Get Social

Do you want to stay in the know for everything SSC? Post some pictures at the conference? Perhaps you want to share some tips about making the most of the day. Or maybe you want to boost our toots. Follow our updates on Mastodon and in our Matrix rooms. We’re using decentralised tech for our social presence.

Join Mastodon

Mastodon is a decentralised, federated social network. The code is open-source, which means anyone can run the software. We have created an account with Mastodon. We invite you as well. It is easy to sign up, and you need to pick a username, enter your email, and choose a password. That’s it.

Create your account now and start sharing your SSC moments! Don’t forget to give us a follow – @CovSSC.

Don’t want to sign-up? We get it! You can follow our updates without an account. Just visit our profile @covssc.

You can access Mastodon using their web application or using their mobile app.

Updates direct to you

SSC Digital has also launched our private rooms on Matrix, a decentralised, end-to-end encrypted message platform. Again, the code is open-source, and anyone can run the software for secure messaging. You can use the Element web application or mobile apps to sign up and access the private rooms. Once you have an account, you can also communicate with anyone else with a Matrix account.

  1. Go to Element Web or download the Element app
  2. Create an account – you’ll select a username, password, and provide an email
  3. You can also sign up using the popular federated sign-in options like “Sign in with Apple” on the Element mobile app
  4. Join the Cov SSC room and the Cov SSC – Social room
  5. Start sharing!

Get involved

We want to see and hear from you. You can get involved by chatting in the COV SSC – Social Matrix room or posting a toot on SSC Social.
