It's the first Friday of December. Unfortunately, as much as we'd love to, that doesn't mean we're hosting a Christmas pub quiz. But, maybe next year? We'll be back at 9am GMT in our tacky Christmas jumpers ☃️

Want to support a brilliant Social Web project before the end of the year? 🔥 @npub1lzdq...urpr are so close to achieving their funding goal as they look to crowdfund the next phase of development in their democratic, thoughtful, and open web of interoperable web of services. If you're able, we're certain they would love your support. https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community #Bonfire #Fundraising #SocialWeb #Mastodon #ActivityPub #SocialMedia #Tech #Suppport

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities ♿ On social media, it's important that we consider how disabled people interact with their digital community and make their voices heard. Something as simple as adding ALT text to your images, or being mindful of ableist language, can help disabled people feel more welcome in this space. We know it's a long way from perfect, but we want to help the Social Web feel welcoming to all. #PersonsWithDisabilities #Disabled #Awareness

Today is the first ever WebSocialBR 🇧🇷 Online and on the ground in Brasília, the event has been put together by @npub1x6uj...5f7h We've recently been working with the Brazilian Institute of Museums who will be in attendance and talking about our work together. Then, at 7pm GMT @Evan Prodromou & @npub1dvxe...gems will be hosting a panel! We hope that their hard work to grow the Social Web in Brazil culminates in wider adoption. #SocialWeb #WebSocialBR #SocialMedia #Brazil #Fediverse #Mastodon

It is the LAST Friday of November. How does that make you feel? We can't believe that it's time to find an advent calendar and get into the festive mood already 🎁 We will be back, chocolate in hand, on Monday at 9am GMT.

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! 🦃 We may not be celebrating here in the UK, but we'd still like to extend our thanks to the community we've built across the Open Social Web and all of the people who have guided, advised, and supported us. Thank you 🧡 #Thanksgiving #SocialWeb #Mastodon #Fediverse #Thankful

Recently, we were asked why we, a knowledge & community focused charity, were posting to celebrate cultural and religious holidays. We believe that the Social Web has the potential to be the most diverse space on the entire web. But to get there, we have to start simple. We aren't experts. We're learning each time we post (and we hope you are too). Our goal is to provide the very first stepping stones to that, diverse, Social Web we dream of. #Diversity #SocialWeb #Fediverse #Mastodon
