Knowledge for all for good

Knowledge for all for good

Building communities, connections and conversations in the Fediverse and beyond.

We’re diverse, democratic and dedicated to building safe, committed communities that change the world. Boosting knowledge sharing by building communities led by people who know their stuff. Helping you learn the news that matters to you directly from those who discovered it. 

Newsmast is our answer to profit-controlled media and our celebration of connections. It’s part of the decentralised social media network powered by Mastodon and, like everything we do, it’s backed by a UK registered charity: the Newsmast Foundation.

You can meet the team behind Newsmast here.

Our mission is to change social media for good.

Newsmast is driven by communities.

If it matters to you, it matters to us. That’s where Newsmast starts. Our team hand-build each community, choosing the experts who lead the conversation and the filters that shape the space and keep it safe. It’s collaborative, creative, and constantly evolving.
