The ideas leading to Lemmy go back at least a decade, that I can remember. There are many little things that people figured out when developing distributed federated social media networks of this type. It's a success story of collaboration over a long time with a shared goal of making Reddit and Twitter easy to replace with a superior product.

I'm surprised that nobody has tried to turn Facebook into a distributed service or perhaps they have and I just haven't noticed.

I'm not really interested in a Twitter alternative as I never really used the original. But I would like a less shitty Facebook.

If somebody could basically just make Google plus again, but then actually let people use it, that would be great.
