Since Mastodon saw its initial popularity circa 2017, I've noticed that most users and those reporting on it either don't think about the Fediverse as anything more than Mastodon, or treat its history as beginning with Eugen Rochko and the beginning of Mastodon. In fact, Mastodon is the latest in a long line of federated social networks going at least back to Identi.ca, and though I wasn't around for all of it, I find this history pretty interesting. (Thread; boosts welcome!)
@violenceworks made our rats a tiny vintage computer and monitor.

twitter: your mastodon server admin reads every DM you send. they actually read them and assign a score
mastodon admins who roll their own: sorry everyone images aren't going to work for the next sixty-ninety years. what's a DM
99% of mastodon admins who are just normies who pay for shared hosting: we can't read dms. we can't even choose when to update. we can't even turn the lights off in this room
lead mastodon dev: actually they're "mentioned people only posts," hope this helps. Cheers!
What's this? Minecraft running on #AsahiLinux with open source GPU drivers?

Many of us have now heard of Rust's "being upset at a broken embedded system in an elevator" origin story, but not many younger programmers know that C++ was invented by Bjarne Stroustrup after he forgot to null-terminate his legs while putting his shoes on one day and had to deal with the aftermath.
There is a moment, a joyous moment, between when the staff stands ready, feet shuffle quietly, a hush and a murmur runs in the space before the giant doors creak open and the day's endeavors begin.
And this is that moment.
Welcome to Mastodon, Internet Archive.
A lot of folks are saying that Mastodon reminds the of earlier days of online communities. It's made me think back to this thing I wrote several years ago about Prodigy, Oregon Trail, Baby-Sitters Club, and how I became a professor of the internet. :D https://slate.com/technology/2017/02/what-i-learned-about-the-internet-from-the-baby-sitters-club.html
