Re: Congratulations!

This list is for the W3C community group developing the standards for an 
open social web. We follow the Positive Work Environment rules of the W3C.

This remark is not acceptable. You're insulting our member from Meta; 
you're also insulting the integrity of everyone else working on the 
ActivityPub standards, here and elsewhere.

In standards development, we collaborate on the specifications and 
compete on implementation. Rivalries stop at the door.
