it was called laconica back then, but it was the inception point of the Fediverse. the network has grown with newer protocols, many new implementations thereof, but if identi.ca hadn't been switched to pump.io and Mastodon hadn't kicked the ladder, that server could have remained interoperating with other Fediverse servers to this day. Heck, since some status.net servers remain that also speak ActivityPub, we could even disregard Mastodon's ladder-kicking: it would be still able to interoperate with them if it hadn't moved to pump.io.
