@eloquence@social.coop ever tried participating in the W3C standardization process? Be rich or go home!

    @eloquence@social.coop leaving X / Twitter is the only reasonable thing to do, if you want to preserve any brand reputation, that might be left. It’s not „a big deal“ to leave this burning garbage pile behind.

  • @fluepke@chaos.social @eloquence@social.coop There are certainly grounds to critique the W3C, but we are writing these messages using ActivityPub, a W3C standard that has definitely advanced the open web and manifestly is not dominated by “rich” interests.

    @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. @eloquence@social.coop

  • @fluepke@chaos.social @eloquence@social.coop Yes, I did. From experience, becoming an Invited Expert is simple enough and cost me nothing. (Doesn't mean I like the system.)
