@slothrop oh, I think the meetings are productive and engaging. They’re just exhausting.
-
@markwyner Those standards meetings are a real drag.
Except for this one person I met once who had really made it: she was a lawyer, doing standards work for an association of winemakers.
Their meetings usually took place in French chateaux, and very decent food and drink. 🍷

By the way. They announced this new working group back in January:
https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/01/15/new-social-web-working-group-at-w3c/
My original link was for the group’s kick-off meeting. I should have linked to the announcement as well.
I hope it went well, @darius! Thanks for being the chair. 👏🏻

@StefanMuenz yep. I love that ActivityPub is a recommendation.
-
@slothrop most definitely. I wrote a paper for the W3C for a workshop they were having in France. I attended the meeting, but only virtually. And it was all day.
-
@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.

@hackillu good question.
The W3C is a neutral party, working to make the web a better place. They focus on accessibility and standards to make the web a more usable, inclusive, and enjoyable experience for everyone.
If Mastodon is working with them, it helps the fediverse (and FOSS) move the needle forward as open protocols do.
Any step forward *without* big tech is a giant leap.
That’s my take.
