Fun Fact: one of the core protocols that make the fediverse work is named webfinger

kid named finger

Finger was cool. It was sort of like the 70s/80s/90s version of twitter, but you only have one post available at any time. Wanna post something new? It will replace your only post.

Otherwise it was used like twitter, but there was a lot less toxicity and hate and no ads and no real financial incentive to even use it and it was decentralized like all internet services used to be and lemmy is.
