@slothrop oh, I think the meetings are productive and engaging. They’re just exhausting.

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.

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined 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.

This is Hank Williams Sr. He used to live above the my studio.

We used to startle each other. I’d open my door and he’d be there on a tree a foot away. We’d stop and stare at each other. Then calmly walk our separate ways.

On this day he just leapt onto the screen and stayed there for a couple of minutes while I talked to him.

@bodhipaksa 😂

Took me a sec, but I got there.

@jsit thanks! If I had known the artist name I would have added a credit. But I def don’t link to meta sites.

@grumpydad @stargazersmith

I’m loving these.

@danish_akhtar7 facts! 😂❤️

When you have all the answers.

@markarayner 😂

@jwildeboer nice. I didn’t know this was how it worked over there. Except for the borders/rights, these things are not unlike being able to move around between states in the U.S.

I guess I’ve taken that for granted. Traveling across the country here requires almost no thought, unless you’re marginalized.

@evacide you’d go right into my RSS reader.

@sundogplanets cows are maybe my favorite. I love them so much.

@darius

@doug glad you’re on the mend. Onward and upward indeed.

I’ve been in dark places recently. I didn’t know if I was gonna make it through the holidays. Lots of depression, anxiety, and drinking.

Man, did I need a lift. And I got it.

My lovely friend @resl visited us in Portland. We met for vegan food and uplifting conversation. She also brought her rad friend @darius who I met for the first time at lunch. We have tons in common and I’m grateful she introduced us.

What a gift. This was a good day. ❤️
