   Five years and one day ago I went to a "ironically enough centralized meetup for decentralized people" as everyone there joked, in Malmö.
   
   Aral Balkan happened to present there and that's the first time I heard of him. A lot has sure happened in the world and on fedi since!
   
   For example, @aral , I think you didn't yet have your current fedi account at the time? That's newer?
   
   That trip I also met Mathias "mafintosh" Buus (of Dat and a hundred node modules fame) and the person I was there with helped me try Secure Scuttlebutt for the first time.

     @clacke
     Will we soon be brandishing our Fedi join dates, in much the same way as Slashdotters do with their low user IDs?

     @ghostdancer
     Does it count if you no longer exist at the other place?

     There is a semi-serious point to be resolved about people's online identity and instance itinerancy.

     @fitheach I find no value on it only for the laughs, the problem of identity in the fediverse is a difficult one but OTOH is just a social network, IMHO we don't need a strong safe Id check. @clacke

     @ghostdancer
     The evaluation of whether it is "only a social network" depends on the outlook of the user. I consider my presence here to have some real-life value. It is, dare I say it, a bit like a brand. My Fedi identity is more than just the Follows and Followers, it is ideas, and emotions, expressed over many years.

     @clacke I might have been there, too. Was it arranged through Foo Cafe?

     @mc Sounds vaguely familiar. IfbIbremember correctly it was big open-plan office space with white furniture and green plants and the presentations were in a kind of tiny amphitheatre with the speaker in the middle and audience on stairs-like white bleachers with maybe 7 levels.

     @clacke Sounds like Media Evolution City where Foo Cafe used to hold their events.
