    This has been going on for 16 years? I thought it was started in the mid or late 2010s.

    At least hardly anyone on Lemmy believes the Fediverse was invented by Eugen Rochko in 2022 as a reaction upon Elon Musk’s announcement to buy Twitter.

We had a lot of really cool things lined up, but he was more interested in finances. I didn’t understand that until the nonprofit status for Mastodon arrived.
