OK ... I'll bite ... Who are you and what do you do and does what ever it is you do matter to the ordinary person ...?

Yes, I know I could Google the general gist, but if your leaving Xitter is such a big deal I want to know why :)

Ok. Imagine no one would set up standards how the data on a website has to be displayed in the varriaty of different browsers. Nor set up rules how links between websites are handled. There simply would be no such thing as the internet, that's how ordinary people are affected by what they did. :blobcattea:

@MyView @w3c wikipedia: "The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web. Founded in 1994 and led by Tim Berners-Lee, the consortium is made up of member organizations that maintain full-time staff working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. As of 5 March 2023, W3C had 462 members.[3][2] W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web."

@MyView @w3c they're the standards organisation for the web. They create and maintain the standards that are used for websites and related technologies (HTTP, HTML, CSS, XML, etc).

They also maintain the ActivityPub protocol, used by the Fediverse.
