@bob @Gargron I was a statusnet user early on, and participated in some of the early work around activitystreams...

I drifted away because of IRL - we adopted 3 kids and SH*T GOT CRAZY :) - I was pleasantly surprised to see that an implementation had hit critical mass and I moved to Mastodon shortly after.

I'd be curious if there are any non-Mastodon AP implementations in regular use yet and federating with the Mastodon network. This is really where it begins to validate the ideas to the world.

@sivy @bob @Gargron Friendica and Diaspora, right? Or are they federating via a different protocol?
