Seeing a bunch of fresh faces. Pleasure to meet you👋 Technically, we "launch" tomorrow. But you're more than welcome to come on by a bit early and check things out ahead of time, sample the snacks, and find a good spot to chill. Find us on the App Store or Google Play.

A serious one... because it's Monday. Recent reporting has found foreign accounts pushing Alberta separatism in Canada. People pretending to be local, stealing content, scamming Canadians, and warping political dialogue. That should bother everyone. It for sure bothers us. 👇

Pride is about celebrating the freedom to be yourself. In Canada, our diversity makes us stronger, and everyone deserves to live authentically, safely, and with dignity. Let’s continue building communities where acceptance, respect, and inclusion are valued 🏳️‍🌈🍁 #PrideMonth #LoveIsLove

The community has spoken, so we're building. Here’s a peek at what's just been released, what we're working on, and what we're noodling on at Gander. A bit of healthier social, a bit of fun, some growth, and a dash of self-sufficiency. Anything here you’ve been hoping to see? Something else?

We believe it's possible for Canada to build an online safety framework that protects people while protecting privacy, free expression, accessibility, and democratic participation. Do we need to choose one over the other? Our full submission: gandersocial.ca/blog... 10/10

The other day, someone commented on one of our Facebook posts: “What’s taking so long? We already have this technology. You’re not reinventing the wheel.” Granted, they weren't in our Early Access Program, so they hadn't seen the infrastructure, app, or moderation policies, and neither had they connected with the lovely community that's grown there

Canada’s Bill C-22 is a repackaged version of last year’s surveillance nightmare and @signal.org says it would rather leave Canada than comply. Good intentions don’t prevent abuse, capabilities do. The only guarantee is technical impossibility. This commitment to privacy is why I trust Signal.

Canada’s C-22 bill is a surveillance overreach that paves the way to backdoor encrypted communications of users around the world. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I am also surprised that there’s not more public backlash from Canadian organizations that are champions of online privacy and security. @cira.ca @gandersocial.ca @rparmarbc.bsky.social

@signal.org please speak out against the extremely problematic Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, that is being considered by the Canadian government. They are downplaying the risk under the guise of only requesting encrypted information for just reasons. 🙄 The only security guarantee is no door. 🔒

Spent the whole week figuring out how to do task management in Obsidian only to rediscover how similar my natural process is to @todoist.com. 😅 I really tried after Apple Reminders fell short, but sometimes you just need to admit defeat and move on. Still love Markdown for everything else though!

Anyone else spent the time refreshing their inbox waiting for a code via email considering whether they could replace the service with something else? 😒 Something that avoids the horrible user experience of SMS or email based sign in codes. Honestly. Do better by your users.

In Vancouver? Catch us at #ATmosphereConf for the next few days. We’ll have invites to Gander, stickers (important), and time to chat with fellow decentralized social aficionados. Will we come back with crazy ideas inspired by some very smart people? Probably.
