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. We should behave in a way which allows this community to be #accessible for all.

Today is the first ever WebSocialBR, a Social Web focused event online and in-person in Brazil 🇧🇷

We really hope all attending have a great time and that their hard work to grow the Social Web in Brazil culminates in wider adoption.

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 🧡

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. Our hope is to provide the very first stepping stones to that, diverse, Social Web we dream of.

We wanted to take time today to say thank you to some of the people who have helped us over the years.

You know who you are, thank you 🧡

We're helping organisations understand that the future of engagement isn't by feeding the hungry algorithms of Big Tech, but it's in smaller, more meaningful communities.

Today, we take time to remember those who have sacrificed to give us the freedom and rights we must continue to protect.

In an era where history is being rewritten by those in power, we hope you take time to remember and share history today.

We're heading to #SFSCon

We're really excited to meet a community of people passionate about free software and, specifically, those who are making the trip to Bolzano for the Fediverse track, sponsored by #FediForum 🎉

Our talk is in the Fediverse track on Friday. We hope we'll see you there!

Three years ago today, the idea of the Newsmast Foundation was born 🎂

Born from the pieces of what Twitter was, our founders knew that they needed to take action to help online communities come together to inform one another once again.

We don't believe any local community should have to survive without reliable local news. That's why we're hoping to work with more local news groups and help them set up their own online space, including an app.

We're asking organisations and individuals if they would trust the owners of Big Tech platforms with community building in any other context.

Unsurprisingly, many wouldn't. So, why do they online?

We're showing them the alternatives.

Happy Bandi Chhor Divas to all celebrating today!

The Sikh holiday is a celebration of the day the Sixth Guru was released from prison, carrying with him 52 Hindu kings. It's a time to celebrate freedom and reflect on the importance of human rights.

We don't claim to be perfect, but we're very serious about safety on the Social Web.

Community shouldn't be far away.

That's why we're helping organisations, activists, and local organisers build their community away from the divisive algorithms of Big Tech.

Yesterday, we visited @thebristolcable.bsky.social for their AGM to announce our exciting partnership.

The Bristol Cable is a co-op, 100% locally-owned publication and we're very proud to be developing new ways to help them connect with their community away from Big Tech.

Your profile on the Open Social Web looks the same as your profile on Big Tech social platforms, but there's a big difference.

Your profile is no longer a profile on a platform, but an address across a web. That's why we recommend filling out your profile here carefully.

What are you a fan of? 🎸 🏀

Whether it's sports, music, TV, or something else. It's human nature to be a fan.

But here on the Social Web, it can sometimes be hard to find fan content, leading to many hanging around platforms like X for their fan content.

Let's change that!

🍅 🍋 🥦

From a young age we're taught to eat healthy. But when it comes to social media, most adults aren't eating their greens.

We're addicted to the fast food algorithms of platforms like X, Facebook, and TikTok. But what if we tried social media that's meant to be social, not sell?
