The Social Web Foundation 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.”

Here’s a series of Mastodon polls about SWF. I’m not sure how to do polls on Lemmy, but if you have thoughts, please share in the comments!
