Three weeks ago we were getting ready to go to #FOSDEM. We didn’t realise just how good the experience would be. Now we’re energised, excited, and getting started on a whole range of ideas that came out of the event. More on that soon 👀 Huge thanks to @elenarossini.com for the photo! #SocialMedia

We believe in community. The 'town square' done right - where we don't shout at each other from across the cobblestones but we coexist and find our people in the cafes and social spaces around the square 🏙️ It's nearly here. #SocialMedia

This time last year, New Social looked very different to what it does now. It's amazing to think about what a small group of hard-working people can do, stretching the limits of what social media is and was. Now, let's push a few more boundaries. What do you say? 😈 #SocialMedia

Changing the social media landscape can be HARD But, we're so proud to work amongst great and talented people who give up their own time (and often their own money) to build social alternatives free from Big Tech control. Thanks for all you do 🧡 #SocialMedia

We talk a lot about decentralised social media, but not everyone knows what that means. It's an online space which is not controlled by one company or person. Platforms which are open and, because the technology isn't controlled by a company, anyone can build on top! 🏰 #Decentralized

ICYMI: Last night Bluesky hit 30m users 🙌 That's an incredible achievement and a huge testament to the work @jay.bsky.team and the @bsky.app team have done to protect social media by standing up to the tech giants. We're looking forward to seeing the number grow even more 👀

We're serious about raising awareness for New Social platforms. This week we sent 250 hand-built 'X-scape Kits' to journalists, academics, and charity leaders in the UK - full of information on New Social. The timing wasn't a coincidence. #SocialMedia #Charity #Journalism #Academia

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

Social media, like society, should be diverse. It should be full of equal opportunity, pride, and cultural learning. As a UK charity, we will never compromise on our support for marginalised communities or our belief in strength in diversity. #Diversity #Community #Marginalised

With Trump's return to the White House next week, the social media landscape has already seen some big changes. We believe social media should be about being social and learning from one another - that's our vision of New Social. We will do our best to protect it. #SocialMedia #USPolitics #Trump

Verifying on Bluesky isn't the same as platforms of the past, instead it uses something many influential people and organisations already have - a domain. The process is surprisingly smooth (even for non-techies), here's how: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
