"Society is going backwards, but the OSW can catapult us forward with diverse pioneers leading the charge."

My messy thoughts on the state of the world atm and how I think we can use the open social web to help.

After attending the International Journalism Festival for the first time this year, I hope next year can focus more on the solutions to the problems journalists identified.

Check out my thoughts on my blog: https://forbetter.ghost.io/anti-big-tech-journalism/

I feel like I'm going crazy listening to panel after panel at #IJF25 talk about needing an EU alternative to Big Tech.

There is one! Yet, they don't want to be on it or fund it 😤

Not to be that guy, I get this is a meme, but there's a whole host of great speakers at the Fediverse House and only one woman is featured here?

It'd be great for those attending to talk about what we can do to highlight women and their contributions to the open social web more.

#FOSDEM was amazing - admittedly better than I expected... 👀

Finally on the last train home now.

Thanks to everyone who helped put it on and hopefully our #SocialWeb crowd gets even bigger 🤞

Off topic but your photos are insanely good

"...'Do I really need to support another new platform?' Consider this: If a Facebook or WhatsApp group had tens of millions of active users skewed progressive, welcomed organic outreach, and offered full access with zero cost to join, your team would jump at the chance. It would be a no-brainer."

Really enjoyed this piece by @tchambers & @heidilifeldman on @hello

The Fediverse is definitely a no-brainer for any morally sound organisation!

The latest on Twitter / X

It appears that many people outside of the UK have little idea what has been taking place over the past week here and Elon Musk's role in it.

Here's a thread explaining a bit more and why so many people in the UK are leaving X 🧵 👇
