I’ll be at the Trust & Safety Summit in London this week. Looking forward to hearing from some of the digital platforms that many of the world's 120m refugees rely on to access safe + trusted information.
Let me know if you’ll be there and would like to meet. #TSSummit

Great to have Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, on Bluesky.

It’s a vibrant community, and a promising model for decentralized social media policies that transparently address toxicity and strengthen information integrity.

Bluesky Is Turning Into a Strong X Alternative (Gift Article) Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

I joined Bluesky back in 2023 but didn’t find much to keep me here, so it’s cool to see it finally taking off. Expectations are sky high, but this platform has a vitality that makes me remember what I loved about text-based social media in the first place. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/t...

If users vote with their feet, might Bluesky success even influence the policies and practice of other platforms? Time will tell.

How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth The fledgling social media site has been flooded with new users since the election. It hasn’t all been easy.

"Built by the people, for the people" - it's a lofty tagline, but I'm glad to see Bluesky appears to be prioritising trust, safety, and interoperability, towards enabling healthy public conversations in the digital space.

Graphic war videos go viral, testing social media’s rules As some major platforms ban Hamas, others take a laissez-faire approach.

Content moderation policies vary widely from one social network to the next, and they all have significant influence on perceptions and narratives around the conflict.
