Federated Website & App Alliance (FWAA)

Welcome to the future home of the Federated Website & App Alliance.

The purpose of the association is to provide resources for the operators of fediverse communities and fediverse-enabled websites, such as community rules, example privacy statements, and more.

Most of these resources will be provided for free.

The goal of the organization is to help small and independent operators start and grow their own federated communities using technologies such as ActivityPub and OpenWebAuth.

Resources

Our first set of resources is a collection of example policies that you can use for your communities.

• Community Rules
• Terms of Service
• Privacy Policy
• Social Media Risk Assessment
• Soliciting & Promotion Policy

Tip: If you look at the source tab, you can copy the markdown version of these policies.

You will need to modify these examples for your situation and for your legal jurisdiction. They have NOT been reviewed by an attorney in your jurisdiction. It is recommended that you consult a competent attorney in order to modify these to be consistent with the laws in your jurisdiction. Use at your own risk.

Membership

Membership has not been opened to the public yet, but when we do open membership up to the public, there will be multiple membership levels, including a Free Associate membership.

We want to open up membership to as many people as we can, regardless of the ability to pay.

Next Steps

Our first actions will include publishing example community rules that are suitable for both social media websites and forum websites.

More to come.
