Newsmast Foundation

We're building community spaces far away from the divisive algorithms of Big Tech. We want to help bring people together. People who believe in the same causes, live in the same area, or support the same movements. Our work has already begun and we can't wait to show you how we're helping to Social Web host these spaces. #SocialWeb #SocialMedia #Fediverse #Mastodon #App #Tech #Newsmast #Community

It's that time again 🕔 We're logging off now for the weekend. It's been a really really busy week for us here but we can't wait to get back into it next week.

Yesterday, we attended The Bristol Cable’s AGM to announce our exciting new partnership and demo our Cable news app 👀 We’re helping the Cable understand the importance of digital community by building them a social app 📲 The Bristol Cable is a co-op, 100% owned by its members, and a world-leading independent publisher. We’re looking forward to helping the Cable develop how they interact with their community and become pioneers (again) in news media! #SocialWeb #LocalNews #Journalism

FediForum begins later today! We're so excited to see all the cool things happening in the Fediverse and the wider Social Web. If you're going to be showing off what you're working on, we wish you the best of luck. If not, we hope you have fun 🕺 #FediForum #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon

It's the first Friday of spooky season 🧙‍♀️ We'll be back on Monday after we've dusted off our spell books.

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. You can use it to signal far and wide, across multiple platforms and protocols. That's why we recommend filling out your profile here carefully, with this in mind. #SocialWeb #Fediverse #SocialMedia #OSW #Mastodon #Profile #MastoTips
