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 hmm, maybe. There's a lot of other applications using activitypub and a lot of other experts, and we really need them to join too so that this doesn't become a mastodon-controlled group
@wheresalice absolutely. Those other folks should get involved. I’d rather have someone at the table than no one. But I’d love to see others there, same as you.
