[A New Social]

I'm psyched about this announcement:

"We're A New Social, a new non-profit organization focused on building cross-protocol tools and services for the open social web.

[...] The first project we'll take on to accomplish this mission is Bridgy Fed, a service that enables users of ActivityPub-based platforms like Mastodon, ATProto-based platforms like Bluesky, and websites to interact and engage across ecosystems."

In other words, A New Social is a non-profit that is kicking off with supporting the long-standing Bridgy project but isn't stopping there. The idea is that we'll all be sharing and communicating on one social web, even if there are a variety of underlying protocols powering it all. Bridgy, of course, helps bridge between social networks. But there's a lot more to do, which is why the non-profit is talking about collaborating with orgs like The Social Web Foundation and IFTAS.

The CEO is Anuj Ahooja, who has been doing wonderful work across decentralized social; he joins Ryan Barrett, who has been developing Bridgy for years and years. I can't wait to see what they do together.

Like I said, I'm psyched.
