Every timeframe except 1-2 years is included, but I'll comment anyway.

Fedi was 5 months young then, but wouldn't be called Fedi for another 4 years or so.

@Reno

Yea, a couple of us have been around for a couple of years...
@claudiom

Yep, some of us go way back.

Yea, I got tired of scrolling back, and letting it load. :ac_mischief:

Where's that page? ?

I searched the internet archive for "identi.ca/<username>" The formatting is all messed up, but you can see a glimpse of the old page. (Mine is from Dec 2008)

Ahh... And I changed my username... So, 2008 for myself also. A Couple of familiar names in there. @dsyates ...
@rfquerin ..
and more...

Well, most of the people that were around 15 years ago, still are around, in various forms, aren't they? TLLTS still happening?

Perhaps a lot of them are more involved with things in real time, and space?

Social networks can be a real time sink. - But they can also be a person's window to the world of other humans. When I was on the road, you (and others) were consistent people to interact with. There is a lot of VALUE to that.

Yep we're around. The cockroaches of the internet. We generally don't stream because binrev is gone now I think. I know @murph listens in Mumble.

Unfortunate we lost 5150 a few years ago...and Rich Hughes rarely comes on...same with Linc and Allan....Linc because of the time difference and Allan because of his family (2 boys and a wife)

Of course, this laptop is from 2007, so does not make a case for timeliness.

very old HPR sticker

Is that a @hpr or an @npr sticker on the side ?

Good eye, by the way.

PM me your address/po box and I can send you some @hpr stickers.

Let's not forget Lord D. @randynose @murph @Reno @dsyates @rfquerin

Yea, I still get automated things from Lord D on twitter. - Freaked me out a bit. - It's been 6 years or so, now. 😔

I was there since the early days of Identi.ca, back when toots were called dents.

Not sure if you both noticed, but I changed my avatar there recently to the current one. :flan_wink: I was also reminded of how I hated the change to Identica. :flan_cleaver: @Reno

Question for you. You showed a pic from the pump.io era of identi.ca, but it looks like a message from earlier then the transition. Did your old messages carry over? Also, is there a way to go to one's oldest messages?

Yeah, the pump.io change really squashed the community, even though the protocol was better. (and the progenitor to Activitypub)

I dunno if things are better, but it's slow as shit. But G+ got a lot of use, and it seemed that most of us used it until Google got stupid.

@murph :fedora: :amiga: @Randy Noseworthy 😼 :debian: @Reno @ClaudioM Yeah the messages were migrated over but sadly not the URLs. You need to scroll a lot to find the contemporary rendering of your first dent, even if you found it in the Wayback Machine.

@Randy Noseworthy 😼 :debian: Wow, you joined only two months after identi.ca went up! That's three months before me, senpai. =)

@dsyates :debian: :arch: :vim: @Richard Querin @murph :fedora: :amiga: @Reno @ClaudioM

Yea, I think I heard about 5150...
- As for the streaming, it seems there ought to be a solution for that....
And yea, things change, the morph. I know Linc is out west, and it's understandable with Allan. - Putting together a polished show isn't easy. Even a consistent haphazard show isn't easy to do. Because you have to be consistent. LOL

You guys are always diamonds in the rough.

Gorkon, y'all don't stream anymore? I got a icecast server with 1 gig download speed of y'all want to stream again. I hope to retire sometime next year, and if you cockroaches are still around, I can be available on Wednesday nights after I retire.

I first joined Indenti.ca in like 2010. I tried using it, and a number of other Pump.io & StatusNet instances on and off for a while, but I don't think I ever really "got it" and freedom denying proprietary corporate social media, particularly Facebook, continued to be my primary online location, up until I gave it up for #lent this year and decided I was going to dive full into #GnuSocial. I finally understood how federation actually worked so here i am in #OrdinaryTime #worksLikeEmail

2010 for me. Ah the good old days. I didn't join laconi.ca/identi.ca because I bloody hate Twitter -- and anything that remotely smells like it. But we federated with identi.ca and Twitter. We even federated with Facebook, at least until they found out.

Good lord. I originally joined a mastodon instance around the Twitter exodus in March 2017, so I've been here more than 5 years. Makes me feel old as shit.

I blame the crowd that I hang out with.

They're a bunch of freaking great geeks.

@murph @dsyates @Reno @rfquerin @claudiom

I was on Identica since 2009-06-30.
