@goetz @aral @TomWellborn Yes, we are a partner / member / supporter / … of the SocialWebFoundation, as I said above, because we think such an organisation is needed for the Fediverse to grow. We are not involved in the Foundation creation, or it's management, neither we have partnered with Meta about anything.

@renchap @goetz So you are a partner of Social Web Foundation and Meta is a partner of Social Web Foundation but you have not partnered with Meta. You’re just both listed under the partners section but aren’t partners. Am I getting that right?

@aral @goetz Mastodon supports the SWF foundation. They call us partners because of this support at launch I guess. I have no idea what relationship they have with Meta. And there is no relationship between Mastodon and Meta.
Similarly, Meta is a W3C member, Mastodon participates to some W3C meetings about ActivityPub.

@renchap @goetz Do you guys seriously not get why Meta wants to be on there and what it means for Meta to be on there? You’re whitewashing them. You’re telling people “they can’t be that bad… Mastodon would never partner with them if they were that bad.” I mean, do you really not see this?

@renchap @aral @goetz What is it they say about nazi bars? SWF is a club, that you voluntarily joined. That club embraces having Facebook as a member. And you still want to be in that club? Say what you want about “partnerships” or “relationships” to make yourself feel better. But, you’re hanging out at a nazi bar now, and you don’t see a problem with it. Oof.
