   To be fair, the !StatusNet network that Evan was running became unmanageable -- it cost too much to run, and I think Evan was funding most of it himself (although there were/are a number of paying #StatusNet customers). Evan developed #PumpIO to reduce the number of servers needed to run a federated network, and purposely kept the UI to a minimum to encourage federation. Sadly, that didn't work. Porting identi.ca from StatusNet to PumpIO was intended to introduce people to PumpIO as well as reduce Evan's costs. That partly worked; identi.ca is alive and well as a community, although much reduced from its glory days around 2013. But the #bifurcation did spawn a large number of new StatusNet / !GNUsocial instances, so that was a good thing too. But you're right in that PumpIO never gained widespread traction, the proof of which is in its lack of continued development. In that respect #GNUsocial and !OStatus are more successful than PumpIO

     @maiyannah @bobjonkman how federated is your network if you fund EVERY node?

     @tekk @bob @bobjonkman Even today, proxying the #Pump.io Node.JS server behind another web server is considered unsupported, even though I think every non E14N pump does just that.

     @lnxw48a1 @bob @tekk @bobjonkman I think jxself has to document that at least in terms of how it relates to datamost dot com.

     @lnxw48a1 @bobjonkman @tekk @bob my personal pump does not.

     This isn't actually considered unsupported anymore; I will take bug reports about it and eventually I want to improve test coverage in that area. But we do strongly advise against it if possible - I say "if possible" because I _do_ recognize that having >1 IP address can be kinda unreasonable. https://pumpio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/web-server-proxy.html
