   @bobjonkman @clacke I've been saying for years that hiding the server portion is bad for federation (because of the problem you just exposed and also because people using various instances become less aware of the federated nature of the network).

     Someone forked pumpio?  WHY?  https://activity.distopico.info/distopico/image/crGO5c0gQYO1cvMTt5ig1g

     @kat @alpacaherder From the link, I understand the reasoning, but transferring E14N's servers got caught up in Evan's work schedule, so most of the network nodes have been offline for over a year. At this point, forking seems like an exercise in futility.

     @craigmaloney @alpacaherder @kat Yes, that's my feeling too. I was happy to see Alex start committing code to Pump.io, but I really think it needed to happen a couple of years earlier (which also is the case with dispersing control of the servers).

     @alpacaherder @clacke @kat Pownce (did it best, but was acquihired), Jaiku (better than Twitter, but Google cut off its resources and let it wither), and I'm sure there were others that I did not try. I think Plurk came along later.

     @alpacaherder @maiyannah @kat @clacke Evan is so busy with other things that he's started trying to allocate his time via his own e-currency (a project called EvanCoin). AFAIK, none of those who expressed interest in taking over a Pump.io server have been contacted to finalize the transfer, so that was killed by the same lack of available time that killed the servers he ran.

     Distropico was persuaded to join the #Pump.io project as a committer. #Compa will be repurposed as a Foursquare clone.

     @clacke I remember trying #Appleseed. It was a lot broader in its functionality than most microblogging sites, though many things were not yet working.
     
     I remember looking at #6D, but I did not ever try it.
