Yeah this Social Web Foundation thing is a complete non-starter with Facebook in it.

Why are some corners of Fedi so horny for corpo approval?

@thomholwerda What's with this reactionary take? It's exactly like the people getting mad because Meta had something to do with Godot just a few days ago.

Meta is NOT part of the leadership of the SFW, they just expressed support. I literally don't understand what's wrong with this, especially seeing as how the rest of the orgs are mostly not corporations or companies with a bad track record.

If anything, it seems that some corners of Fedi are so horny for hating everything that mentions Meta, and it's thoroughly disappointing to see.

Leadership The founding team of SWF merges knowledge of the Fediverse with a user-centric mindset. Evan Prodromou, current editor of the ActivityPub specification and author of the book “ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web” from O’Reilly Media, is Research Director. Mallory Knodel, previously CTO of the Center for Democracy and Technology and human rights and internet standards researcher, will act as Executive Director. Tom Coates, product designer and entrepreneur, will serve as the organization’s Product Director. Mallory Knodel (@mallory@techpolicy.social) says, “To fight inequality, participate in democracy, build an equitable society and economy, we can’t rely on a few corporate-owned, profit-driven spaces. The Social Web Foundation is our best chance to establish the conditions in which the new social media operates with zero harm.”

Industry support The founders are supported by advisors from the social networking world including Chris Messina, Kaliya (Identity Woman) Young and Johannes Ernst, as well as companies and Open Source projects that have implemented ActivityPub: Mastodon Flipboard Automattic Meta Ghost Pixelfed Medium IFTAS Write.as Fastly Vivaldi The BLVD “Mastodon is committed to the Fediverse and proud to back the Social Web Foundation’s efforts to build a stronger, more open, and dynamic social web for all,” says Eugen Rochko, Founder and CEO, Mastodon (@Gargron@mastodon.social). “Our vision for Threads has always been to make it the place for public conversation, and interoperability is an important part of that. That’s why we integrated Threads with the Fediverse through ActivityPub,” says Rob Sherman, VP and Deputy Chief of Privacy Officer at Meta (@robsherman@threads.net). “We believe that the Fediverse helps create a more diverse ecosystem that empowers users to connect, share, and learn from each other in new and innovative ways.” “Automattic is excited about the launch of the Social Web Foundation and its mission,” says Matthias Pfefferle, Open Web Lead at Automattic, makers of WordPress.com “We’re eager to collaborate with the Foundation to expand platform diversity and enhance the support for various content types—especially long-form content—within the Fediverse, fostering greater interoperability across the ecosystem.”

@alextecplayz @thomholwerda

If the motto for corporate behavior towards FOSS&Co is - embrace>extend>extinguish
then the motto for FOSS&Co should be - accept sponsorship>interoperability>have a better and attractive alternative.

Does it make sense? Idk, it's an idea, and I'd love to see if it works

@thomholwerda don't you think that if Meta is going to be on the Fediverse, they should support its growth and development?
