Bluesky for Charities

With many charities moving away from X (formerly Twitter) in search of better control over their online presence, Bluesky offers an exciting alternative. Charities are looking for an open and community-driven platform that better aligns with their values, and as a decentralised platform, Bluesky lets communities set their own content moderation rules. This helps your charity create a safe space for supporters to engage without harmful content.

In this free one-hour taster session, you’ll learn how to harness Bluesky’s unique features to engage new supporters, build stronger communities, and advance your mission in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
