Sixteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse. https://web.archive.org/web/20080618164355/http://identi.ca/notice/1 It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that. https://identi.ca/evan/note/Y0QwGyc1QYilqqawkDrQlg Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then. #Fediverse16
