     So if you DON'T KNOW @evan let me give you some context.

     The fediverse really went through three eras, as I see it. The OStatus era, the great fragmentation era, and the ActivityPub era.

     If you used "GNU Social", that was StatusNet originally, and it ran OStatus, both of which Evan was largely responsible for. Evan also built the precursor to ActivityPub, the Pump API, and ran the Social Web Working Group, where ActivityPub was standardized!

     He's been absent for a while. I'm so happy to see him back!

     @spacehobo @jwildeboer @thelovebug @cwebber @walkah @brion @bradfitz @jpanzer @blaine he's the unsung hero. Probably the most clued-in person about tech trends I ever met. He kept us up-to-date on all the specs.

     @jwildeboer @thelovebug @cwebber OK. Make sure to include OStatus coauthors @walkah and @brion and Zach Copley, as well as upstream protocol authors like @bradfitz (PubSubHubbub) and @jpanzer (Salmon) @blaine (Webfinger)

     @thelovebug @evan @cwebber Yep. https://ostatus.github.io/omb-spec/OpenMicroBlogging-specification.html - and also worth mentioning for historical purposes: PubSubHubbub (PuSH). I should write a blog entry on my outsiders view of the history of ActivityPub.

     @jwildeboer
     laconica was part of the OpenMicroblogging standard, predating OStatus... that right?

     I think I was on all implementations of the route from identi.ca to here - laconica thru Mastodon.

     I started hosting a personal StatusNet instance when the "fragmentation" happened, then a GNUsocial instance, then - when it became necessary to move to Mastodon - I decided I didn't want the overhead of self-hosting that anymore.

     @evan @cwebber and Status.net came after identi.ca and the laconica server ;)
