@mrchad it was developed entirely by @Gargaron for the past three point five months and within the span of two days was abruptly taken up by a subset of gamedev Twitter and then attached queer/furry groups
