The international web standards organization W3C is no longer active on X/Twitter and has directed all their followers to Mastodon.

About time
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.
- When the nerds that invent and maintain the internet do something then I know it means something
Great news
- Let the web2 exodus, BEGIN!!!!!!
  
  Is "web2" a thing? I've only ever heard it used by web3 shills, and never outside of Twitter or LinkedIn.
- If anything... I'm surprised it took so long!
I just followed them on Mastodon a few days ago.
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
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.
  
  May I present the super alternative:

Wow, they fixed 1 out of 1234567 possible issues, and is none of the actual web standards!
