Roadmap

2016: Envisioning a Diverse Digital World
How can we ensure a digital world free from bias and censorship?
In 2016, the digital landscape started shifting significantly. Tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter began actively filtering and controlling the information available to users. Algorithms were deployed without user consent, limiting the visibility of various topics. This raised concerns about transparency, and information accessibility, and ignited debates about censorship and objectivity. This era marked the widespread practice of global information suppression.

2017: Privacy Reigns Supreme
How do we protect user data and privacy in the digital age?
In 2017, poorly safeguarded user data and privacy scandals made headlines. Reports exposed how tech giants and social platforms violated users' privacy rights. These scandals highlighted serious challenges regarding personal data security and privacy online, sparking ethical debates and public discussions about user rights. It was the beginning of mass privacy breaches.

2018: The Rise of Fact-Checking Communities
How can we discern truth from misinformation online?
Fact-checking organizations emerged as arbitrators of truth in the online realm in 2018. However, questions about their impartiality and reliance on solid factual sources frequently surfaced. Even scientific information and publicly available documents were challenged, often leading to court verdicts declaring fact-checkers judgments as mere opinions. It was the year when fact-checking's credibility came under scrutiny.

2019: A Vision for Unpopular Discussions
Can we create a platform unafraid to tackle sensitive and unpopular global issues?
In the 21st century, a platform that values reducing censorship, prioritizing data privacy, and encouraging free speech and content diversity is more critical than ever. In today's tech-driven era, where censorship and so-called independent fact-checkers become increasingly assertive in stifling various opinions and vital news, a decentralized social platform can help preserve a free, democratic, and diverse space for expression.

2020: Building a Diverse Dream Team

However, this decision faced extensive criticism and sparked debates about social media's role in regulating political content and online free speech.

2021 Q1: Striking the Content Moderation Balance
How can we responsibly moderate content while preserving free speech?
Also in early 2021, Amazon removed the free speech-oriented social network "Parler" from its hosting services. After the U.S. Capitol riot, "Parler," popular among some right-leaning users, faced accusations of inadequate moderation and promotion of violent content. Amazon stated that the existing moderation efforts were insufficient and that the platform was fostering violence. This action fueled discussions about tech companies and government officials potentially controlling and censoring content on social media platforms.

2021 Q3: Crowdsourced Support for Independence
How can we empower the community to support this endeavor?
In late 2021, supporters rallied to fund the project.

2022 Q3: Alpha Version for Early Supporters
What role will early supporters play in influencing the platform's development?
The alpha version of the project was introduced to early investors and visionaries in 2022.

Early users identified and reported issues and suggested improvements, shaping the project for external public release.
