On the open.tube service as part of an irregular amateur podcast "Reassembly" administrator one of the nodes of the distributed (federated) social network Mastodon published a podcast that tells in Russian the most complete history of the development of projects related to federated social networks.
The podcast is the result of almost a year of work - collecting information, communicating with the direct creators of individual technologies, and so on.
In the two-hour podcast, you can hear about what technologies immediately preceded federated social networks, how technologies developed in the era of the oStatus protocol, how the fediverse managed not to sink into oblivion after jabber and be reborn around the ActivityPub protocol. Separately, the podcast talks about the main notable projects in Fediverse: Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Pleroma and others.
All previously released parts of the podcast have been edited and re-recorded so that the story is complete and complete.
