It's an honour to announce that @jaz has joined the Newsmast Foundation as Commercial Advisor 👏
Jaz has supported the Newsmast Foundation since we first joined the Social Web. He's one of a small handful who realised the vision of our charity and believed in it from the start.
We can't wait to see how his experience helps us shape the future of Newsmast as we deliver our Apps for Change programme and help more communities join the Social Web.

3 Whole Years here on the Social Web!!!
To celebrate, a fun little blog looking at what's happened in that time 👀

A short reflection on what I've learnt about myself and about the Social Web. Three years. It really doesn't feel like that long until I start thinking about everything we've done in that time. Then three years doesn't feel long enough. A lot has happened... The highs: * Seeing Paramore, PVRIS
"Newsmast, a UK-based organization building ActivityPub infrastructure for publishers and communities, is pushing this further by creating branded apps on top of individual server communities that combine community feeds with a publisher’s content. The logical conclusion of their approach is one app per community, with federation as the connective tissue between them."

The toot.wales app Tŵt Cymru is a great example of this.
It's been a busy couple of weeks here at the Newsmast Foundation.
After visiting #FediMTL in Montréal last week, then going straight to Wales for the launch of the Tŵt app with @teamtoot , then to Copenhagen for Rebuild, whilst attending @fediforum online, you might think we're going to quiet down for the next couple of weeks 👀
Wrong!
We're still working hard to bring more people meaningful community on the Social Web ⚡️
Local community is essential.
At the Newsmast Foundation, we're working to support local communities by providing digital spaces for them to come together. Places they can organise, and inform as a collective.
The Community Power report by Local Trust amplifies our message, that by providing space to come together, communities can strengthen beyond their differences.

"#Mastodon’s current leadership is trying to move away from [#centralization at Mastodon.social].
In this newer model, the server boundary becomes a social boundary, and your experience of Mastodon is supposed to be shaped by the community you joined rather than just by who you follow across the wider network.
Instead of one network with distributed infrastructure, it is a network of networks where each node has meaningful social coherence. #Newsmast, a UK-based organization building ActivityPub infrastructure for publishers and communities, is pushing this further by creating branded apps on top of individual server #communities that combine #community feeds with a publisher’s content. The logical conclusion of their approach is one app per community, with federation as the connective tissue between them."
We've updated the indieweb.social Community Guidelines 🚨
Following consultation with the indieweb.social community we have updated the server Community Guidelines.
Thank you to everyone who offered feedback and helped us fine-tune, especially those who support the server Patreon.
Please become familiar with the new Community Guidelines and boost so your peers are aware of this change too.

"In Europe and worldwide, people are recognising that news publishers, progressive content creators, non-profits and civic society rely on platforms that don’t share our values. Platforms which optimise algorithms for surveillance, outrage and profit."
Wondering what we're up to at the Newsmast Foundation? 🤔
