The Fediverse versus The Federation

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM2025 #SocialWebFOSDEM #Fediverse #Federation #Friendica

The Social Web Foundation launched today. This non-profit is dedicated to making connections between social platforms with ActivityPub, and was co-founded by @evan @mallory and @tomcoates.

The foundation's focus is educating the public and policy makers about the social web, enhancing and extending the ActivityPub protocol, and building tools and plumbing to make the social web easier to use. “With this program, The Social Web Foundation can catalyze more growth on the Fediverse while improving user experience and safety,” says Prodromou. “Our goal is to unblock users, developers and communities so they can get the most out of their social web experience.”

We are proud to support the work of the foundation. Read more about the it here:

This is a milestone worth celebrating!
In development as we speak, @forgejo can now federate comments (and tons of other stuff) from issues in repos!!!

The first screenshot is @algernon (a Forgejo account able to be tagged in this post!) commenting on the issue: https://shoes.forgejo.madhouse-project.org/algernon/federation-test/issues/4 as seen in @phanpy while logged into my Mastodon account!
