Internet Manifesto

1. Empathy and Understanding

We live in a distant world. People I meet are from all over, which can be hard to understand for others. I aim to utilize my ability to connect by understanding and getting interested in people's lives. I pledge to:

  • Listen deeply and genuinely
  • Suspend judgment and seek to understand
  • Recognize the humanity in every digital interaction

2. Unconditional Sharing!

Information should be free and accessible to all. I will:

  • Make all of my work free and accessible to all (e.g. public domain Wikipedia contributions)
  • Creating and sharing content for others benefit
  • Supporting open-source principles
  • Creating extensive documentation on all of my projects

3. Genuine Human Connection

I aim to create a genuine human connection with all people I meet, regardless of who or where they are from.

4. Privacy & Self-Hosted Services

In terms of my personal (some public) services, I commit to never selling, viewing or share personal information with third parties or myself. I will:

  • Respect user data as a fundamental human right
  • Not implement tracking and/or monetization in my services
    • I pledge to not implement tracking or systems in which a user can be individualized or categorized
  • Ensure user data is never used for profit
  • Focus my services on being free and open
  • Suggest/support technologies that help privacy

I Commit

I am not perfect, that's for sure, but I am committed. I promise to continuously learn, grow, and adapt to my environment, goals, purpose, and the people around me.
