Remember when Microsoft tried to take over the web standards? Remember how that turned out for them?

IIRC they had to be sued by the US federal government and Sun (over IE and Java, respectively) to back off. Which is not going to happen for the Fediverse. And it’s not going to happen again in today’s day and age period.

To wit, remember when Google took over the web and now defines the browser standard on both mobile and PC and nobody can do anything about it?
