The absence of any Lemmy mention seems weird to me.
The list of shout-outs in the main announcement pertains to projects who have partnered with the SWF, and intend to support it and collaborate.
It's also worth keeping in mind that there are more than 80 different platforms in varying states of development. Yeah, Lemmy is one of the bigger ones, and OG Threadiverse, but the list of platforms to name is absurdly long at this point. I think it makes sense for them to focus on the protocol, and immediate partners.
I hear you, but it features Mastodon very prominently and Mastodon aren't exactly reputable for supporting anything. Going as far as to implement things in a manner that breaks compatibility with other Fediverse services.
I don't disagree, but again, the listed platforms are launch partners who have opted to publicly support the organization on Day 1. It very well could be that they reached out to Lemmy and other projects, and didn't hear anything back.
Not at all. Evan is advocating for the development of ActivityPub as the basis for the social graph, not any specific application: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/113143389340566731
