\[[A New Social](https://www.anew.social/hello-social-web/)\]

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](https://fed.brid.gy/), 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](https://www.anew.social/)* is a non-profit that is kicking off with supporting the long-standing [Bridgy](https://brid.gy) 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](https://socialwebfoundation.org/) and [IFTAS](https://about.iftas.org/).

The CEO is [Anuj Ahooja](https://anujahooja.com/), who has been doing wonderful work across decentralized social; he joins [Ryan Barrett](https://snarfed.org/about), 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.
