Do you identify with these?
What today’s platforms are doing to us, and how we fix it
No more hidden systems. No more unseen influence
Manipulation & Centralization
Manipulation & Centralization
Our society is being manipulated so that it can be divided and controlled
No hidden algorithms, users can control what they see,
Media ownership is concentrated in a few powerful hands with hidden interests
We are non-profit, open source, and transparent
Censorship & Control
Freedom of Expression
Opinions against the official version are being censored.
Our decentralized protocols and community-moderated content allows freedom of expression and censorship resistance
Legitimate debate and vote is being suppressed
We prioritize dialogue and respectfully sharing different opinions, with tools to debate and vote
Polarization & Division
Connection & Understanding
Political radicalization is growing, with increase hostility between ideological groups
Human-centered algorithms prioritizing dialogue and reason over noise
We suffer a breakdown of social cohesion and empathy
Stronger, healthier digital communities
Erosion of Trust
Truth & Integrity
People don’t believe in any source, even credible ones. Truth is becoming relative
Human-centered algorithms prioritizing dialogue and reason over noise
Collapse of collective intelligence and informed decision-making
Stronger, healthier digital communities
Attention & Dopamine
Focus & Purpose
People are addicted to constant stimulation, reducing their focus and critical thinking
We don’t monetize dopamine addiction but provide meaningful content.
Emotional volatility caused by exposure to outrage, fear, and comparison cycles
Respectful self-worth and motivation.

They want control. We want freedom. Join us.
This may be the last time you have a real choice.
We’re living through a slow collapse of truth. A few platforms control what we see, what we’re allowed to say, and what we’re allowed to believe. The longer we accept it, the harder it will be to reverse.
Join Demos, before silence becomes permanent.
