"Whatβs been hard for us to articulate, to ourselves and the outside world, is that we arenβt just building tech products, and we arenβt just curating content.
The tech products, curation, content, education and support are all part of a bigger process of community onboarding, building and growth."
Part III of @Michael Foster 's post-FediCon series is live now! This one takes a look at the Newsmast Foundation and our work π
We made Channels for you, the people on the Open Social Web.
We know how hard it can be to find posts that you care about on the Social Web. But, after curating our topical Channels, we knew we had the tech to help you Channels on the things YOU care about.
Whether that's cats or astrophysics, you can now make your Channel.

"The more the Fediverse can be baked into systems already in use, as with the Wordpress plugin and Ghost 6.0, the easier it will be to make connections without platform or protocol battles." - @Michael Foster
Part 2 of Michael's post-FediCon blog series, exploring growth with a grassroots vibe, is out now! Check it out below π
you can use the Channels app to curate, post to, and keep up with your Channel? π
It's a pretty cool way to get more involved in your curated community.

"At FediCon, as much happened in the cafes, bars and lobbies around the conference hall as during the talks. Lots of servers in the Fediverse are patches, or Third Spaces. Theyβre communities."
Energised by FediCon, @Michael Foster has put his pen to paper to explore how we can grow the Fediverse by thinking outside of the current space.

Earlier this week Ghost announced a major update. With it, every Ghost publication is now on the Open Social Web.
This is a huge step forward for the Open Social Web and a real testament to how work across the Social Web is benefitting creators and organisations away from Big Tech.

Today, Amnesty International have shared their report into X's part in the UK 'Race Riots' last year.
Unsurprisingly, their findings highlighted that the design choices within X contributed to spreading of false claims and ultimately the violence we saw across the UK last year against Muslims and migrants following the murder of two young girls.
Please, take a look at the report here and share it with your friends who still, solely, use X.
