hmm, what was happening about 3 years ago that so many folks joined the fediverse?

@stux

For about as long as I have been running Rogue Project's Friendica which is just over a year.

@stux

I turned 3 years old on 2026-01-21 🥳

@stux

November '22 wave here.

@stux Since Musk bought Twitter

Actually slightly before so about 3ish years

I've also changed instance so this account is a bit younger

@stux Depends on what you mean with active. I joined over three years ago, but I was only lurking and reading posts in the first year and a half. Only after that I really started posting stuff (which weirdly coincides with getting my HRT. Go figure!).

@stux
One year on the 23rd.

@stux can't vote from friendica, but came over with the #gplusrefugee wave in early (march/april) 2019 converting to diaspora ..... later then switching to multi-protocol friendica.

@rupert Nop .. no real majority on your side.

@pattykimura @stux I have been on two servers that quit. It happens, unfortunately. But seeing as I don't want to start my own, I can hardly blame them I'm very happy with my current one, hope it stays a long time.

@hackbyte Perhaps just a majority of the ones who'll vote in the first hour of a poll like this

@hackbyte @stux

It does not matter what type of Instance you are on. If it federates then you have been on the #Fediverse. To be completely honest, if Mastodon was the only choice to be on the Fedi, I would not be here. I really do not like the micro-blogging format. That is why I never had or used Twitter.

@stux I didn't say over 3 because I thought I was coming up on my 3 year Fediversary. Then I realized it's 2026.

Man, it's been a long century since 2020 🫠

@stux Since that Nazi .... okay, you know.
