Free Our Feeds

Ben Werdmuller, Werd I/O, Jan 13, 2025

There's a bit of a land rush happening to be the 'voice of the fediverse', that is, the non-profit or volunteer group that represents what the fediverse things it should be. The latest is Free our Feeds: "Nabiha Syed is the ED of the Mozilla Foundation and is joined by Mark Surman, its President; Robin Berjon...; Eli Pariser ... who co-founded Avaaz and used to run MoveOn; Mallory Knodel is the ED of the ActivityPub-centric Social Web Foundation." Ben Werdmuller comments, "So the Social Web Foundation is ActivityPub-centric and Free Our Feeds is AT Protocol-centric. My (figurative) money is increasingly on A New Social, which posits that all these individual protocols." Let's not forget the actual ActivityPubs project, and the standard which was created by W3C, which took over from the old OpenSocial.
