I just read infosec.exchange/@jerry/112887… again and it just hit me that "new kid on the block" Mastodon has been around for over 8 years already! The "Mastodon Network" era is now most of Fediverse history!
The Fediverse is 16 years old since May[1] and Mastodon has been up for 8 years since March[2], so 2024 marks the year when Mastodon has been on the Fediverse for the majority of the time the network has been around.
Of course, for the vast majority of fedizens, Mastodon has always been around and their first server was a Mastodon server, and for many, the part of the Fediverse that runs on Mastodon is the #MastodonNetwork , but as of this year we have passed a milestone where that perspective is not entirely objectively wrong by yet another measure.
