Made some edits to the thread. @clacke tells me that the term Fediverse has been in use since 2011-12, and I can believe that. @jesuisatire@social.tchncs.de confirmed my suggestion that instance suspensions didn't exist in the fediverse during the GNU social era - at the very least, Friendica did not have such a feature.

More edits: comments by @mattl@social.mat.tl indicate that the GNU social project existed long before StatusNet merged with it, which is confirmed by this FSF blog: . I've updated my wording to reflect that.

@f00fc7c8@kind.social @clacke@libranet.de @jesuisatire@social.tchncs.de Thank you for sharing this information. I’m not nimble in the digital universe as I came to it later than many. Thus I appreciate this bit of history.

@f00fc7c8@kind.social Thanks for this! I used to go to the Indie Web conferences when they were here in Portland. I was one of the early users of identi.ca. I'm a hard-core tech guy but I found the technology behind the indie web frustrating to use, so beyond putting a "rel=me" on websites I've never done much with it.
