https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub
ActivityPub is a standard for the Internet in the Social Web Networking Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The standard was co-authored by Evan Prodromou, creator of StatusNet (now known as GNU social). At an earlier stage, the name of the protocol was “ActivityPump”, but it was felt that ActivityPub better indicated the cross-publishing purpose of the protocol. It is the most widely supported standard (by some margin) in the Fediverse.
Full force fediverse
I mean W3C created ActivityPub, it’s only fitting they peruse what they had created
“Peruse” means to read carefully.
There are many memes to be perused
When the nerds that invent and maintain the internet do something then I know it means something
Great news
If anything… I’m surprised it took so long!
Hope everyone from twitter moves to mastodon.
Please no, no need for political extremists and bots on Mastodon.
Hey, some bots are cool. There are even whole instances devoted to bots, like botsin.space.
Spambots can go to hell though, along with their creators.
I mean too late for that, considering both Truth Social and Gab use Mastodon forks. The good thing is that you can just defederate from them.
This is great. A big thing like W3C switching to Mastodon surely will have an impact
I just followed them on Mastodon a few days ago.
Good to hear!
Good!

They went downhill after ms got control anyway.
Yeah screw the w3c. Only use they got these days is for html tutorials.
Fun fact: w3schools has nothing to do with w3c and there used to be a whole website dedicated to giving them shit. They’ve apparently gotten much better these days though.
Honestly I have much less of a problem with some degree of inaccurate info than wasting my time by not immediately geting to the point in concisely giving me the bit of syntax I was searching for to begin with. That’s what they’ve always got right that other sources were getting wrong.
I’m pretty sure that trademarks were invented so companies could prevent confusion like this by using the legal system. That way no-one can try profiting off a similar branding, and no-one can harm their reputation by making poor products apparently in another company’s name. W3C has a trademark registration for their name. https://www.w3.org/trademarks/
Oh so I have absolutely no reason to even like w3c at all? Dont use w3cschools much anymore these days. I know they have other stuff for more languages but theres better resources when it comes to those.
What’s your issue with the W3C?
They allowed for the inclusion of DRM into HTML5. This DRM is not open-source, can’t even be source audited and refused to back down. Such a move caused the EFF (electronic frontier foundation) to resign from the group. Here’s the EFF’s letter where they outline these issues if you want to give it a read: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/open-letter-w3c-director-ceo-team-and-membership
I could also write about them bowing to Google but the DRM thing annoys me more.
And then Tim Berners-Lee has the audacity to complain about the state of the internet. Something his group could’ve actually stopped or slowed.
May I present the super alternative:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML
And afterwards get everything else at:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Oh yeah. Forgot that exists. Their image-border generator was far better than the w3c equivalent.
Wow, they fixed 1 out of 1234567 possible issues, and is none of the actual web standards!
