Hi, the boosts are our Community Feed accounts which organise posts into topical feeds across the Fediverse.
They boost the posts of key contributors (chosen by our team). As this tech is also what we use on the Newsmast app, that means all Community Feeds see our brand account posts and boost them. That way, we can quickly communicate with our users.

Vijay was a member of our team who left last year. Our current team can be seen on our website here: https://www.newsmastfoundation.org/about-us/our-team/
And we're definitely a charity
Although, as the admin I'm flattered you think we look that good -

You're artificially boosting your own posts, also know as brigading.
Are your employees and trutees paid or volunteers? What are their salaries? Where does the capital come from for the venture? Are their any payments being made to private businesses for services? How much? Are any of those businesses owned by associates, trustees or employees of Newsmast? Do you operate out of business premises? Who owns the lease? How much rent is paid?

We understand the concerns about our Community Feeds, but we are not brigading. Our system ensures communication with our Feed and Community users.
We are aware of the side effects of this system but we have worked with the Mastodon team to prevent these. Both ourselves and the Mastodon team are limited by the existing tech, but we do need to communicate with our users.

In response to your other queries, our trustees do not receive any sort of direct or indirect monetary benefits as a result of the Newsmast Foundation. We are a UK registered charity, committed to growing decentralised microblogging communities. You can see more about this on our website.
