I remember the criticism Loops had initially due to the lack of open source, but I'm glad I persevered and built a solid foundation that is now fully open source, and federated.

Love or hate me, you can't deny my impact on the fediverse and social web.

I'm inspired to build by the countless giants who have laid the foundation across the fabric we call the internet, and am proud to be a small part of this here fediverse.

Shoutout to @bagderdaniel:// stenberg:// for making curl, the fediverse is built on his work ❤️

Another huge inspiration and hero of mine is @evanEvan Prodromou for building StatusNet, which also inspired @GargronEugen Rochko to start Mastodon.

Evan, your work literally laid the foundation for the fediverse and social web, and I'm so proud that you even know my name, your work proved that the social web could exist before anyone ever considered that.

We're building the future, but let's not forget the pioneers who made this possible ❤️
