@Hyolobrika @arcalinea you can find a bigger version here: https://gitlab.com/lidia_p/fediposter/-/raw/master/fediposter.png
It is still a work in progress, so if you have any feedback, corrections and/or suggestions they are more than appreciated and you can file them here: https://gitlab.com/lidia_p/fediposter/-/issues (everyone will be credited). For example, 2009 and 2012 are missing atm because we couldn't find any relevant events for those years.
Someone shared this wild chart of the Fediverse with me. Groovy 70's meets Tables. And 2009 and 2012 are missing? I'm in awe. How..
Does anyone still use Diaspora?

Does anyone follow a PeerTube or PixelFed account on here? What is it?
Curious to see how that interaction works on Mastodon.

As I've revealed in my last Patreon post, I've been working on adding end-to-end encryption APIs into Mastodon as an upgrade to the direct message system.
Any and all technical details available at the moment are here:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/13820
An implementation guide for app developers is being worked on.
I published a post comparing IPFS and Dat at a high level and in the technical details the other day:

Do you use either? What do you like or dislike about them?
Does anyone want to review my draft blog post on decentralized social networks? I'm comparing federated and p2p models, focusing on Mastodon and ssb.
Any feedback is welcome, I tried to write up an objective take on the pros and cons of each.

The expectation of web apps being free just moved the costs elsewhere. Now we're paying for the previous generation's idealism -- content creators struggling to monetize, and intractable advertising-based surveillance business models.
Thoughts on Twitter decentralization project?
Can anyone recommend a Mastodon <-> Twitter bridge?
