Corporate social media locks you in to their platforms, but projects like the Fediverse put you in control to build a more free, more private, and better moderated web. It's exciting to see more people working to make independent social media even better.

"The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has some backing from Meta as well, alongside other major implementors of the ActivityPub protocol, including the social magazine app Flipboard, newsletter platform Ghost, Mastodon, and others. 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."

This is how capitalists begin to buy the fediverse.
