Interesting. So fediverse the term was only coined (2012) after the first instance by Mozilla was shut down (and it seems that there were many protocol changes in between).

And also ActivityPub was a few years in the future when the term was coined (2014 being the first mention).

@[email protected] Yep! That's correct! The father of the Fediverse was Evan Prodromou. He sent the first message in 2008. Later, #identiverse was coined before it eventually became known as the #Fediverse.
