If your experience of the Fediverse is that it’s just like Twitter in how much antisemitism you experience, that’s why I founded Babka and Babka Social, because that was my experience too.

Just having federation doesn’t make it safe for Jews online.

Babka makes a deliberate and focused effort to address antisemitism. It takes continuous hard work and dedication by myself, my staff, and the incredible volunteers who make Babka operate.

Proud of my colleagues at Google and friends at Apple for collaborating on a technical standard for detecting unwanted trackers across Android and iOS. Working together protects all users, regardless of OS.

More to share at Google I/O!

Do share around! Feel free to DM me for details.
