W3C has posted that we are no longer active on X/Twitter and have directed all our followers here to Mastodon.

We are encouraging all W3C-related accounts to do the same.

Encourage your friends to follow us here!

@w3c Good call!

In case this wasn't already considered or in the plans: may I suggest to run a script that creates a snapshot of all w3c account's messages at the Internet Archive / Wayback Machine? I suspect that some is already archived but worth processing it all.

Preserving w3c account's history at a trusted third-party service like the IA would probably be handy in the future.

At this point there is even less of an assurance that messages will persist but worth checking this out now.

@csarven @w3c

or, since they have control on the database, they may copy (also) each old tweet on here with the original date and time from the tweet

since it's a script it would maybe create a copy on the Wayback Machine too

@w3c why not both?
@bluSCALE4 @w3c That's like asking a recovering drug addict why they don't continue to do drugs. Because it's a bad environment to be in!
@[email protected] @w3c It's more like telling Jesus Christ to stop preaching to heathens.
@bluSCALE4 @w3c I'll tell you now w3c ain't Jesus and the ones causing the issues over there aren't about to listen to anything w3c has to say about the web. They barely can hear their own conscious speaking.
@bluSCALE4 @w3c because twitter is unfavorable
@w3c yeah twitter is so dead and boring, they don't even let you talk there without forking over $20 a month to the apartheid martian with butt hair on his head
@w3c Welcome to the social web that you helped create!
@w3c thanks for leading the way!
@w3c sauf les fafs et les mascus, bien sรปr

@w3c im shocked you didnt do it earlier, considering you standarized the protocol lol
@sas We've been on Mastodon since 2017, it's just that we were previously on both Mastodon and x/Twitter.
@w3c welcome ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
@w3c Great stuff! But I wish you'd keep your account open a bit longer for people to RT you

@w3c @Em0nM4stodon
Thank you for showing that this (mastodon and the greater #fediverse as a whole) isn't "a nice experiment", but a real alternative to the centralised media (I wouldn't even call it social at this point).

I'm still hoping for the day that #scrimba and all my favourites from that other site join the fediverse.

@[email protected] Wholesome and standards-pilled ๐Ÿ’“
@w3c fantastic. Big boost.
@w3c You guys left X, nobody is on Twitter as it doesn't exist anymore. Good call.
@w3c What took you so long?

@w3c Yes, it was the second part I was referring to.
@w3c Thank you for doing this!

@w3c probably not a great idea to break old links unnecessarily by making the account protected
