The Gander Passport: Why a Sovereign Node Beats a Digital Bunker - Jason Butterfield Why is Gander connected to Bluesky, and why should you care? Explore the architectural shift of the AT Protocol and how Wingspan is building a "Third Way" for Canadian data residency. This is an early...

"Why do I see Bluesky posts on Gander?" 🐦🍁 It’s the difference between a digital prison and a sovereign passport. I’m diving into atproto, Wingspan, and why OCAP-aligned infra is Canada’s "Third Way." Stop renting your soul from billionaires. Own the land. #GanderSocial #JustGiver

Oh, we did some STUFF in this release of Gander. It’s a doozie. Not because of any one feature, but because a lot of the core experience has been implemented as we originally intended. Feeds, discovery, structure, control, and conversation: the thin...

@fivetimessix.bsky.social Excuse moi are you referring to what #GanderSocial is?

Up here in Canada we got a brand new app in beta test called Gander - and it's fantastic. Only 5,000 of us in this phase, and all Canucks! #GanderSocial @gandersocial.bsky.social

Anyone on @gandersocial.bsky.social lose everything? And I mean EVERYTHING!

Screenshot of a post draft on Gander.

Bluesky and Gander, both ATproto, same content copy/pasted. Bluesky has 83 characters left while Gander is over by 4. Both platforms give room for 300 characters per post.

Guessing Gander counts the link space in a different way?

Is this balance? Pre-dawn, Olympic gold and (only) two platforms. I can nap later

I've been doing same. "Finally" yesterday created my #Substack profile. Which I recommend! Stoked about #Canada s very 1st Social Media platform for #Canadians only
#CanadaSky It's called GANDER Social #GanderSocial I've been in their beta testing phase @gandersocial.bsky.social ~ gandersocial.ca

Joined the #GanderSocial expanded Beta, and while it's neat to have a Canadian Social Media platform, I'm a little disappointed that it so far just seems like another X/Bluesky/Threads. I was hoping for more of a Facebook style replacement, if I'm being honest.

So I have been hanging out over on @gandersocial.bsky.social today after receiving an invite for beta testing.

Early thoughts: Love the “bias-checker” - note the labels on the attached image. Love larger photo format. Love more room for text. Love Canadian content. #gandersocial #cdnpoli

Gander social has actually been pretty fun to be one.

Early stages but a good experiment to see how appviews work.

Gander Social Raises $1.5M on FrontFundr as Canadians Rally Behind Values-Driven Social Media – The Canadian Business Journal

#Canada’s alternative to US led #socialmedia is #GanderSocial. It is crowd sourced funded, met its goals quickly with a Canadian’s investing.

Arlene Dickson and Amber Mac Have withdrawn affiliation with Gander Social.

Inside to open early 2026‼️❤️🇨🇦

Regardless of what the loss of Arlene and Amber means for Gander (and it is speculation at this point) the important thing is that Gander will hopefully break our dependence on Facebook, X, perhaps even Blue Sky. It is important not to read too much into this development.
