But they have to be willing to try." @Saskia reflects on her time at #IJF25 in her latest edition of FORbetter.

It's been amazing to attend [@journalismfestival.com]( ) 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
