We're the UK’s top New Social focused charity. We’re a group of former media people, scientists and technologists trying to take back control of the social web.

We have a small but passionate team.

Protecting the environment is key to the survival of life on Earth.

At Newsmast, we don’t want to stray away from important topics.

So, we’re providing a space for environment experts, activists, and those looking to learn in our Communities: Environment, Biodiversity & Rewilding, Climate Change, and Energy & Pollution.

In each Community or Feed you can find out about how we can do more.

We need to reach #NetZero

The energy transition is at the heart of environmental discourse, but the sector is one of the biggest pollutants. It's going to take a team effort to work this one out.

In our Energy & Pollution community dig into collective knowledge, ask questions, and fight for a cleaner future here: https://newsmast.org/communities/status/energy_pollution or follow @energy in a list from your Mastodon account.

We're still testing the curation features but hopefully they're all working as intended 🤞

Good morning 👋

Just a quick announcement.

We’ve noticed a few issues with curation on Community Feeds and have now discovered that, over the weekend, Community Feeds have gone offline. We’re looking into both of these issues and will keep you updated!

Community Feeds offer curated knowledge to the Fediverse so we want to make sure that everything works as it should for you.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

A lot of questions have been raised by the fragmentation of the social internet, especially since the Twitter (X) alternative, Bluesky, opened up to the public last week. Bluesky, as well as Threads, have announced they want some level of interaction between themselves and the Fediverse.

One view gathering momentum looks to the future and sees a radically different web.

Here are our thoughts 👇

Being human is something which can’t be described in a singular sentence. Instead, it is a collective of generational knowledge, our past, present and future.

The Humanities & Social Science communities at Newsmast explores this, with insight from social scientists, philosophers, and historians. Each community teaches us about what being human means.
