Hello everyone, researching new social media platforms. We use five currently, but each has its drawbacks. I would be very interested on your views, e.g. we really like the ability to schedule posts, and you can now do that on Threads. What do you prefer to use, and what features do you value most?

The Boring Fund - Open Collective We support small non-profit organisations (UK) by only funding the really boring (but essential) stuff like insurance, accountancy or admin

The Boring Fund will be open for applications in November.

If your small UK charity needs (up to) Β£200 to cover something boring like insurance or web hosting, take a look.

They welcome donations too.
