I didn't even know the fediverse was that old.

I didn’t either! ActivityPub came out in 2018, what was Fediverse before ActivityPub?

@compostgoblin There were several other protocols such as OStatus, Diaspora, and Zot prior to ActivityPub. Mastodon originally used OStatus, and switched to ActivityPub later. A lot of platforms are older than Mastodon too.
