https://shitposter.club/objects/73ab2929-892e-43d0-834d-de7fbf2a16ad That's already happened at least twice. The first #bifurcation was when #Identi.ca became a pump instance, and the second was when Mastodon and Pleoma dropped OStatus support.

But I know he means maintaining different interpretations and extensions of the same protocol, not abandoning one protocol for another.

I wouldn't say https://identi.ca/ is "dead", it just is not accepting new members and suffers frequent downtime. Without the #Pump.io firehose, it is difficult to tell how many active users are on the Pump network (though certainly a lot less than in the months after #bifurcation).

@aab @diogo @dalme @colegota @xrevan86 I agree. We survived network #bifurcation once, we can do it again.

@dragnucs I disagree. Once your federated network survives one severe #bifurcation (the #Pump.io split), you know it can survive others. The #ActivityPub addition is still somewhere in the process, but I doubt that defederating from the #OStstus part of the network would speed it up.

the scale of the companies that are being built, the services being built, the wealth that is being created is phenomenal. Chinese Internet is a greater percentage of the GDP of China, which is a big number, than the same percentage of the US, which is also a big number

I just thought of something: no one in the current #fediverse has seen me in person, though two people who were #lost in the #bifurcation (and Dr Jon Kulp, who left our network more recently) have seen me in person at least once.

@alpacaherder @clacke It mostly stayed full of cool people until the #bifurcation, when some stayed in the #fediverse, some went to the #pumpiverse, and many were #lost to the #corpocentric networks.

To be fair, the !StatusNet network that Evan was running became unmanageable -- it cost too much to run, and I think Evan was funding most of it himself (although there were/are a number of paying #StatusNet customers). Evan developed #PumpIO to reduce the number of servers needed to run a federated network, and purposely kept the UI to a minimum to encourage federation. Sadly, that didn't work. Porting identi.ca from StatusNet to PumpIO was intended to introduce people to PumpIO as well as reduce Evan's costs. That partly worked; identi.ca is alive and well as a community, although much reduced from its glory days around 2013. But the #bifurcation did spawn a large number of new StatusNet / !GNUsocial instances, so that was a good thing too. But you're right in that PumpIO never gained widespread traction, the proof of which is in its lack of continued development. In that respect #GNUsocial and !OStatus are more successful than PumpIO

@clacke True. It hasn't been updated for the post #bifurcation fediverse, where larger character limits are the norm instead of the exception (and where some instances use #Markdown or #Textile to enable formatted posts).

My explanation of the #bifurcation, whereby half the #fediverse was split off into the pump.io #pumpiverse and unable to communicate with the remaining users. https://nu.federati.net/notice/513186
