Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined forces with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.

This is a solid path forward for small tech.

@markwyner And among those are the both technical fundamentals of the #Fediverse, which are also implemented in Mastodon:
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams
ActivityPub

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

@StefanMuenz yep. I love that ActivityPub is a recommendation.
