Nomadic identity was invented in 2011 by Mike Macgirvin. The year before, he had released a Facebook competitor named Mistpark, meanwhile renamed to {{Internal link |target=What is Friendica? |link-name=Friendika}}. But decentralisation and community-run public nodes, as instances are called on Friendica, had started showing a side-effect, namely users losing their online identities and all their data whenever a node shut down. This would sometimes happen without announcement.
