    You make a great point lol. Still, you have to put money in the W3C members first rather than just give it up to a company.

      Why would I put money in them? Those members already have it! That’s the problem.

      Instead, make the W3C a thing you can get money from. Maybe pay some universal basic income with that.

        I meant that those that want the W3C to follow their interest first have to use their money to influence the standards and protocols. When companies already own them, they just have to decide how they want the protocol to work, no need for discussion with other parties.

        The W3C is not the best thing, but it’s better than letting a protocol made by bluesky become dominant even if in the long run they might be similar things.
