Social media should be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges, not walls. That's why we're building Bridgy Fed and Bounce.

Our first official Bounce from Mastodon to Bluesky! If you want to help us test like @teon.bsky.social did, give us a shout 🙂
Just Bounced! and that was awesome! 🤯🤩

Just joined, my 2nd Patreon membership! Congratulations on building @anew.social and ensuring we’re all connected as people, on any platform.
We're ramping up our funding efforts at @anew.social to ensure we can run Bridgy Fed and Bounce for the long run.
As a non-profit, we want to be as community-funded as possible, so we're focusing on ways to make that easier.
A quick thread about where we're at in terms of funds: (1/3)🧵

With Bounce, you'll no longer be tied to AP or AT protocol. In human terms, that means you can move your Bluesky account, and all your followers, to a different platform - like Mastodon! Helping keep the Open Social Web open.
