@kirby when did you join? before/after poast made a *huge* difference, as did before/after the combo of kfcc and spinster

@kirby gotcha. basically on the cusp of modern fedi then, I joined in the middle era before gab/spinster/kfcc/poast cultural changes but after mastodon and after the first set of pleroma instances, also when misskey just started federating (I can say in confidence I was probably one of the first 50 people outside japan to use it)

@allison poast and some other random dark fedi instances were defederated from the instance i was active on. that same instance died after a few months and then i joined an instance which showed the rest of the fediverses gape. i am no fediverse ultra vet, right time (i was very online by 2017), wrong place

@georgia @kirby what was the 2017 near miss? I actually saw fedi first all the way back in 2015 (qvitter.se or something along those lines) but it was all terminally boring leftists so I couldn't be bothered

@allison @kirby 2017 near miss was simply this: georgia being taken by a frenchwoman on mastodon social (which I thought was the most modern version of gnu social which I knew about because of prism. break) and me really wanting my name on big name instance because I was sick of all my lame alts. for a couple years after I followed the progress of fedi but I didnt join until right after spinster started because it merged my interest in free software with radical feminism or so I thought.
