While that doesn't elaborate on actual intentions, it is good to know that at least it's someone who is directly involved, and not some random corporation. #EvanProdromou

Das Fediverse hat jetzt eine Organisation!

Das Prin­zip des Fedi­ver­se ist dezen­tral. Eigent­lich kön­nen alle tun uns las­sen, was sie wol­len, solan­ge sie sich an das Acti­­vi­­ty­­Pub-Pro­­to­­koll des W3-Con­­sor­­ti­ums hält. Die Social Web Foun­da­ti­on will sich jetzt aber dar­um küm­mern, dass das Netz­werk wächst und gedeiht.
