   There are some really interesting stories on fedi, and the fact it's taken this long for journalists to notice is retarded. MyFreeCams, Spinster, Gab, Poast, and Donald Trump. Come on.

     All of the things I've mentioned are CONNECTED and just begging for someone to connect the dots.

     @alex Why not deep lore that I only read about while making the posts for my one blog. Pawoo, that jester larper/bootlicker creating a instance that's siloed off, the GNU Social and Mastodon flamewar mixed in with Quitter being essentially GNU Social's Soapbox-FE, and whatnot.
     
     Of course that time period also was when the fediverse had a really bad reputation. Dabbling in the fedi at that time was like those guys I know who dabbled in bitcoin and wished they saved it back in the day, except there's no money lost, just wishing I had different friends.

     @alex I got contacted by the MyFreeCams people in 2018. They wanted me to integrate Converse.

     I declined, just had my daughter being born and didn't feel like working on something like that.

     They then went with Pleroma I heard later.

     @alex We were relatively poor at the time. I was freelancing 100% on Converse, declining other work. We were barely covering expenses.

     They offered a generous hourly rate. I was tempted, but it also felt wrong, having a 3 month old girl.

     I discussed it with my wife a few times. Eventually I got a great job offer somewhere else. Full time employment still working on Converse 90% of the time integrating it into an existing site.
