 ) this week! We've spoken to people from all corners of the information industry interested in turning away from Big Tech social platforms. We may be a small nonprofit, but we've always had big ambitions. Events like #IJF25 help us realise them.
Social media has changed. That's why we've posted 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities. Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we're excited to help them turn to better social alternatives. #SocialMedia https://boletus.us-west.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vnycpb2e4lh4tc7oyr3n2jvh&cid=bafkreibo5jzu2jupwxxojetknawqtl7vbrkpqs3jcp7dnqp22yc7ekpjfi

Decentralised social media can empower you, the smart people at the Oxford Martin School have confirmed it. Decentralised, open, and democratic platforms are the future of social media and we will continue to support them. [www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/news/decentr...](

We're so glad to see so many new people joining this platform & exploring open social technology. If you're one of our new followers - Hi 👋 We're a UK charity dedicated to improving knowledge-sharing on microblogging platforms. We believe in democratic social media - not dictatorships! 👀
15 Million Users. When Bluesky launched, we had cautious optimism of what it could mean. It was good to see a female led team building an open social platform, on their own open protocol. Now Bluesky is a home for so many online communities as they leave X. Our mission is coming to life 🧡
The Newsmast Foundation was created in response to the oppression of marginalised communities on social media. In light of the U.S. election results, those communities are more at risk than ever. This is our statement 👇 [www.newsmastfoundation.org/our-blog/tru...](

Like many, we are devastated after the result of the US election. We will be taking some time as a team to regroup, process, and understand how we can better support diverse and marginalised communities as we head into a new period. Our mission is more urgent than ever. Onwards, always. #USPol
