Founded on <a href="http://hamishcampbell.com/en/4opens">#4opens</a> and moderated by an ethical code of conduct. Its a safe space for Campaigning and NGO groups to access their members via #openweb projects. We abide by the <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/covenant">Mastodon server Covenant</a> — we commit to keeping the service backed up, and to notify you at least three months in advance if the service closes, so you can move your account without losing your network.

</p>

<p>
We are launching two new Mastodon instances for activists and campaigners to aid communication of grassroot groups; putting social media back in our hands by providing a free, unfettered home for campaigners, NGO’s and activists to communicate among their peers and beyond.
</p>

<p>
This project is a way out of the restricted, algorithmic, for-profit mediation and commercialisation of communication we increasingly experience. If you do not pay to "boost" each post, a Facebook page will only reach 3-6% of members. This soon becomes an expensive drain on limited NGO and activist budgets.
<br />
Activists and campaigners alike are ready to shift their outreach away from the corporate social networks paid-per-view “walled gardens”.
</p>

<p>
Mastodon is the worlds largest free open source decentralised microblogging network; it’s thousands of unique, interconnected communities, filled with different people, interests, languages, and needs.
<br />
You’re free to join any community you like, or better yet, host your own, on your own terms. It remains possible for members of each to instance to interact with others.
<br />
There is no monopoly by a single commercial company, no ads, and no tracking.
</p>

<p>
We aim to help activism/campaigning groups to make this step now.
