FinchHaven sfbaAh yes...
Or Mr #MaxiFedi as I like to call him
Willing to concede anything to expand his universe infinitely, consequences be damned
Fedizen ⁂ Fediverse News»#EvanProdromou, @evan, the research director at the #SocialWebFoundation and one of the people overseeing the #ActivityPub protocol, catches us up on all things social.« https://www.theverge.com/the-vergecast/618904/electric-cars-robotaxis-activitypub-fediverse-vergecast?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
FinchHaven infosecI probably shouldn't bother saying anything about any part of this #SocialWebFoundation thing, but IMO it's basically a creation of #EvanProdromou, Mr #MaxiFedi himself, someone who has never seen a #Fediverse either too large or too over-marketed
Also see: #EugenGargron, #MarkZuckerberg
It's fine for all the hardcore Fediverse expansionists, but what will it do for individual users?
Very little
Except bring in #Meta and #Bluesky
So now I've said enough
Which, regarding this topic and past experience with mods on instances I've left behind, may once again prove to be too much
Raccoon🇺🇸🏳️🌈So... Has anyone on here actually talked with the people from the #SocialWebFoundation?
I can tell the #Mastodon Organization has, but #Threads is also listed there, while I don't see any other names that aren't some corporate entity. I'm all for groups that want to expand the #Fediverse, even for-profit ones, but it's a red flag when an organization that purports to be for a general movement doesn't have an open line of communication with rank-and-file server-runners and volunteers...
Edit:
I just realized that it was founded by @evan who is actually very active in mainstream Fedi, and one of the maintainers of the actual protocol. While that doesn't elaborate on actual intentions, it is good to know that at least it's someone who is directly involved, and not some random corporation. #EvanProdromou
kaffeeringe.deDas Fediverse hat jetzt eine Organisation!
Das Prinzip des Fediverse ist dezentral. Eigentlich können alle tun uns lassen, was sie wollen, solange sie sich an das ActivityPub-Protokoll des W3-Consortiums hält. Die Social Web Foundation will sich jetzt aber darum kümmern, dass das Netzwerk wächst und gedeiht.

ronaldtemp1Life is so good with Mastodon and Lemmy. Thank you #evanprodromou and the authors of Mastodon and Lemmy!
Now let's speculate when mass exodus would occur bringing people from Instagram to PixelFed.
