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
