Purpose

Foundation

This community is to be designed to give people a place to be free of judgement and express their true self, while connecting with other people in an honest and open way. We aren't here to become internet famous or generate likes and views on our content. These services are provided as a means to connect to others and explore our relationships with thoughtfulness and respect, regardless of distance from each other in the real world.

IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations

Rationale Behind "Self" Hosting:

Most social media platforms are designed to make money by selling your data and showing you advertisements. Doing it yourself avoids these issues and allows the creation of a more intimate community where people know each other and can have more meaningful connections. Big tech companies also are designed to be spread across the biggest audience possible, which sometimes isn't always desirable. The only people we are accountable to in our community are each other, and whatever company will end up hosting the silicon these web services will run on.
