Five reasons for charities to be cheerful when leaving #X (with thanks to Ian Dury and the Blockheads).
One. The obvious - Elon Musk, Trump and X
Two. The content steal
Three. Great alternatives - the #fediverse !
Four. Better engagement
Five. Defending our values
At @npub1w57…ent3 we’re helping communities and organisations join New Social. Building a better web. We’d love to hear from you.

It’s our birthday! |The best thing that’s happened over a year of @npub1w57…ent3 on the Fediverse is the network of friends and allies we've made. Thank you everyone!
We’re celebrating with a big upgrade to our Foundation website, highlighting what we're going to be working on in the coming year. We can’t wait to see what the next year brings.

Bluesky & the Fediverse: How 3 + 0 adds up to more than 1 + 2
Building a different web and bringing back its magic means choosing what matters. Making the most of the bridge with Bluesky. Turning people first, post once social media - Fediverse 3.0 - into a reality. And nurturing communities through small and medium sized servers, feeds, hashtags and Fediverse 0.0.

“Looking at nature without fungi is like trying to diagnose a disease without doing a blood test. Fungi are the firmament of life on Earth. They make systems ecosystems.” This is a big deal !

Two million Brazilians joined Bluesky over the weekend. Here’s why that’s good news for the #Fediverse.
By moving on from the clone wars, embracing multiple protocols and injecting a big dose of politics, we can expand Fediverse 2.0 and start to build Fediverse 3.0 and the open web: the “paradise to which we may all yet escape.”

Right now the #Fediverse is in Field of Dreams mode: "If we build it, they will come."
It’s a lovely sentiment, but we're up against the hard reality of network effects. How to onboard people, engage and keep them? One word: Storytelling.
That's the real secret of Field of Dreams. It's not about a baseball pitch. It's about a story.
To reach the full potential of the Fediverse we need storytelling to become as important as technology.

Introducing Patchwork. An innovative space between servers and apps: making space for making spaces. Our contribution to finishing building the #Fediverse.
Patches open the door to the space. Hubs populate it. Channels deliver content in refreshing ways. And Hooks give any app access to this space. Follow the blog to see how the #buildinpublic goes.

@ In addition to adding one or two big relays, for more focused content you could try using the admin account to follow some of the feeds at newsmast.community. We think they could be handy for small/medium instances - would be good to test!

A heartfelt, hard hitting #fediverse manifesto from @npub1vaz…x9wa. Headlines: “The chance is now - be a seismograph for debates and movements - participate instead of lead defensive fights - it won't work alone in the living room - courage instead of walls.”
And this: “The world is an exciting place full of crises and problems, but also full of beauty and hope. We should face that.”
