Happy 9th Birthday Friendica!
9 years ago, on July 1st 2010, Mike MacGirvin committed his initial work on what would become Friendica. Since it has gone through many changes, PHP version, maintainers, name even, but it is still alive and kicking and ready for its tenth years running. Thanks to everyone who has donated or still donate their time https://forum.friendi.ca/objects/39bbe52aea013c9ae2ef6fa9e19ef860f6aabaff
On July 4th, RCsocial.net reaches its 1 year anniversary!
Coincidentally, also happening this July 4th is the move of 1 million #Gab users to the federverse. We will be able to follow them and vice versa, just like all other ActivityPub sites. This is a big boost for free speech and in wrestling control from the oppressive tech giants.
It also provides much-needed balance to the anti-free-speech viewpoint of Mastodon developers.
Hey @patryn94 apparently I'm a Nazi recruiter according to @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town. You tell me. Is she a parody account?
Note to self: Don't be a prick. Leave that job to the pricks of the world.
@terryenglish
The good news is that in 12 years, it's all going to end and we won't have to worry about it anymore.
I have moved to terryenglish@blob.cat so please follow me there.
