In solidarity with Gab

Dear Reader,

The Internet is an amazing innovation. It was the world’s first ‘decentralized’ communication system. The Internet was designed to combat censorship. It was designed to withstand the forces of onerous governments and corporations. But as the Internet matured, the limits of its initial design are becoming obvious.

We believe what was once considered decentralized, is no longer decentralized enough. The free and open Internet has become increasingly controlled and closed by a handful of elites in Silicon Valley. The freedom brought to us by the Internet, and the economic expansion it offers, is under threat.

Thankfully, there are promising new solutions. With these solutions have come promising new opportunities. Market forces are changing and the time is right to begin work on a new foundation. What follows is a chance to participate in the development of a bold and defiant new Internet. One built, funded, and driven by The People.
