This is a big deal:
The W3C, founded in 1994 by web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, has quit X and declared the fediverse to be their primary social media channel. Follow them at: @w3c
The future of the open web is .. the open web.
@eloquence why is it?
W3C does not stand for an open web. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encrypted_Media_Extensions
@eloquence ever tried participating in the W3C standardization process? Be rich or go home!
Mima-sama @fluepke@chaos.social #W3C has pretty much become a rubberstamp for the #Google-led cartel that is the #WHATWG. An organization that doesn't give smaller browsers like #PaleMoon, #LadyBird, and #Lynx a voice in the writing of specs for web standards like #HTML5 and #CSS3 does not deserve support, and should not be seen as an ally of the #openweb.

@mima @fluepke @eloquence Can you elaborate on WHATWG? I did participate in both W3C and WHATWG groups and the latter was definitely open and friendly towards individuals and their contributions.

@fluepke @mima @eloquence I meant that I don't understand the criticism of the WHATWG and would like it to get elaborated. In contrast, I'd certainly understand why there's an issue with the W3C (except perhaps the Community Groups).
