The idea behind the site is to make decentralised, privacy preserving, resilient (and fun!) tech more accessible to people who don't already know about this stuff. Hence videos and user focused questions. We want to expand the appeal and plan to do podcasts and meetups too.

We hope to engage digitally literate people and show them that there are concrete existing software and app options they can use now that aren't selling your data, are interesting, easy to use and open.

However, we also need to be pragmatic - aiming to use decentralized open software ourselves when it works for our use case, but not if it stops us doing this quickly.

Please do sign up to the mail list or email us because we have ambitious plans that could use help and would love feedback (esp on stuff like if videos are really much less useful to people etc) :)

Cheers, Ira
