Put another way, what are some examples of software built with federation in mind from the start, rather than on top of a more centralized design?

This is helpful and I agree. You forgot Slack and IRC!

I propose this breakdown of the basic software paradigms:

  • forum (Usenet, PHPBB, Reddit, YouTube, Discourse)
  • blog (Wordpress, Substack)
  • microblog (Twitter, Mastodon)
  • chatroom (IRC, Slack, Mattermost, Clubhouse if you count audio)

God I hate it when people say "check my Substack". It's a blog dammit.

Slack actually runs on XMPP, as does Zoom and others.... So yeah....

iirc slack got rid of irc/xmpp.
