Vive is a new social platform for communities signing up to a "transition" worldview and practice

Great to see this kicking off - the Vive network, an activist social-media platform driven by the Transition Network, which has been explicitly designed to link up green-transition oriented groups and individuals.

The video above is an explainer, and one of the lead organisations - as you can see from the graphic below - is SCCAN (Scottish Communities and Climate Action Network).

Here’s an extract from the Why Vive? page:

Vive is an ethical online space, using open source software and powered by green energy. The same technology has been tried and tested by Transition Network internationally to help people connect and collaborate around the world – now we’ve created a version focused on the UK to build stronger links between people involved in Transition here. 

It can be hard to cut through the noise and ads of social media to get to the heart of the matter. Vive is more than just a social media platform though – it’s a place where we can collaborate around our common interests and the work we’re doing to change the world locally.
