   The Social Web Foundation is launching today. It's a non-profit for the W3C standard, ActivityPub. But it *doesn't* include Bluesky, and W3C's founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee does not appear to even use the fediverse. So clearly there is work to do to. But the SWF looks promising nonetheless. Well done @evan and friends. https://thenewstack.io/social-web-foundation-launched-how-in-is-w3c-on-fediverse/ #Fediverse

     @ricmac No shame! It's on me; I didn't give you a time zone.

     My apologies, I have become *that guy* and jumped the gun on the press release. It was supposed to be 9am PT not ET :( #JournoShame Fortunately, the SWF team is rapidly rolling it out now.

     @ricmac I do want to note that the @w3c has been a steadfast supporter of ActivityPub. They host the Social Web Incubator Community Group and publish the documents that define the standard. We'll be meeting to discuss ActivityPub enhancements at TPAC, the W3C annual conference, this week. And w3c.social is one of the oldest instances on the fediverse, where dozens of w3c staff, member representatives and volunteers have their accounts. The W3C has our back.
