to bring federate private groups out of the realm of theoretical possibility and into reality
Federated private groups are already a reality, in Hubzilla/Streams (FEP-171b) and Smithereen (FEP-400e). Of course, you know about that, we talked about private groups many times.
And don't even get me started on federated payments and subscriptions.
There is work with the Interledger Foundation to make the financial side happen
I am sure it's just a coincidence that Interledger starts getting praise after making a generous donation to Social Web Foundation.
Combining groups and payments into a fedi-forward service for content creators
@silverpill@mitra.social I have no stake in Interledger, my interests go as far as "I don't want to have to muck about with rolling my own payment processing", and that's it.
@jeremiah@alpaca.gold and @reiver@mastodon.social were present to discuss their experience in the finance side of things, and their input was appreciated. I made sure to stress the importance that as much of this needs to be out of my hands as possible (this also tracks with a lot of my opinions about AP adoption, too)
Combining groups and payments into a fedi-forward service for content creators
As for federated private groups, while I know they exist in Hubzilla and Streams, they're not broadly compatible with 1b12, which you must agree has far outclassed both 400e and 171b in usage.
While that alone is not a reason to pick one FEP over another, it makes it worth considering for that point alone.
@silverpill @julian @fedimtl @ozoned @reiver @johannab @j12t @paige @mayel In this case, yes! I was only briefly in this session, and I didn't talk about Web Monetization.
SWF received money from ILF to work on four research projects: Fediverse sustainability, creator economy, cooperatives, and Web Monetization in multimedia Fediverse apps. We're not a buzz marketing agency.
I post about our work in our blog, but I'm also happy to answer your direct questions any time.
