Since Mastodon saw its initial popularity circa 2017, I've noticed that most users and those reporting on it either don't think about the Fediverse as anything more than Mastodon, or treat its history as beginning with Eugen Rochko and the beginning of Mastodon. In fact, Mastodon is the latest in a long line of federated social networks, going at least back to Identi.ca, and though I wasn't around for all of it,I find this history pretty interesting.

I've been lurking for a few days, and I think it's time for an #introduction.

I'm a biologist who works on the comparative #biomechanics and #neuroscience of vertebrate copulatory systems. I'm also a science writer and a fact-checker for narrative #podcasts and science magazines.

Hoping to find all the people I followed on the birdsite, and meet new folks, too!
