[BCMA] alternative social media

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi all,

In case you missed it yesterday - registration is now open for our BCMA
Panel: Museums, Social Media, and Hate - What Does the Ethical Use of
Social Media in 2025 Look Like?

Join a panel of arts, culture, and heritage peers to discuss the social,
cultural, and environmental impacts of some of the largest social media
platforms in the world and discuss strategies for more socially responsible
ways of communicating the work of museums with broader audiences. This
online discussion will provide an opportunity to critically reflect on the
tools we use in our work and offer strategies for communicating online and
building audiences without further empowering companies that are actively
contributing to harm.
