The #Fediverse brings me so much joy! I'm grateful this network exists, otherwise I'd be stuck battling with #Twitter, #Facebook, etc. No more algorithm drama, just genuine connections.

Hey #Bristol & #SouthWest UK folk who work in any form of #BehaviourChange and #SocialMarketing #communications....

Would you be interested in an informal monthly meetup in a cafe/pub/other space to chat, swap ideas, stories and "network"?

I'm pondering on starting something up in the city and trying to gauge interest...

If you're wondering, this isn't an idea solely for academics or those 100% engaged in #SocialGood agency work.

There are loads of folk who work to change behaviours - #NHS communicators, #LocalGovernment folk, #charity folk etc - who might not class themselves as 'behaviour change' types, but who nevertheless are working to create change.

Social Marketing practice has, at an academic level, often missed these practitioners out - so I want to change that!

Let me know what you think and maybe we can gather!

I'll do a (re) #introduction as I've moved instance.

I work for a #NonProfit #SocEnt in #Wales that supports young people and communities through using #Digital #ServiceDesign

As well the above, I'm interested in #Writing #Creativity #SolarPunk

Recently started my own website/newsletter nathwilliams.org discussing providing #Value for #SocialGood

Also #Dogs children #Walking and #Climbing

Should not-for-profits use Facebook, Google, etc. Or are there better alternatives for social good organisations?

I spoke with @nonprofits recently about this, the fediverse, small web, and more.
