@[email protected] I didn't. Any resources that supports what you said? Did Fediverse even existed back in 2010? Activity Pub in 2010? I highly doubt that.

@[email protected] Yes. The Fediverse started in 2008. ^_^

You can check the page where I've collected it, with links to each.

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.
