     @RedTechEngineer @fba @romin Yeah, for like half a day. They were gonna do whitelist federation, only with admins of Masto instances with high user counts. They were gonna pay them for the overhead of federating, and offer extra to run in-timeline ads, but you had to also adopt their moderation rules. They abruptly stopped federating because of unspecified bugs and "it's not ready"; allegedly, despite trying to force IG users onto it, they had very poor adoption.
     
     When it happened, everyone said "Greatest threat to this feddy verse" and I said "Not enough information, probably a half-assed swing at Twitter" and it was a half-assed swing at Twitter. They don't appear to have killed it completely, but I don't think it's going to go anywhere.

     @mint @fba @icedquinn @romin QWERTY had won by then, punctuation characters usually look like they're in about the place you expect usually. At least in the case of the Teletype Model 33 ASR, the layout is almost the same.

     @p @icedquinn @fba @romin Were 60s typewriters even standardized to be considered an "US" keyboard?

     @romin @fba @icedquinn Unix was created on US keyboards, but slashes are used for paths.
     
     In other news, Microsoft pushed keyboard manufacturers to move the control key from its rightful place (left of A) to the lower left, which made Wordstar keybindings inconvenient but their own keybindings (^Z to undo, ^C to copy, ^X, ^V, etc.) still within reach.

     @romin @fba @icedquinn @mint I started using Unix-layout keyboards way back in the day. Escape is much easier to reach, but it's left of 1 instead of being left of Q.
     
     Alegedly, the Model 33 required a lot of force to depress the keys, more like a typewriter.
