Thanks @betakit.com for naming Gander a 2026 Most Ambitious honouree in the Sovereign Stack category. There is no sovereignty without technology. The spaces where we connect, organize (and the data we create doing it) need to be our own.

Black BetaKit Most Ambitious graphic naming Gander Social, based in Ottawa, Ontario, as a 2026 honouree. Presented by Uber, DMZ, and National Bank of Canada.

Jen discusses our decision to add verification to Gander for folks who want to post, comment or chat. Our approach keeps ID info out of our hands and adds a layer to reduce bots, bad actors, and harm to kids. Does everyone love it? Nope. But that's what friction is. gandersocial.ca/blog...

One of our most pre-eminent beta testers articulating "but why Gander?" better than we ever could!

Yes, we ditched the like count.

Take a deep breath. I know you may be losing it a little, but there’s some pro-social method to this madness.

To any of my fellow Canadians who are feeling jaded or discouraged, can I just say that spending a few min on Gander is like going back in time 20 years on social media. It is so wholesome and so random. Videos of birds in trees, pictures of ice fishing, and lots of Canuckle results. I love it. 🥰 🇨🇦

What would a 100% Canadian social media platform look like? The team at @gandersocial.bsky.social is about to find out. By giving Canadians control over their data, their feeds, and more, they’re hoping to offer a viable alternative for American social media.
