Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms?
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThis 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.
