(See my coverage of the announcement over here.)\n\nThe New Stack:The fediverse has been a critical development in the open web over the past several years, since most of the social media landscape is dominated by centralized platforms \u2014 including Meta. If we want the open web to not just survive, but perhaps thrive again one day, we should all (hopefully including the father of the web) get behind the fediverse and support the Social Web Foundation.WeDistribute:\u201cI wish I would\u2019ve started it five years ago,\u201d Evan explains in a call, \u201cWe\u2019re seeing growth of ActivityPub in the commercial sector, we want to help guide that work, especially for devs that don\u2019t know how to engage with the Fediverse, or the work that happens in private spaces. As we\u2019re seeing a lot of growth, it\u2019s important to help push that growth forward, we\u2019re really filling in the crack no other organization is doing.\u201dTechCrunch:Part of the group\u2019s efforts will be focused on making the fediverse more user-friendly. Though Mastodon offers a service that functions much like Twitter/X, its decentralized nature \u2014 meaning there are multiple servers to choose from \u2014 makes getting started confusing and difficult for less technical users. Then, much like X, there\u2019s the cold start problem of finding interesting people to follow.The W3C:We are happy to share that today the Social Web Foundation launched with a mission to help the fediverse to grow healthy, multi-polar, and financially viable. We are looking forward to continuing to support the work that [Evan Prodromou, Tom Coates, and Mallory Knodel] are planning in the new non-profit foundation for expanding and improving ActivityPub and the fediverse. We are delighted that to the Foundation will be becoming a W3C Member.Vivaldi:The Fediverse reminds us of the early days of the Web. We are competing against silos and corporate interests, using a W3C-based open standard and a distributed solution. It\u2019s great that social networking companies are supporting the Fediverse, and Vivaldi is pleased to support Social Web Foundation so that we can once again have a town square free of algorithms and corporate control.Independent Federated Trust & Safety:ActivityPub has enabled thousands of platforms to communicate seamlessly across the Fediverse. This framework encourages a healthier online experience by supporting diversity of thought and content while redistributing governance back to the communities that can best serve their members. In an era where centralised networks dominate, the SWF\u2019s commitment to open standards represents a renewed opportunity for a democratic and inclusive web.And then Evan Prodromou wrote his own post on the launch:\nMany people have ideas about what the Fediverse needs to be bigger, safer, and easier to use. But the solutions they propose fall between the cracks of any one implementer or service. We want the SWF to be the entity that takes on those jobs.\nNot everyone agrees that the Fediverse needs to be available to more people. That\u2019s OK. And not everyone is going to be comfortable with the mix of commercial and Open Source implementers plus civil society groups that form the support for the SWF. That\u2019s OK too. Hopefully, our work will still benefit you.\nExciting times for the web.",

Unlocking the Fediverse: The Social Web Foundation is Shaping the Next Era of the Web

    "content": {
        "text": "I\u2019m extraordinarily excited about\u00a0the launch of the Social Web Foundation, which has been created to promote and support the growth of the Fediverse: the interoperable social network powered by the ActivityPub protocol.\n\nUsers of services on the Fediverse can follow, share, and interact with each other, regardless of which service each one is using. The most famous Fediverse platform is Mastodon, but there are many more participants, including Threads, Flipboard, and Ghost.\n\nFrom the announcement:[\u2026] Advocates of this increased platform choice say it will bring more individual control, more innovation, and a healthier social media experience. But there is work to do: journalism, activism, and the public square remain in a state of uncertain dissonance and privacy, safety and agency remain important concerns for anyone participating in a social network.The Foundation\u2019s founding members are Mallory Knodel, the former CTO of the Center for Democracy and Technology; Evan Prodromou, one of the creators of ActivityPub and its current editor (who just published the canonical book on the topic); and Tom Coates, a product designer and founder who was one of the earliest bloggers and has been involved in many things that have been good on the web. They become the Executive Director, Research Director, and Product Director respectively.\n\nExcitingly, the Foundation\u2019s partners are a who\u2019s who of companies doing great work on the web today. Those include Automattic, Ghost, Flipboard, Fastly, Medium, and Mastodon itself. Meta is also a backer, in an indication of its continued investment in the Fediverse, moving away from the walled garden strategy that it used with Facebook and Instagram for decades.\n\nIn a conversation with Richard MacManus over on The New Stack, Evan explained the Foundation\u2019s relationship with existing standards organizations like the W3C:\n\u201cW3C as a standards organization mostly does coordinating the work of a number of different groups to make protocols [\u2026] So we\u2019ll still be participating in the W3C \u2014 we\u2019re going to become a member organization of the W3C.\u201d\nProdromou added that the SWF will take on the role of advocacy and user education, which is typically outside of the W3C\u2019s purview for standards work.\nMy opinion: this is the future of the social web. Every new service and platform that contains social features \u2014 which is most of them \u2014 will support the ActivityPub protocol within the next few years. Service owners can use it to easily avoid the \u201ccold start\u201d problem when creating new networks, and to plug their existing platforms into a ready-made network of hundreds of millions of people. Publishers will use it to reach their audiences more easily. And it\u2019s where the global conversation will be held.\n\nWhen I was building social platforms in the 2000s, this is what we dreamed of. Elgg, the open source social networking platform which launched my career, was intended to be the center of a federated social web. Although we made some crucial steps towards open data protocols and embracing open standards, we didn\u2019t get there. I\u2019m beyond thrilled that the Fediverse and ActivityPub exist, and that there are so many robust platforms that support it. The Social Web Foundation is another great step towards building the social web that we all deserve.\n\nAs Casey Newton published just yesterday about the future of his publication, Platformer:One way I hope it will evolve is to become part of the fediverse: the network of federated sites and apps that are built with interoperability in mind. The fediverse is built on top of protocols, not platforms, which offers us a chance to decentralize power on the internet and built a more stable foundation for media and social apps.The Social Web Foundation\u2019s existence as an advocacy, research, and development organization is another key step towards making that happen. But to be clear, its role is in support: each one of its partner organizations has already taken concrete steps towards supporting ActivityPub, and the movement is well underway.\n\nCheck out the Social Web Foundation and its projects at its website.",
