Heh. I misremembered the date--thought it was today, but looks like it was October 5. On that day, 10 years ago, I posted a link to Mastodon on Hacker News, with the title "Show HN: A new decentralized microblogging platform". That it made it to the front page ended up bringing the first 5,000 users, setting the project on the trajectory it's on today.

@Gargron So awesome!
Happy Invention Birthday!
@Gargron I remember you talking about your project on GNU-Social... congratulations, Mastodon is your legacy
@Gargron yes I noticed I missed marking my decade here. Earliest Mastodon related email I could find
@Gargron I have been deed longer than I have been here . Gid tho 👍
@Gargron I don't read the orange website so I'm not certain where I heard about Mastodon, it might have been on GNU Social. I decided to give it a shot and it immediately stuck. People have told me every year since then that it can't last and is destined to fade away. Here's to another ten!
Did you see what Elon just posted? 👀
@Gargron Happy to have found you in that first year!
@Gargron A huge thank you!
@Gargron Thanks so much. All your work on this is highly appreciated. Believe me.
There will be a tiny birthday celebration @DFN cloud services next month together with @mellifluousbox looking back on 10 years Mastodon. Stay tuned…
