This network has been my life’s work. Thanks for making it.
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm Us too!
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm thanks. That’s a fair critique. I’ll see what I can do to get the full status of the project onto those pages.
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm It took me a while to figure out what you meant here.
The projects are just starting because the organisation just launched. We’ll show the deliverables on those pages when they’re done.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It’s really helpful.
@jackemled@furry.engineer @AngelicAura@pol.social @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm IFTAS is awesome.
@AngelicAura@pol.social @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm why? That’s not what we’re working on at all. What made you think the point is advertising and trackers?
@tom@tomkahe.com @BeAware@social.beaware.live @DrakkenZero@retro.pizza @swf@socialwebfoundation.org that’s right. We’re using the AP plugin. Great to use!
@BeAware@social.beaware.live I don’t think our goal is just to make money. I do think that having a financially viable Fediverse is important; it’s one of our goals. But that can mean a lot of different things: coops, non-profits, grants, or companies.
But the money is a means to an end: having positive, independent social networking software and services.
@AngelicAura@pol.social @Flipboard@flipboard.social @mallory@techpolicy.social @tomcoates@me.dm yes, we think that moderators and admins shouldn’t have to go broke and quit and shut down their servers.
We’d like to help figure out ways to keep them going – I prefer the coop model, like the CoSocial server I use, but that’s not for everyone.
