ActivityPub, the protocol that powers much of the fediverse and allows the various fediverse platforms and servers to talk to each other, has become an official W3C standard 8 years ago!

ActivityPub is now a W3C Recommendation

Yet, given major #ActivityPub implementors don't give a shit about #W3C standard, the only way a working group can produce any protocol change is on sound technical merits.

Otherwise the standard will say irrelevant.

And on a deeper look, despite the huge limits of #Mastodon gmbh, so far it's still better then W3C.

On the complexities of protocol governance.

>There are only two organisations that are active in the fediverse that are a paid member of the W3C: Meta and the Social Web Foundation.

>With the Social Web Foundation also receiving funding from Meta, the company that built Threads now has more institutional standing in ActivityPub governance than any of the organisations actually building open fediverse software.

>Mastodon gGmbH, Framasoft, and others are not W3C members and cannot participate in the Working Group unless they are invited.

ActivityPub standardization is back! The #W3C just announced a new Working Group to evolve #ActivityPub and #ActivityStream and related standards! This is extremely good news. It's not like all the world's federated social media protocol problems were already solved! https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-socialweb/2026Jan/0000.html
