Offer alternative, ethical digital services and open-source software to replace the platforms of the tech giants

In a culture where digital technology is everywhere, we want to offer user-friendly and empowering tools that put people back in control while respecting their integrity and dignity. However, we acknowledge our limitations as we strive to bring these ideals to life: we do our best, and that’s already pretty good!

We make sure to freely share the methods, products, and lessons learned from our actions. We build our achievements within the Commons. We want everyone to be able to take ownership of them and adapt them to their own situation, but also to avoid being in a position of power due to a monopoly over one resource or another.

“Online” empowerment means regaining autonomy, critical thinking, and freedom in one’s digital practices.

• Hosting of open-access, free online services.
• Development of free and federated software to empower ourselves

Popular education is the freedom of every individual to share and access knowledge: the foundation of a better world!

• Sharing ideas, initiatives, and achievements related to digital technology, the commons, and social justice.
• Sharing knowledge on digital empowerment through conferences and workshops.

In an archipelago where everyone is an island (with their own identity) floating in shared waters (the same values), cooperation is a given!

• Creation of the CHATONS collective to facilitate access to other trusted hosting providers.
• Contributions to projects that inspire us (sharing experiences, technical support, communication, etc.)
