01
We are an informal group of hacktivists, coders, and enthusiasts.
02
We build free tools. We expose bad actors. We make what we like, because we like making it.
04
Membership is opt-in. Participation is self-directed. No hierarchy. No dues. No permission required.
05
The work is the credential. Ship or don't. Both are fine. Lurkers welcome.
// ideological coordinates
Against
- Any Corporate Monopoly
- Security theatre - the performance of safety over actual safety
- Censorship for informed adults
- Government overreach into personal technology and communication
- Walled gardens, vendor lock-in, and proprietary rot
- Venture capital laundering security flaws as innovation
For
- Free and open-source software - all of it, forever
- Sensible AI: transparent, auditable, and not owned by four companies
- Accessibility - technological and ideological - for everyone
- Whistleblowers, researchers, and people who look under rocks
- Protest as a valid software design pattern
- The weird, the niche, and the uncomfortably useful
// how the corps operates
No Gatekeeping
You're a goblin if you act like one. Submit a project. Ship a tool. Expose something that needed exposing. That's the application process.
Community-Fed
We take submissions. Have a nifty project? Seen something cool out there? Submit and become a featured friend!
No Corpo Money
No venture capital. No sponsored content. No masters. To do otherwise prevents honesty and transparency.
Tip-Friendly
Whistleblower tips route to Signal or ProtonMail. Your bad actor report doesn't have to come with a name attached. We take privacy seriously.
