Das #Fediverse... unendliche Weiten. Ein Teil davon besteht aus #Mastodon-#Instanzen. Aber eben nur ein Teil.

Der Begriff Fediverse setzt sich aus "federation" und "universe" zusammen. Oder eben "federated universe", zu Deutsch "föderiertes Universum".

Der Begriff Fediverse (manchmal auch #Fediversum, selten #Födiversum) bezeichnet ein #Netzwerk föderierter, voneinander unabhängiger sozialer Netzwerke, #Mikroblogging-Dienste und Webseiten für Online-Publikation oder Daten-Hosting.

Das Konzept kam 2008 mit #GNU #Social auf und verbreitete sich 2016 vermehrt mit Mastodon und dem 2018 vom World Wide Web Consortium (#W3C) definierten #Kommunikationsprotokoll #ActivityPub.

I am tickled to see this bit of web trivia listed in @TheSeattleTimes “Today in History”. I represented Boeing to the #WorldWideWebConsortium (#W3C) for years. That international Web standards org was made possible because @timbl and @CERN generously gave the initial web code to the world for free — apparently on April 30, 1993. Many of my friends here are from that connection. I am deeply grateful for that experience. And of course that we have the Web!

I’m happy to announce that something I and others have worked on very hard for the past few years has been published by the W3C Advisory Board (AB) and sent to the W3C Advisory Committee (AC) for a vote to make it official:

Vision for W3C: https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/NOTE-w3c-vision-20250402/

Official announcement: https://www.w3.org/news/2025/proposal-to-endorse-vision-for-w3c-as-a-w3c-statement/

If your company is a W3C Member¹, please ask your Advisory Committee Representative² to vote to support publication of the Vision for W3C as an official W3C Statement:

Since 2009, I've been contributing to open web tools & standards, with a focus on CSS and related platform features at the W3C. But that work takes resources, making it hard for independent contributors like us @OddBird to stay involved.

We need support. If you appreciate what we're doing, you (or your company) can sponsor our work directly:

Let's keep building an open web for everyone.

Hat jemand eine Empfehlung für ein Browserplugin (Chrome oder Firefox Extension), das *lokal* prüft, ob eine Webseite #Barrierefreiheit in Sinne des #w3c berücksichtigt?
Sowas wie Alttexte, Kontrastverhältnisse und Überschrift-Tags; und daraus idealerweise einen Gesamtscore berechnet?

Kann leider nichts mit Serverdienst nutzen, da die Inhalte hinter Logins stecken.

It does not matter so much if it is #SOLID or #ActivityPub or both or any.

But the Vision matters most in these dark times

„The Vision of a new World“ by @timbl

„That said, there is clearly a massive revolution taking place, and a huge amount of value being created. That value is primarily for individuals who are have obstacles of today;s world they may have taken for granted being removed, and new power to granted. But then immediately individuals use that power to make and work in communities oof all scales, from pairs through groups to nation-sized movements.“

Of the select highlights from @w3c in 2024 that our CEO included in his blog post, the one that I like the best is …

… 70% of the new #W3C Team members hired in 2024 are women!

!! <3 This makes me happy and proud and hopeful.

Look at it! 3 men hired in February and May. Then 7 women hired between July and December!

Also, our global and cultural presence increased! the 53 people in the team work from 11 countries and span 12 time zones!

I haven't figured out what to do with my #neocities page yet (if anything), so I added a reference to the awesome #w3c Statement on Ethical Web Principles for now.
