It's time for charities and for-good organisations to ditch X - a platform which helped grow and fund the Trump campaign - and move to alternatives where they aren't at the mercy of a single persons politics.

As a start, we're excited to be featured as an organisation which can help in this @BylineTimes article

There's a lot of hard work to be done, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work.

"There's a lot to be excited about, but we can't rush it. We have to show it. We have to show them how the Fediverse works and why the Fediverse works."

The ethics on the Fediverse are - on paper - better than alternatives.

So, why don't more for-good missions use it?

The social internet is fractured. Fake news grows alongside mistrust and hate speech.

The Newsmast Foundation is dedicated to helping slow the spread by committing resources to building a better social web. A democratic online social space, where we can learn from one another and create a social network that puts people not profit first.
