Is this the same Meta that Mastodon partnered with to create the Social Web Foundation?How odd, I thought they were the good guys…https://socialwebfoundation.org/mission/#meta #mastodon #SocialWebFoundation https://universeodon.com/@TomWellborn/113279390984674388

@aral I don't get what they mean with "…financially viable and multi-polar Fediverse…" but I guess it means that then. 🤷♂️:troll: Maybe polar in the sense of: If there is ActivityPub projects with no money at all, we also have to embrace some with loads of it. Polarity and all. Just to even things out in the grand scheme.

@aral @TomWellborn Mastodon did not partner with anyone. We support the SWF because we feel this is really needed for the Fediverse to move forward. Meta might think the same, but there is no such partnership (or any other kind of relationship)

@aral "We want the Fediverse to be financially viable." Putting that at #3 seems calculated, like... not last as a closer, not up front wither. Linux seems to do okay without being financially viable and tbh, I prefer companies stay off of the fedi if they're looking to profit from the system.

@renchapMastodon gGmbH is listed as a partner of the #SocialWebFoundation! The mission of SWF does not match, if not contradicts the purpose and object of the gGmbH.In my point of view this is the beginning of "embrace, extend and extinguish" of #activitypub like we saw with #xmpp @aral @TomWellborn

@goetz @aral @TomWellborn Yes, we are a partner / member / supporter / … of the SocialWebFoundation, as I said above, because we think such an organisation is needed for the Fediverse to grow. We are not involved in the Foundation creation, or it's management, neither we have partnered with Meta about anything.

@renchap @goetz So you are a partner of Social Web Foundation and Meta is a partner of Social Web Foundation but you have not partnered with Meta. You’re just both listed under the partners section but aren’t partners. Am I getting that right?

@aral @goetz Mastodon supports the SWF foundation. They call us partners because of this support at launch I guess. I have no idea what relationship they have with Meta. And there is no relationship between Mastodon and Meta.Similarly, Meta is a W3C member, Mastodon participates to some W3C meetings about ActivityPub.

@renchap @goetz Do you guys seriously not get why Meta wants to be on there and what it means for Meta to be on there? You’re whitewashing them. You’re telling people “they can’t be that bad… Mastodon would never partner with them if they were that bad.” I mean, do you really not see this?

@renchap @aral @goetz What is it they say about nazi bars? SWF is a club, that you voluntarily joined. That club embraces having Facebook as a member. And you still want to be in that club? Say what you want about “partnerships” or “relationships” to make yourself feel better. But, you’re hanging out at a nazi bar now, and you don’t see a problem with it. Oof.
