Manifesto

Here are the things I want, and the things I pledge. This is a personal, flexible, editable, recallable, legally non-binding manifesto for a path towards an open and free digital and web experience for everyone.

I want

RSS to return to all blog and websites
To be free from lock-in platforms
A web I can truly surf on
To find small pages on many things
Music to be hosted locally
Websites to be hosted at the nearest provider geographically
To tear down web monopolies
To have the benefits of Web2 without its big disadvantages
To see a handcrafted web
AI generated articles to disappear
To be free from tracking
More diversity in voices heard around the web
Communities and webrings to form once again
No overkill tools for mundane tasks
A standards-compliant web
A web without its bloat
Web3 to burst into flames

I pledge

To use open software to the maximum of my ability
To keep a personal site that belongs entirely to me
To help people understand their tools when I can
To never keep a practice secret
To do my part in building a true hyperlinked web
To always keep a skeptical view and critical thinking
To give a certain access to the data when I hoard it
To help people transition to an open digital experience
To incite people to adopt a by-default open approach without nagging too much
To publish a blogroll / site-roll / link directory
To at least seek out if not use the lightest possible tool for a task
To at least attempt at making one myself if I cannot find one
To make my way to digital sobriety, if not digital straight-edge
To push forward the spaces, sites, projects and words of marginalized folks (including but not limited to Queer/LGBT, Black & Indigenous, Neurodivergent, Womxn, etc)
To identify problematic digital behaviour and help stop it
