The Social Web Foundation's vision is broadening to "also support efforts to make other [non-ActivityPub] distributed social networking protocols more open and equitable."

@j12t SocialWebFoundation is intrinsically tied to Meta
@wendinoakland @j12t Yes, Meta is one of our supporters.
@evan @j12t Thx. Until there is an irrefutable about face from Meta retracting their free-for-all on verbal abuse and diminishment of others, I can’t use an affiliate platform without myself supporting their horrific stance. It’s just not ok.
I don’t understand how it’s acceptable for us to now have to battle nazis, because they’re your buds. Understand? Not my problem, not my friends.
@wendinoakland @j12t that's not how open standards work. Anyone can implement ActivityPub and connect to the social web. They don't need the SWF's permission. Whether your server federates or not is up to you and your community! That's what makes the Fediverse great.
@wendinoakland @evan @j12t Meta and Threads will exist no matter whether Fedi servers block it or not. Insofar as there is no measurable consequence of *our* stance, theoretically being able to interact with their accounts via an affiliate platform doesn't mean supporting anything
@wendinoakland @evan @j12t their phenomenon won't go away by declaring those folks on Threads to be mostly Nazis, to the contrary
@supergrobi @evan @j12t There’s no reason to offer a friendly hand to any group that willingly condones misinformation. They do whatever they want to, and I prefer to stay away from them. Xitter exists, and I’m not there. That’s all. Their ToS has changed.
