At our heart, we’re a charity – not a tech start-up. The Newsmast Foundation is diverse, democratic and dedicated to building safe, committed knowledge-sharing networks that change social media for good. That’s why we stood up and took action by building Newsmast.

Newsmast is built on Mastodon’s open-source platform, bringing together key contributors, connections and conversations from around the Fediverse. That’s an audience of around 2 million from across the globe. There’s no algorithm, ads, or hidden agenda. Just good people trying to make a space where others can thrive.

Communities, connections and conversations

We champion the work of journalists, academics, charities and NGOs – together with diverse voices, marginalised communities and people on the ground. Pooling facts, knowledge and ideas to tackle the biggest challenges worldwide

We’re committed to a vision of social media that helps us all and you can find out what inspired it all by reading our story here. If you want to support our cause, we humbly accept donations here.
