Manifesto

Metta

Rewind and replay.

Go back to the roots of the Internet: decentralised, self-maintained and self-healing. No policies, no political correctness and no overwhelming commercial interest.

Own your data again. Take it back from Facebook or Google, Microsoft or Apple. Take it back from the government.

Distributed across many nodes, resilient to server failures, agencies peeking, unsolicited censorship - we go all the way back to what Internet used to mean.

We are working on a technology stack, enabling re-decentralisation of the Internet. We build humane, adaptive and affective computing environment. Yours, again.

We call it Metta.

Circles of Trust and Attention

Heads or tails, attention or trust.

There's so much noise in the world, we're broke on our attention. We have none left. Good thing the unlimited credit line is open for trust, right? Never mind the fine print.

We gave all our trust (and then some) to the wrong people. We are now locked in a status quo with most private parts of our lives used for profit, to maximise shareholders returns - or worse.

Big fish with long tails of our content in behemoth datacenters. Suggested pages, products, places and friends.

Living a suggested life.

Metta out

You still can be what you choose to be.

Egocentric internet is not technically worse to what we have now - and the upsides are huge:

• No realistic way to impose data lock-in on you.
• Nigh impossible personal data centralisation (for monetization, analysis, targeting).
• Extremely complicated censorship, control over your free speech.
• Pseudonymous-friendly environment.
• No administration, no policies - boiling soup of ideas and possibilities, fully autonomous small "clubs of interest" bubbles, with their own rules and self-governance.

Built on top of conventional Internet, building from within it, Metta strives to build The Net of the future.

It won't get any better - unless we work it to be. You can observe the trend, the way things are going: corporate and government control over your data and over your life are not going away anytime soon.

Metta works right now.
