I'd like to see people stewarding a standard abstaining from openly instrumentalizing the standardization process for their own agenda.

But then, I also see people posting things like "I’m going to continue doing the work I’ve done for the W3C and other ActivityPub projects: protocol refinement, documentation, meetings, speaking engagements, reports. But from here, I’ll be doing it with my SWF hat on."

And when people openly say what they are going to do, I believe them.

Which means, essentially, that I neither trust you, nor the foundation, and particularly not the "advisors" that foundation has chosen.
