  What does this mean to someone unfamiliar with these acronyms?

    Atproto (protocol powering bluesky) will be further developed and standardized by the ieft (Internet engineering task Force), a group separate from the for-profit bluesky PBC

      Neat! So just more open development?

      Oh that’s so amazing! I’ve been smitten with AT Protocol since I learned about it from their paper. I have such high hopes it gets more widespread.

  Is this one of those groups that’s going to get stacked with large corporations who proceed to sabotage the protocol over time to make it less useful and competitive against their own products and services?

  What appreciable differences are there being in a working group under the IETF vs W3C vs WHATWG?

    Unsure about the IETF and WHATWG, but if at all, they’ll be better than the W3C. The W3C was, and still is, a group co-opted by GAFAM to essentially make the web as hard as possible to implement so that only big corpo can “do it correctly”, and they brought us wondrful features such as literally DRM in the HTML Standard.

    To this day the W3C is one of the big reason the internet doesn’t progress.

      ActivityPub, aka the Fediverse, aka the open social web, aka what powers Piefed, is created, built by and built into the web, run by the W3C.

      So while I agree that DRM sucks being built into the web, I disagree W3C is controlled by GAFAM. With DRM the W3C’s point was that everyone is doing it anyway at least we can have a standard way to doing it, making it easier for ends users to not have to jump through some new hoop and guaranteeing even that on alternative browsers, software or hardware aren’t excluded.

      Big Tech do plenty of awful things we can give them direct credit for. W3C isn’t really one of them.
