We're building a fully free, decentralized replacement for Youtube, Soundcloud and Flickr. "Software as a service" platforms present challenges for collective privacy, a full diversity of viewpoints and customized online identities. Large service providers are less responsive to users and can easily censor ideas they don't like. Our vision is a zillion small servers sharing amongst themselves instead of one massive corporate entity arbitrating sharing by media type. We want artists and technologists to work together to build a better web. Join us!
