Stephen Michael KellatSomeone forked pumpio? WHY? https://activity.distopico.info/distopico/image/crGO5c0gQYO1cvMTt5ig1g
Nobody [LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1)]@kat @alpacaherder From the link, I understand the reasoning, but transferring E14N's servers got caught up in Evan's work schedule, so most of the network nodes have been offline for over a year. At this point, forking seems like an exercise in futility.
Hallå Kitteh@lnxw48a1 @kat @alpacaherder I don't get the reasoning "people refer to Evan too much in discussions".
It's not because Evan has final say in anything, he has handed over the project. It's just that maybe some of the code needs his feedback because it's not clearly documented or tested. A fork won't resolve that, on the contrary it will just make communication and cooperation more difficult.

@alpacaherder @clacke @kat Pownce (did it best, but was acquihired), Jaiku (better than Twitter, but Google cut off its resources and let it wither), and I'm sure there were others that I did not try. I think Plurk came along later.
@lnxw48a1 @kat @alpacaherder I have read and heard several people lately reminiscing on the early days of microblogging, there were several things in the air in 2008, free and proprietary.
Probably that audio interview with evan recently, and that written interview @deadsuperhero had with @[email protected] .

Hmm, https://changelog.com/podcast/257 is the Evan interview I was thinking of, I think, but it doesn't mention many networks.
The Changelog #257: The Power of Wikis, the Problem with Social Networks, and the Promise of A.I. with Evan Prodromou
Evan Prodromou has been involved in open source since the mid '90s. His open source travel guide – Wikitravel – grew up alongside Wikipedia and the web itself. In this episode, we hear Evan's history, try to solve open social networking once and for all, and learn how sprinkling a little artificial intelligence on to o...
https://medium.com/we-distribute/got-zot-mike-macgirvin-45287601ff19 is the interview with mike, but it only mentions appleseed and 6d apart from what has already been mentioned.
Bob JonkmanThe interview of @mike by @deadsuperhero is *really* good! https://medium.com/we-distribute/got-zot-mike-macgirvin-45287601ff19
Why we need fully-qualified user names in !GNUsocial. @mike is not the @[email protected] who I meant.
@bobjonkman It is the same person, though!
I didn't know that, so it's a happy coincidence. Still, we can't expect that all the @[email protected] IDs go the right person by seridipity
It's too late for posting -- all the coffee has worn off. "Serendipity"
@bobjonkman @clacke I've been saying for years that hiding the server portion is bad for federation (because of the problem you just exposed and also because people using various instances become less aware of the federated nature of the network).

@clacke I remember trying #Appleseed. It was a lot broader in its functionality than most microblogging sites, though many things were not yet working.
I remember looking at #6D, but I did not ever try it.

@bobjonkman Nope. :-)
