Uh, it's nearly September π
Where has the time gone?
In an effort to cling onto the summer, we're logging off for the weekend. We'll be back on Monday when Freddie will be taking over the socials whilst Saskia is on holiday. Be nice!
A new report by Amnesty International calls for the dismantling of concentrations of power to make way for rights-respecting digital ecosystems.
You can read the full report here:
"The easy waves of migration from old social media are done. The pioneers who were happy to make the break have moved."
@Michael Foster looks at how we build home on the Open Social Web
We might be a small team but we're the right team.
Using our past experiences, we're propelling the Newsmast Foundation forward, helping social media pioneers make the move away from Big Tech towards owning their community.

Keeping the Open Social Web running wouldnβt be possible without the server admins who sacrifice their time, money, and self to this online community.
Coming from Big Tech, it's easy to take these things for granted; we're used to social media being for-profit.
Instead, here on the Fediverse, it's our job to say thank you. We're sure your admin would appreciate a coffee sized donation or a meaningful message of thanks.

Channel.org offers organisations an opportunity to stop renting from billionaires and start hosting their online community.
We believe that, because of our charity status, we can help organisations escape the traps of for-profit social media and understand the benefits of the Open Social Web. Joining in the way that works best for them, through our services or otherwise.

Have you changed your behaviour online since the UK's Online Safety Act began enforcing age restrictions on certain platforms and content?
We're curious to know how the Online Safety Act is affecting the day to day social media usage of people on the Fediverse - UK and beyond. Changes can be as simple as not using a feature anymore, to fully avoiding a platform.
Feel free to let us know why in the comments!
