Building a community is about more than just tech. It takes effort. So, how do we build meaningful community? Our friends at CSID Network published a brilliant piece on their approach that we think everyone should be learning from. [csidnet.org/how-to-build...](

We're building social media for digital communities 🔥 For too long, communities have been controlled by the platforms they're on. Finally, there are meaningful solutions. One of these is the ability to build your own. Your platform. Your server. Your stack. Your solution. #DigitalCommunity https://boletus.us-west.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vnycpb2e4lh4tc7oyr3n2jvh&cid=bafkreigrsvbkmeaz24ctxw677yudizazquqahmf6dvubr7z47tdw4ppmae
Towards the end of 2025, we saw realisation across Europe and beyond of the danger of reliance on US technologies. In 2026, we'll keep the pressure on, highlighting and building true, non-American, alternatives to community technology. #SocialMedia #EUTech #DigitalSovereignty https://boletus.us-west.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vnycpb2e4lh4tc7oyr3n2jvh&cid=bafkreicgpszxzpqm2qqwxkltjxt442sksyeghxn65jb5zihwz6zyqha3zy

As we begin 2026, @Michael Foster looks back on 2025 and the sprouts of hope that took root in the cracks. Armed with compost and a watering can, he's ready to start growing the future. [www.blog-pat.ch/futility-or-...](

As Freddie, @npub1mpmh...estz, comes to the end of his time with the Newsmast Foundation team, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate all he's achieved. Freddie has been with us since the start, from the original idea and through the many evolutions that have grown Newsmast. https://boletus.us-west.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:vnycpb2e4lh4tc7oyr3n2jvh&cid=bafkreibctejnemmsu3ksbu4uoy5wtuwjcci4obhodxb64jicaalvpyjrdm
