@Gargron @swf@socialwebfoundation.org I gave SWF the benefit of the doubt for a little while to let others dig into it, but SWF doesn't seem good at all for the Fediverse. There's already a lack of transparency.
WHY are there stakeholders? Why is there a team of self-chosen leaders instead of letting the entire 'Fediverse' vote on this? What are the concrete goals of the foundation?
- Where are proposals for some universal moderation tools and functionality that would be integrated in AP and the 'main' AP services such as Mastodon?
- WHO exactly are the stakeholders? What are each stakeholder's % in SWF? (For example, is Meta's stake bigger than Mastodon's?)
- Why are companies known to ignore extremist and hateful content (Meta, Medium) on board? Nothing specifically against Meta working on improving Fedi, but they don't have a great track record, even with the recent Threads release.
