Social networks have transformed the way we communicate, bringing new opportunities and new problems. Now they’re evolving once more – into open and decentralized spaces that no one organization controls.
The Social Web Foundation works to grow this new ecosystem in an open, healthy, and sustainable way—working with technologists and the public to build a new global town square that works for everyone.
Mission
The Social Web Foundation’s mission is a growing, healthy, sustainable and multi-polar Fediverse
Specifically defines Fediverse as being ActivityPub based:
The Fediverse, also known as the social web, is a network of independent social platforms connected by the open standard protocol ActivityPub.
Users on a participating platform can follow their friends or interesting people on any other platform on the network — liking, commenting, sharing and posting together.
