It is Time to Leave Twitter for Societal


Societal.co is a Twitter like social network that champions free
speech, individual liberty and the free flow of information online

Bedford, Bedfordshire ,UK., April 5, 2020 - A lot of people have been


rattled into searching for alternative social media platforms as they
become ever more uncomfortable with the way capitalist entities leverage
control over the largest social networks in human history. Most do not like
the way these companies buy and sell personal data, identities, and even
behaviour!
They employ the smartest people on the planet to influence user decisions
every day. But really, there’s no great excuse for using these platforms
except for the fact that everyone else is using them.
Non-Profit Alternatives.
Enter Societal.co a community network where users can post public or
private 500-character messages similar to Twitter.
The site was set up by Dean Jones former Central St Martins College of Art
& Design postgraduate who said, “societal is part of a federated network.
That means there is no one single entity that is in complete control. The
basic idea is you join one instance and you can subscribe to people on
your instance and to people in other instances. This develops into a large
network of different communities all linked together into a huge
distributed network of social connections which gives you a lot of freedom
over your data.”

Jones hopes his digital platform will help create connections, not conflict.
Jones further said, “I stated societal with the simple hope of connecting
people from around the world and allowing people to share their thoughts
with a big audience and societal.store to create wearable art that tells a
story, inspires us, and reminds us that we are all connected.”
The Core Principles of the Societal movement are:
Respect.
Justice/Fairness.
Honesty.
Service/Giving Back/Contribution.
Responsibility.
Family.
Community.
Jones is trying to shift the paradigm. In a web full of pseudo thought-
leaders, Societal promises to be place that people from all walks of life can
rely on and cater to those looking for fresh, new, authentic voices and
believe wholeheartedly in community.
