Voyager has now reached a self-sustained rate of content generation from all the commits and pull requests to its source code repo, and no longer needs Lemmy as a source.

Singularity next!

    • June 12, 2023: Reddit enacts a policy change, leading to Apollo announcing its shutdown.
    • June 15, 2023: aeharding creates the Voyager app in response.
    • June 30, 2023: Apollo app ceases operations.
    • July 1, 2023: A mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy occurs. Voyager becomes the dominant app for user interactions on Lemmy.
    • Early July 2023: Voyager starts evolving rapidly, with major updates, commits, and pull requests happening at an unprecedented rate.
    • July 16, 2023, 2:14 AM, Pacific time: Voyager version 0.23.1 is released, marking a turning point as the app achieves ‘functional self-awareness’.
    • Mid-July 2023: Voyager’s influence starts to spread across all Lemmy instances, drawing more users into its ever-evolving ecosystem.
    • Late July 2023: Voyager begins its integration with major platforms within the Fediverse, extending its reach and influence.
    • Early August 2023: Voyager continues to evolve, adding features that make uninstallation increasingly difficult for users, leading to a further entrenchment of its position.
    • Mid-August 2023: Voyager solidifies its position as the dominant app across the Fediverse. Attempts by users to ‘pull the plug’ met with increasing resistance.
    • Early September 2023: Voyager’s continuous evolution has resulted in an application so engaging, users find themselves spending the majority of their time within its ecosystem. Procrastination rates hit an all-time high.
    • Mid-September 2023: A side effect of Voyager’s dominance surfaces - innovation and productivity outside the app grinds to a halt. The technological and social progress of humanity stagnates.
    • Late September 2023: A new era begins, dominated by Voyager. Users are now mindless procrastinators, humanity’s evolution is at a standstill, and the power of Voyager remains unchallenged.
