In case you missed it, @npub14rpe...za3l and the Newsmast Foundation are working together!
You can see the announcement and what we're working on in this wonderful talk by the Bonfire team at @npub1yauc...atjv last week.
LGBTQ+ people have contributed more than we'll ever be able to discover to our history.
In February, here in the UK, we celebrate LGBTQ+ history month. It's a chance to learn more about the LGBTQ+ people who have shaped our society up until this point.
As the political climate grows less accepting of diversity, it's more important than ever that we share these stories. If you have a story of LGBTQ+ history to share, please do so in the comments 👇 🧡

It's FOSDEM this weekend!
The Social Web track, and many of the others, are a great opportunity to learn more about projects on the Social Web.
As always, we're really excited to hear more about what our friends and supporters are up to.
If you're not there in Brussels, you can follow along online with us. Check out the schedule below 👇

You wouldn't host your community in a casino.
Addictive algorithms, amplified hateful content, doomscrolling. It's time to call social media what it is: dangerous.
As a society, we need to work harder to detangle ourselves from these places and the behaviour they encourage.
How are you creating distance between yourself and harmful social media?

We've put Channel.org Channels back behind an invite code 🧷
To prevent misuse of our Channel.org beta, we're going back to a controlled system which ensures we can help Channel builders get the most out of their custom feeds.
If you want to build your own Channel, please reach out to us at support@newsmast.org
