   You don't have to use W3C's recommendations if you feel the organisation is compromised?

     That's true, but they more or less maintain the HTML standard. You would have to have a lot of skill and dedication to come up with a different standard and implement it. Also, if the big browsers (or, for the fediverse, the big apps) don't support your competing standard, you're just running your service for yourself.

     I'm not saying it can't be done, but right now we absolutely rely on the common goodwill of all fediverse developers. Bad apples can spoil the bunch.

     Let's say, Eugen at one point says: "You know what? I'll take 450 million and sell the project and website to Meta." That money can shield you quite well from the public outrage it would create and the more of a threat the fediverse poses, the more money our enemies are likely to spend on silencing it.

     Everyone has a price.
