We build ethical alternatives to systems that exploit people.
It started in 2011, when a twelve year old opened Facebook, hated what he saw,
and decided to build his own social network instead.

The user is not the product. No selling personal data. No advertising layers. No design tricks that make leaving hard. Open by default. Read the code, fork it, take your identity elsewhere. Limits on us, too. No secret admin panels where one person removes whatever they feel like. Reports go through a process, evidence gets reviewed, people can appeal. If the word never costs you anything, it probably doesn't mean very much. |
Keys live on the person's device. Records are signed client side, so ownership is proven by cryptography rather than granted by us. Every app here shares one identity layer, one session model and one UI library, which is why signing in once works everywhere without a single tracking cookie. Start at oxy, the platform the rest stands on. |

</OxyProvider>One provider covers web and native. Cold boot restores the session silently and never redirects anyone to a login page.
The hard part is no longer the infrastructure. It is the community around it.
We need developers, artists for Syra, sellers for Mercaria, researchers willing to attack the reputation design and tell us where it turns ugly, translators, organisers, moderators, people who know housing and education, and people who know how to build institutions, which is a different skill from building software.
You don't have to agree with us about everything. We specifically need people who will say when something is badly designed, or when an ethical idea creates a different kind of harm.
