Set up account on Blue Sky yesterday - it’s great. Looks and feels like pre-Musk Twitter, far more people than I expected already there, functional algorithm, way easier than Mastodon, plus strong Wednesday night at Glasto vibes as people arrive.

Really important story here - and relates to lots of the points that @Imi_Ahmed from @CCDHate made in our conversation about social media and the UK far right riots on the @LargerUsNetwork podcast .

So fascinating (and hopeful!) to sit down with @Imi_Ahmed from @CCDHate to talk about social media's role in the far right riots and what we need to do about it, as the first edition in a new series of the @LargerUsNetwork Podcast .

So enjoyed this conversation!.
What roles does religion have individually and collectively, and what do we do about the space it leaves behind when it's gone? This was the subject of lovely, wide ranging, and fascinating conversation with @alexevansuk from @LargerUsNetwork

What do you say when someone makes it clear they think the violence, racism and Islamaphobia we’re seeing on our streets might be justified?. Such a great piece by my colleague Claire on why and how we need to have that courageous conversation .
