A non-profit organization called A New Social is being formed to promote the open social web. Founded by Ryan Barrett, creator of Bridgy Fed, and Anuj Ahooja, an engineering leader and writer, the organization aims to foster competition and user-centricity in the social media landscape. A New Social believes that a healthy ecosystem thrives on innovation rather than platform dominance.
They advocate for open protocols like ActivityPub and ATProto, working directly with developers to ensure a competitive open social web. The organization's initial project involves Bridgy Fed, which allows users to share content between Bluesky and ActivityPub-based platforms like Mastodon. A New Social is collaborating with major players in the open social web, including Bluesky, Flipboard, Mastodon, and Meta, to ensure they fulfill their promises to users regarding decentralization and federation
