   People who weren't there in the early Fedverse don't remember those shaky days when it was being written and run by Evan Devromou and later Evan Testromou.

   They think OStatus and @Evan Prodromou just sprang into life fully formed.

      @clacke I was here in 2009, so it was still early days, but apparently not as early as it felt. For example, the former Twitter employee who created some of the standards that Identica and StatusNet used (including at least one that Mastodon still uses) was unknown to me. I remember hearing about #Twitter plans to federate with #Identica, but I was not aware that they had sent at least one message across networks before deciding to go toward the walled garden model.
