@RockManJoe Hahaha.

Tell you what: @Mike Macgirvin ?️ has decentralised Fediverse identities as early as 2011. He invented nomadic identity (https://joinfediverse.wiki/Nomadic_identity, https://opennomad.net/page/nomad/home) almost five years before Mastodon was made. And he first implemented it in 2012 on what would later become Hubzilla (https://hubzilla.org, https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla). That was still almost four years before Mastodon was launched.

Oh, and by the way: Hubzilla is very much part of the Fediverse. It is very much (albeit optionally) connected to and federated with Mastodon. I am replying to you right now from a Hubzilla channel which simultaneously and identically resides on two independent servers.

Nomadic identity is reality now. It is being daily-driven right now, and it has been daily-driven since long before Solid was even announced.

Solid is nothing but Hubzilla or (streams) or Forte (both are descendants of Hubzilla by Hubzilla's creator) as ordered from wish.com. A cheap and shoddy knock-off.
