1/2 Hey #SocialBC users and all!! There is an announcement on the frontpage of socialbc.ca and in user's email inboxes.
@jrenken has been working hard the past few months getting everything ready for us to move from @mastohost to our very own made-in-BC space!
The full announcement and a FAQ is at:
https://socialbc.org/socialbc/migration.html
That page will stay up throughout the migration.

Hey @vsb_copilot and @EvanY! I/We would love to know more about your efforts to stop the use of MS Co-Pilot in the Vancouver School Board!
Maybe us on #SocialBC and the #Fediverse can help spread the word and we’re honoured that you've chosen us to help be your big-social-free alternative!

1/n Yesterday on @chris I commented (https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/115612771113881465) about the #PostSecondary review announced by the #BCNDP.
Today, on #socialBC I want to do a summary thread on this 145 page “State of Post Secondary in Canada 2025”.

I am grossed out by its AI fanboying -- a statement on the "state" of education in itself -- but the data is good... so... onward.

Kudos to the Mastodon devs who implemented the email-users notification in the announcements. It's really well done. I especially like that you can send a preview/test message before sending them announcement to everyone's email!
An improvement would be for the logo to be automatically attached to the banner at the top of the email, as is done in the announcement window on the web side.
(Stay tuned social BC folks, announcement is coming shortly)

If you are interested in how the Fediverse really works and some of the key people making it happen, sit down with a coffee and check out one (or all!) of the presentations from #fedicon.
Mine was about my journey finding the Fediverse and eventually teaming up with folks to create socialbc.ca and what I learned along the way.
And yes, I am pretty sure we are in a Stanley Kubrick movie.
