Motivation 2017-01-05T 2 Why we do it and what we want to achieve.

Every internet user is forced to use centralized services sacrificing privacy and personal freedoms:

  • Accepts incomprehensible licenses;
  • Endures ads;
  • Gives his data to unknown persons;
  • End up in a "recommendation bubble";
  • Subject to censorship, blocking.

We want digital independence and privacy for our data.

Our mission is to offer an alternative. Your services - your rules:

  • No license agreements, advertising, surveillance, telemetry, bans and censorship;
  • Your data is stored on your server and belongs only to you.

Don Quixotes of the free Internet. It is important for us not only to do the work, but to know the result - the contribution to a positive change in people's attitudes to privacy and independence.
