   @manton I’m a bit insulted that it seems to be exclusively ActivityPub tech, I like the Social WG that preceded it and which also standardized MicroPub, Webmention, WebSub

   ActivityPub is important and interoperability is important – but this foundation seems to consider it as the one tech to rule all the social?

   I’m not so keen on that

     @voxpelli @manton There are plenty of other organizations working on other protocols. If you would like to support them, you should definitely go ahead. This one is the foundation to support the expansion and improvement of the Fediverse, built on ActivityPub.

     @evan @manton Also: Any non-companies involved or is this an organization to push commercial adoption or are also independent developers like @manton (and eg. me) relevant to it? I mostly see big company logos?

     @evan @manton Why picking a name that indicates that it’s something more than that then?

     And what went wrong with the plurality of tech in the Social WG? Maybe there’s an FAQ that puts this new foundation in its historical context and explains why it needed to be different?

     @voxpelli I'd definitely love to see @manton become a supporter. I'll reach out to him; thanks for the suggestion.

     @pfefferle @evan @manton Not sure if those Open Source projects that are referred to are projects like Mastodon and WordPress or projects done by smaller independent developers that don’t have dedicated people working in standards groups etc
