in reply to Fiona Krakenbürger • • •Yep.
The thing you announced this through: #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse 😀
The Fediverse is probably the most critical infrastructure to save democracy.
ActivityPub is the world’s leading federated social web standard.
A large community had given their last shirts to make it happen. It feels like a locomotive which is pulled by sewing thread.
Co-organised some Confs

The next Community meeting is Mar 29 virtually.

in reply to vagabond • • •Did ask directly cause this was also discussed in the W3C mailing list and a lot of people asked in the official forum and fedi already (probably in fediforum and socialhub too), in particular due to 1 sentence.
But I think it would be strange if my gov. asked some years ago and now it would turn out those projects are not applicable.
This would then be the same like prototype fund who even did not support all the ActivityPub applications …
@krakenbuerger
Could you answer public about this?
Maybe also about “bundling projects”?
Thank you so much.

in reply to Sebastian Lasse • • •/me thinking privately 😀
if those projects would not be applicable, the whole fund would fail and my gov. would just repeat the same fail like with Putins gas again.
A while ago it really seemed superclear to me that they _did_ understood that we have to prevent the next monopoly (also here) and it seemed clear to me that the gov. understood that we need an ActivityPub Client Ecosystem which is as _diverse_ as possible …
This _would_ without a doubt include such prosocial projects of all kinds. Currently we seem to be on a tipping point.

in reply to vagabond • • •Re. ActivityPub funding I think that @darius and @bobwyman made valid points in the Social CG mailing list.

My personal believe is that nearly all active projects _need_ some of _the same_ milestones, we could talk about teaming up on Wednesday, see

Maybe @krakenbuerger can confirm if this impression is fine.

Really many people did ask.
My personal believe is that nearly all active projects _need_ some of _the same_ milestones
(the projects are maybe “user-facing” but these milestones are infrastructure for sure).
Although I would ask myself what a huge power line means if there are no users cause power sockets for users are forbidden.
Can you confirm if this would be the right path then?

in reply to vagabond • • •@sl007 I'll be happy to join the discussion, maybe it will help me rebuild some of the lost believes in this world.
