Core Ideologies
Decentralize
Where governments always fail in long term planning is that a central point of control leads to a single point of failure.
By creating decentralized information outposts which are not contingent on external infrastructure we can ensure the longevity of our data.

Responsible Sharing
Data ownership like anything else requires personal effort. If you want your hand held and you want data spoon fed to you, self hosting free software may not be for you.
Be willing to put forth a reasonable effort and the open source community will be quick to assimilate your contributions.

Privacy
I don’t like secrets, and software is made for sharing. If you want to hoard secrets, I’m unable to assist.
I do believe in privacy, and I guarantee you what little we have left is under constant assault.
By operating independently we can mitigate invasions of privacy.
