good times
What happened to "Lady Jane" and "Johnny Null" ?
Didn't they meet via #statusnet and have a baby ?

Does anyone happen to know whether the old data of #identica users that weren't migrated over when it switched from #StatusNet to #pumpio has been archived anywhere? I see a mention that there was a plan to upload it to @internetarchive, but can't find anything more than that. #fediverse #ostatus
The Fediverse owes its existence to a company that was no different from Bluesky. Like Bluesky, StatusNet was a company with software named after it (now GNU Social), and its goal was to federate microblogging. Their software used a protocol called OStatus. It was based on hodgepodge of other software and saw little adoption. Mastodon was one of the few exceptions and soon became the dominant federated platform. Meanwhile, StatusNet decided to start from scratch and created ActivityPub with Pump.io as their testing ground. When it was done, they handed it over to W3C. Bluesky has a similar roadmap. So while I get your concerns, give these people some slack. The developers of Bluesky had the rug pulled under them twice. First, Dorsey left when they added stricter user moderation, and then Elon took over Twitter, their primary source of funding. Naturally, Elon sees Bluesky as a threat and target now. The last thing these people need is the Fediverse, the one group who share similar visions, shunning them too. This isn't Threads.
From @tonytins on the history of the Fediverse, Mastodon, and ActivityPub, and how it has similarities to Bluesky's history.

@dothidden Nice #StatusNet to #XMPP status script, but it would be better as an XMPP client instead of talking to a specific client.
@richslxh A trackback capable blog takes tweets as comments - Twitter sends trackbacks. But it seems that #Statusnet doesn't - or does it ?
