Poll: How should the Social Web Foundation engage with Meta?

submitted by The Nexus of Privacy

The Social Web Foundation (SWF) is a new non-profit with a mission of "a growing, healthy, financially viable and multi-polar Fediverse”. In TechCrunch, Sarah Perez reported that SWF has "some backing" from Meta as well as Flipboard, Ghost, Mastodon, and others as well as a "large grant" from the Ford Foundation. "In total, SWF is closing in on $1 million in financial support."

One of the hot buttons in the discussion is SWF's relationship with Meta. So I set up a series of polls on Mastodon. Here are the options for this one -- I'm not sure how to do polls on Lemmy, so please leave your thoughts in the comments

  • SWF shouldn't engage with Meta at all
  • SWF should work with Meta occasionally, when it's necessary
  • SWF should work with Meta together often, but no formal relationship
  • SWF should have Meta as a partner, advisor, or some other formal relatoinship, but no funding
  • SWF should take funding from Meta, but no formal relationship
  • SWF should take funding from Meta *and* a formal relatiionship

and Albatross's wording "and it's ilk"

I have no idea what "ilk" means. I assumed it's another one of those zoomer phrases like "no cap", "ick" or "smh".

Quite the opposite, it's very very old. :)

ilk noun

• family, class, or kind: "he and all his ilk."

ilk means kind in this instance.
