<p>Man, yesterday was a doozy. We can’t agree with every platform’s decisions, but we can vote with our feet. </p><p>Surf wants to free our social connections from being locked up in separate self-serving networks. It’s a no-nonsense browser for the open social web that lets you easily create and surf custom feeds that organize people, videos, articles and podcasts around the things you care about.</p><p>Join the waitlist today: <a href="https://waitlist.surf.social/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>waitlist.surf.social/</a></p><p><a href="/tags/surf/" rel="tag">#surf</a> <a href="/tags/surfsocial/" rel="tag">#surfsocial</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/meta/" rel="tag">#meta</a></p>
