The foundation will focus on improving ActivityPub and the user experience, informing policymakers, and educating people about the fediverse and how they can participate. They currently have some backing from Meta, Flipboard, Ghost, Mastodon, and others, and the Ford Foundation has also offered the organization a large grant to get the project started. In total, SWF is closing in on $1 million in financial support (or was, as of September) (from TechCrunch)
