Jupiter Rowland on Nostr: @rabble @Fediverse Report Only halfway through it due to lack of time, but in that ...

@rabble @Fediverse Report Only halfway through it due to lack of time, but in that half, the only pre-#Mastodon, pre-#ActivityPub hint was a very brief mention of the #OStatus protocol and #StatusNet. And it doesn't sound like the other half would actually deal with anything between identi.ca and Mastodon.

Then again, #Bluesky tries to convince us that the concept of #NomadicIdentity is their original pioneering creation, so naturally, they'd never admit that it was actually invented along with the #Zot protocol in 2011 and has been in use since the creation of the #RedMatrix in 2012 from which eventually #Hubzilla emerged.

And the representatives of ActivityPub and #Nostr would never admit either that there are protocols and projects that are more powerful than theirs while also being older and having been in active use for longer.

Interestingly, not even #Diaspora was mentioned.

So basically, this isn't about the origins of the concept of open social media platforms and their largely unknown history prior to Mastodon. It's about the history of three specific platforms.

Or should I continue listening, and what I think is missing is yet to come?
