- riffic 4y agoThe Fediverse has already happened. It's about to celebrate its 15th year in a handful of months. https://fediverse.party/en/post/fediverse-14-years-in-2022/ https://fediverse.party/en/post/fediverse-14-years-in-2022/
- pbronez 4y agoHmm counting from Identi.ca? Fair enough. What’s the term you prefer for this stage of its growth then? The jump to 7 figures of MAU in the wake of Twitter’s collapse seems like an important change to me. The idea might be 15 years old, but the dominant implementation (Mastodon) started ~2016, the modern protocol (ActivityPub) arrived in 2018, and the last four years seem to have been mostly a small community working out the kinks. Now it’s going mainstream. It’s held up remarkably well so far, but there are significant technical, economic and governance challenges to overcome if Fedi is going to fulfill it’s potential as the dominant interoperability layer for online collaboration.
