Comment on The need for a Fedi Union.

Good idea, but It would hard to cooperate efficiently when there is money involved. And I don’t think that Mastodon devs would join this union.
On the other hand, I believe that separate organisation focused on interoperability, long-term goals, defending from Meta, etc. would be great.

This seems a lot more achievable - joint fundraising is just guaranteed to go wrong but an ActivityPub Oversight Committee focused on what the whole ecosystem would need to work seamlessly together seems a good thing.

Exactly!

It could see where issues lie and direct attention to solving them. If it raised it’s own funds it could create bounties to crack specific issues.
So I just posted this and it seems like a single ActivityPub login is doable through the API, no-one has implemented it. That seems like a good target.
