@Hiker @hamiller_friendica @evan @feb unfortunately it seems like AP is losing lots of trust from its core original users all around with these things for the sake of getting mainstream attention.
I trust Evan.
I don't trust the companies that Evan is trusting with the SWF. Most don't.
I think that's where the issue lies here.
When you talk about sharing data, it's now always assumed it's for financial gain instead of simple research.
For me, it depends on what data is requested and if it's anonymized or not.
I feel okay sharing certain data, as long as its anonymized and nobody will be making a profit off of my data. Strictly research purposes.

@BeAware @Hiker @hamiller_friendica @evan @feb Usually, once the “money men” show up, regardless of how well-intentioned they are, everything goes south.

And of the thousands of servers and their admins, who guarantees me “srictly research purposes”?
I'm always in favor of “Resist the beginnings”.

@Hiker @hamiller_friendica @evan @feb well, this is just a simple poll that Evan tends to do every day and nothing may ever come of it in reality.
In regards to SWF overall, I really believe that they need to be VERY transparent going forward in regards to what is being added or changed and if they'd do something like requiring a specific "feature" in AP developed software/apps.
As long as they state very clearly what's being added or changed, why, how it works, and if they will "require" it in AP apps going forward, then they can be trusted as far as their word goes.
Their actual actions and reasonings behind certain things that could be added, would need to be in good faith and not just for the sake of making someone else money.
If we can monetize our own data, I can see that being something worth looking into, but I don't want someone else to profit without me also profiting.
From what I understand, Fediverse works by relationships between users and that would be a good way to start a relationship, mutual benefit.
Overall, I'm very cautiously optimistic and only so because Evan is at the head. I've been here for about a year and a half and seen how he interacts with others and get a feel I understand his goals, even if superficially based on his words.
I can only wait and see how things work out over time.
I tend to ramble, so I hope this all makes sense.
