@jesuisatire@social.tchncs.de People involved with the identi.ca-centered network used the term "federated social web" at least a few (EDIT: months) before the first Diaspora pod was deployed: www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/fede… The Fediverse was coined as an alternative to the Identiverse. Marjolein Katsma used both in parallel to promote the term: web.archive.org/web/2013051712… @f00fc7c8@kind.social

@clacke @f00fc7c8@kind.social just to clarify, not sure about the "timestap" you are talking about here: 2005? 2011? #diaspora wikipedia: > To obtain the necessary funds the project was launched on April 24, 2010 on Kickstarter, a crowd funding website. .. The group received crowdfunding in excess of $200,000 via Kickstarter. A consumer alpha version was released on 23 November 2010.

@clacke @f00fc7c8@kind.social sounds like friendica was involved? You might argue friendica was the one that tried to "federate" the whole time with any protocol that showed up, beingit diaspora* or identica/GNUsocial, actually you'll find even twitter and fb in the federating tools of friendica. > Mikael Identiverse Good morning !tzag !identiverse #friendicaverse #fediverse
