@alexiaAlexia ΘΔ @liaizonwakest ⁂ I don't think SWF wants to be "the" organization for defining applications on the Fediverse, but we do want to clear obstacles to collaboration between developers. There are at least two other groups doing social standards on ActivityPub right now:

- The Social Web Community Group at the W3C (@socialcg@w3.social). This is an open group for extending and improving ActivityPub and related standards. There are task forces for forums, groups, end-to-end encryption, remixing, discovery, data portability, trust and safety, geosocial data, and more.
- The FEP process. Loosely connected to the SocialCG but more lightweight. https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/
