Can't wait for this to get going; I have ignored most of my social pages on Facebook (Vintage Kingston), while others are carried on by others (Vintage Toronto), and I left X, that cesspool of hate, ages ago #Elbowsup #teamcanada

Super excited! Can't wait to try it out! Signed up to Beta test! Glitches come with everything! No worries!

Can you give us any hints as to when you're going live? I'm looking forward to a platform that isn't groaning under the weight of US disfunction.

Here it is!!!!

Let us know how to help, both technical and non technical help. There are a huge pool of Canadian resources that will volunteer or contribute at low cost to help get this going.

I’m Thaer, 17 years old The war took my parents I’m alone, starving, and homeless I injured my hands while trying to get food from an aid truck Even $100 can help me get treatment and survive a few days with food and safety Please help Link in bio 🙏💔

I think I’m in and I’m really excited to explore Gander!!

Exciting.

Just signup also, great news for Canadians! On the signup page in French, there are two menu options that show the keys and not the translations (nav.the_team and nav.roadmap). Also, once signed up, can we change our status as a beta tester once registered? I would like to participate.

I joined the early access! I'm so excited about this!!!

Sure can. Honestly, we are fans of Bluesky and wear the subdomain proudly. That's liable to change down the road but we're cool with it for now.

Finally was able to get through and looking forward to signing up. Thank you for existing, Gander!

Just signed up. All Canadian! Can’t wait!

Following now 🎉🇨🇦

Yes I believe it should be!

I signed up weeks ago, but haven’t heard anything since. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So happy to have gotten in today!

Just signed up!!

Thanks for this message. I tried yesterday and got an error message. Today, all smooth sailing! 😊

I just signed up to beta test as well. I'm so excited for a Canadian platform!

Just joined.. can’t wait for all the good stuff! 🩷

Thanks for the heads-up Ramona. We'll get that fixed.

Hey Tod! We’d be happy to chat with you about your video. To answer your question, the Gander platform will be entirely run on sovereign hosting from ThinkOn. This includes our databases, servers, user data, media, backups, and moderation tools.

I am so excited, just downloaded the image and shared it ... will def ditch facebook in favour of Gander, keeping my Bluesky though it replaces "X". Can spelling be a confirmation, only Canadians will see and get this comment.

Signed up a couple of hours ago. I don't mind Bluesky but I cannot be as generous with any other social media I've tried. I've tried many in my quest to ditch Facebook. I'll try to coax my friends and family to join, but if they don't it'll be there loss. Elbows up and vive le Canada. I'm chuffed!

Signed up! Really hoping that we can do something positive here with Gander. I saw your story on the news and love your vision.

Well this reminds me; could you do us a favor for us poor souls that have to put up with what's his name!

Signed up as an early starter. Usernames will get assigned following launch; the target is August 2025 though that could change.

@ijustfailed.bsky.social

Will there be a migration tool for existing Bluesky accounts to seamlessly migrate to the new platform? Will we be able to continue using both interoperably and seamlessly through the beta and indefinitely as it is the same AT protocol?

thank you, thank you, thank you. as a yank, my NS grandparents are 50% of me. i cry during your anthem prior to hockey games. 🥹

I just signed up , looking forward to a new Canada Safe social media program ... I am going to share this place with family and friends as soon as i learn more .. i am excited !
