+
+The Civil Society Technology Foundation is a global, volunteer-led, US 501(c)3 non-profit charity incorporated in Washington State.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The foundational technologies of our digital lives are open and free. The architecture of the Internet was intentionally designed with standardization, open protocols, and distributed governance to ensure it remained robust, interoperable, and accessible to all. The Internet and the technologies that run upon it hold the promise to empower individuals and communities locally and globally with the tools to communicate, organize, and innovate without barriers.
+
+However, instead of embracing this potential directly, individuals and organizations have increasingly turned to commercial platforms and service providers to mediate access to technology. While convenient, our usage of technology is now largely centralized, gated, and governed by the increasingly few at the expense of access, privacy, and self-determination of the many. Over-reliance on centralized platforms has resulted in degraded health and weakened civil liberties as they too often prioritize engagement and control over user welfare.
+
+This is a crisis of _digital self-determination_.
+
+Digital technology is in its essence a common good. It is software and software, like knowledge or speech, is free to all. Free to be created. Free to be shared.
+
+_The Civil Society Technology Foundation collaborates to remove barriers to creating, sharing, and using software. Our work spans open software development, educational resources, and community engagement, creating pathways to technological self-determination for individuals and communities in alignment with their values._
+
+
+## Mission
+
+The Civil Society Technology Foundation (CSTF) empowers individuals and communities to reclaim digital self-determination through the development and dissemination of open-source, self-hosted technologies.
+
+We exist to create a world where technology serves people by reducing dependency on centralized platforms and enabling direct control of digital infrastructure and applications.
+
+Through accessible tools, educational resources, and community engagement, we advance practical autonomy: the capacity of users to understand, create, modify, and maintain the technologies they rely on.
+
+We believe digital self-determination, including control over data, identity, and computation, is essential to democratic participation and institutional resilience in the digital era.
+
+This work is motivated by a conviction that open systems, federated infrastructure, and transparent governance are not only technically feasible, but socially necessary. By building and sharing common resources, we contribute to a broader ecosystem of public digital goods—critical to any robust civil society.
+
+
+## Principles
+
+The Civil Society Technology Foundation operates according to the following core principles that guide all our work, partnerships, and initiatives.
+
+### Self-determination by Design
+
+**Users must own their data and control their computing environment.**
+
+Digital systems should be designed with autonomy as a foundational requirement, not an afterthought. This means:
+
+- Data remains under user control by default.
+- Consent must be explicit, informed, and revocable.
+- Infrastructure should be designed for individual or community ownership.
+- Privacy is a fundamental right, not a premium feature.
+
+### Tools Over Policy
+
+**We build alternatives rather than asking for permission.**
+
+While policy reform has its place, we prioritize creating technical solutions that enable autonomy regardless of regulatory environments:
+
+- Direct action through tool-building creates immediate paths to autonomy.
+- Self-determination cannot wait for legislative or corporate reform.
+- Working alternatives demonstrate what's possible and accelerate change.
+- Technical empowerment reduces reliance on regulatory protection.
+
+### Open Source, Always
+
+**Software must be libre—free to use, study, modify, and share.**
+
+Open source is not simply a development methodology but a foundation for digital self-determination:
+
+- Source code transparency enables trust verification and community oversight.
+- Freedom to modify ensures tools can adapt to evolving needs.
+- Rights to redistribute create resilience against capture or abandonment.
+- Collective improvement leads to higher quality and security.
+
+### Self-Hosted Infrastructure
+
+**Individuals and communities should control their own infrastructure.**
+
+Centralized hosting creates fundamental risks of capture, surveillance, and dependency:
+
+- Local infrastructure ownership provides true digital autonomy.
+- Self-hosting creates resilience against external disruption.
+- Community-scale infrastructure balances efficiency with self-determination.
+- Infrastructure design should prioritize simplicity, reliability, and maintainability.
+
+### Democratized AI
+
+**Artificial intelligence must be open, efficient, and serve civil society.**
+
+As AI becomes increasingly central to digital systems, its governance and accessibility are critical:
+
+- AI systems should run on commodity hardware where possible.
+- Models and training data should be publicly available and auditable.
+- Development should be guided by public needs over commercial imperatives.
+- Benefits should accrue to communities, not just model owners.
+
+### Transparent Governance
+
+**All governance must be visible, accountable, and auditable.**
+
+How we govern ourselves models the world we seek to create:
+
+- Decision-making processes should be documented and accessible.
+- Influence should be earned through contribution, not financial control.
+- Community participation in governance should be substantive, not symbolic.
+- Accountability requires both transparency and mechanisms for change.
+
+### Healthy Ecosystems Win
+
+**Projects succeed through their value to communities, not popularity or funding.**
+
+We evaluate success by contribution to civil society, not market metrics:
+
+- Genuine utility to real communities outweighs vanity metrics.
+- Sustainability matters more than rapid growth.
+- Complementary projects create more value than competitors.
+- Diversity of approaches strengthens the ecosystem as a whole.
+
+### Interoperability via Consent
+
+**Standards emerge from alignment, not imposition.**
+
+True interoperability respects autonomy while enabling cooperation:
+
+- Protocols should be open, documented, and implementable by anyone.
+- Standards adoption should be voluntary and beneficial.
+- Federation should respect boundary decisions of participants.
+- Gateways between systems should preserve user autonomy.
+
+### Contribution Defines Membership
+
+**Participation is earned through action. Identity is contextual and optional.**
+
+Communities grow stronger through active contribution:
+
+- Value is created through doing, not just affiliating.
+- Multiple forms of contribution should be recognized and valued.
+- Identity verification should be proportional to the context.
+- Privacy and pseudonymity are valid choices in appropriate contexts.
+
+### Critical Adoption over Blind Use
+
+**Pragmatism means understanding trade-offs.**
+
+We advocate informed choice rather than ideological purity:
+
+- Users should understand what rights they give up and why.
+- Perfect autonomy may be balanced against practical needs.
+- Transition paths from closed to open systems are valuable.
+- Transparency about compromises builds trust and education.

+
+## What is digital self-determination?
+
+Digital self-determination is the ability of individuals, communities, and organizations to exercise meaningful control over their digital lives. It means having genuine authority over your data, the software you use, and the infrastructure that powers your online activities.
+
+True digital self-determination includes:
+
+- **Data control**: Determining what information you share, with whom, and under what conditions.
+- **Software freedom**: Using, examining, modifying, and sharing the code that runs your digital tools.
+- **Infrastructure ownership**: Having the ability to operate your own servers and services.
+- **Knowledge access**: Understanding how your technology works and being able to make informed choices.
+- **Governance participation**: Having a voice in how digital systems are designed and regulated.
+
+Digital self-determination exists on a spectrum from complete dependency to full autonomy. The Civil Society Technology Foundation works toward shifting the balance away from centralized control and toward individual and community empowerment.
+
+## The threat to digital self-determination
+
+Most people today have very little digital self-determination. Consider your typical online experience:
+
+- Your personal information is collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations without meaningful consent.
+- The software you use is controlled by distant companies that can change terms, features, or access at any time.
+- Your content and connections depend on platforms that can censor, amplify, or de-rank what you share.
+- Critical services like email, calendars, and file storage are hosted on corporate infrastructure that you cannot inspect or control.
+- Algorithms shape what you see and how you communicate in ways designed to maximize corporate profit.
+
+This lack of self-determination is not accidental--it's the result of business models and regulatory environments that incentivize centralization and data extraction. The trend toward concentration has accelerated as digital technology has become essential to nearly every aspect of modern life.
+
+## Individuals need digital self-determination
+
+For individuals, digital self-determination affects fundamental aspects of daily life:
+
+### Privacy and security
+
+Without digital self-determination, your personal information becomes vulnerable to exploitation. Your browsing history, location data, and private communications transform into corporate assets, traded and monetized without meaningful consent. Intimate details of your life face constant exposure through data breaches and surveillance, creating a permanent digital record that can be weaponized against you at any time.
+
+Digital self-determination changes this dynamic fundamentally. When you control your digital infrastructure, you determine what information you share and with whom. Encryption and privacy-preserving tools become standard practice rather than specialized knowledge. You can maintain clear boundaries between different aspects of your digital life, protecting both your current privacy and your future autonomy.
+
+### Personal autonomy
+
+Without digital self-determination, your choices become systematically constrained by forces beyond your control. Algorithms shape not just what information you see, but what options appear available to you. Design patterns constantly nudge you toward behaviors that benefit platforms rather than yourself, while essential tasks increasingly require surrendering privacy as the price of participation.
+
+Digital self-determination restores meaningful choice to your daily life. You can make decisions based on diverse information sources that you've actively chosen rather than algorithmic curation. Your tools serve your needs rather than exploiting your attention for profit. Most importantly, you can participate fully in digital society without surrendering your fundamental rights or personal dignity.
+
+### Economic security
+
+Without digital self-determination, you face growing economic vulnerabilities in an increasingly digital economy. Your skills and livelihood become dependent on proprietary platforms that can change terms or revoke access arbitrarily. Economic opportunities remain subject to the whims of platform policies, while the value you create online flows primarily to distant corporate owners rather than building your own wealth or community resources.
+
+Digital self-determination builds genuine economic resilience. You develop portable skills that transcend any specific corporate platform, ensuring your capabilities remain valuable regardless of technological shifts. You can create and connect through systems you help govern, participating in cooperative economic models that distribute value more equitably among those who generate it.
+
+## Communities need digital self-determination
+
+Communities, from local neighborhoods to identity groups to civil society organizations, face particular challenges in the digital age.
+
+### Community autonomy
+
+Without digital self-determination, communities lose fundamental autonomy as their governance structures become subordinated to platform rules and algorithms. Local knowledge and cultural context get systematically flattened by global platforms designed for mass consumption rather than community specificity. Meanwhile, community resources flow steadily toward distant corporations instead of circulating locally to strengthen community bonds and capacity.
+
+Digital self-determination enables communities to truly thrive on their own terms. They can design digital spaces that authentically reflect local values and meet specific community needs. Community standards and practices remain intact without corporate override or algorithmic interference. Most importantly, digital infrastructure becomes a genuine community asset that builds collective wealth and capacity rather than extracting value.
+
+### Resilience against censorship
+
+Without digital self-determination, communities face systematic silencing through mechanisms that appear neutral but consistently harm marginalized voices. Platform policies regularly restrict legitimate speech, with enforcement patterns that disproportionately affect those with the least institutional power. Commercial content moderation systems cannot possibly reflect the nuance and context of diverse community standards, leading to decisions that undermine rather than protect community discourse.
+
+Digital self-determination preserves community voice through infrastructure independence. Communities can operate their own communication systems that resist external censorship while developing content moderation approaches appropriate to their specific context and values. They maintain fallback channels that cannot be easily blocked, ensuring continuity of communication even under pressure.
+
+### Collective memory
+
+Without digital self-determination, community history becomes dangerously precarious as it depends entirely on corporate platforms with their own priorities and lifespans. When platforms shut down or change direction, they take irreplaceable community archives with them. Algorithmic sorting continuously buries historically important content, while corporate priorities rather than community values determine what gets preserved for future generations.
+
+Digital self-determination strengthens cultural continuity by giving communities control over their own historical record. They can maintain archives and documentation according to their own standards and priorities. Knowledge transfer between generations happens on community terms rather than through corporate intermediaries. Digital artifacts remain accessible and meaningful even as underlying technologies evolve, ensuring that community memory persists across technological transitions.
+
+## Civil society needs digital self-determination
+
+For the non-profit and non-governmental bodies that form the backbone of democratic society, digital self-determination is particularly crucial.
+
+### Independence from corporate control
+
+Without digital self-determination, civil society becomes fundamentally compromised in its mission and effectiveness. NGOs find themselves forced to accept surveillance and data extraction as the price of accessing essential digital tools, undermining their ability to protect the communities they serve. Advocacy organizations become dependent on platforms that may actively oppose their values, while corporate philanthropy increasingly shapes which digital infrastructure gets built, prioritizing donor interests over community needs.
+
+Digital self-determination allows civil society to maintain its integrity and independence. Organizations can choose and use tools that genuinely align with their mission and values rather than contradicting them. Advocacy work can proceed without platform-imposed limitations that undermine effectiveness, while infrastructure development responds to actual community needs rather than market incentives or corporate priorities.
+
+### Operational security
+
+Without digital self-determination, civil society organizations face escalating security risks that threaten their core work. Sensitive communications and confidential data must reside on vulnerable commercial platforms designed for profit rather than protection. Critical organizational workflows become dependent on services that can be withdrawn or modified without notice, while organizational data gets integrated into commercial AI training sets without consent or oversight.
+
+Digital self-determination dramatically improves operational security by returning control to the organizations themselves. They can maintain direct oversight of sensitive information rather than trusting corporate intermediaries. Communication channels become resistant to surveillance and interference, while infrastructure resilience protects against both technical disruption and political pressure.
+
+### Ethical alignment
+
+Without digital self-determination, civil society faces deep contradictions that undermine moral authority and organizational effectiveness. Organizations advocating for human rights often find themselves using tools that systematically violate those same rights. Digital workflows frequently contradict stated organizational values, while resource dependencies on extractive platforms compromise advocacy positions and limit strategic options.
+
+Digital self-determination enables authentic alignment between values and practice. Technology choices can reflect and actively reinforce organizational principles rather than undermining them. Digital infrastructure embodies the world organizations are working to create, demonstrating alternative possibilities rather than perpetuating existing problems. Most importantly, consistency between means and ends strengthens moral authority and makes advocacy more credible and effective.
+
+## The path to digital self-determination
+
+Achieving greater digital self-determination isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. It's a journey with practical steps that individuals and organizations can take.
+
+### For individuals
+
+1. **Start with awareness**: Learn how your current tools work and what alternatives exist.
+2. **Make incremental changes**: Replace proprietary services with open alternatives one by one.
+3. **Join communities of practice**: Connect with others on similar journeys.
+4. **Develop technical literacy**: Build skills to maintain more of your own technology.
+5. **Support and advocate**: Contribute to projects and policies that promote digital self-determination.
+
+### For organizations
+
+1. **Audit current dependencies**: Understand where you lack digital self-determination.
+2. **Prioritize critical systems**: Focus first on communications and sensitive data.
+3. **Invest in capacity**: Build technical skills within your organization.
+4. **Build community infrastructure**: Partner with similar organizations to share resources.
+5. **Center self-determination in planning**: Make digital autonomy a strategic priority.
+
+The Civil Society Technology Foundation's [Wild Cloud project](/projects/wild-cloud) provides a reference implementation for individuals, communities, and organizations seeking to regain digital self-determination. It demonstrates that practical steps toward greater independence are possible today, even with limited resources.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Digital self-determination isn't a luxury, it's increasingly essential for meaningful participation in society, for the health of communities, and for the independence of civil society. As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in every aspect of our lives, the question of who controls that technology becomes more urgent.
+
+The challenges are significant, but practical alternatives exist. By taking incremental steps toward greater self-determination, we can build a digital future that enhances rather than undermines human agency, community resilience, and democratic values.
+
+Digital self-determination matters because it determines whether technology will serve as a tool of liberation or a mechanism of control. The choice between these futures is still ours to make--if we act with purpose and clarity about what's at stake.

 ## Introduction
 
-Independent technology—software and hardware developed outside corporate and government control, owned and operated by the people who use it—is essential to the flourishing of civil society in the digital age. As our social, political, and economic lives increasingly move online, the question of who controls these digital spaces has profound implications for democracy, individual autonomy, and collective well-being.
+Independent technology is software and hardware developed outside corporate and government control, owned and operated by the people who use it. We are so accustomed to being dependent on commercial platforms and services that we fail to recognize the alternatives; however, independent technology is essential to the flourishing of civil society in the digital age. As our social, political, and economic lives increasingly move online, the question of who controls these digital spaces has profound implications for democracy, individual autonomy, and collective well-being.
 
 The Civil Society Technology Foundation (CSTF) contends that truly independent technology is not just preferable but necessary for addressing the growing crises of digital rights, privacy, autonomy, and democratic participation. When technology serves its users rather than distant shareholders or state interests, it becomes a foundation for a more equitable, free, and resilient society.
 
 The concentration of digital power in the hands of a few corporations and governments has reached a critical threshold where it now threatens the very foundations of civil society. This essay examines why independent technology matters, what's at stake, and how we can build toward digital self-determination.

+## A call to action
 
 The choice is not between technology and its absence, but between technology that serves its users and technology that serves other masters. Civil society requires digital tools that enhance rather than undermine its core values of autonomy, cooperation, and democratic governance.
 
-Independent technology is not a luxury or a theoretical preference—it is a practical necessity for maintaining the conditions that make civil society possible. When our digital infrastructure is captured by commercial or state interests, the spaces for independent association, expression, and collective action narrow dangerously.
+Independent technology is not a luxury or a theoretical preference, it is a practical necessity for maintaining the conditions that make civil society possible. When our digital infrastructure is captured by commercial or state interests, the spaces for independent association, expression, and collective action narrow dangerously.
 
 By investing in independent technology, we create the possibility of digital spaces that reflect and reinforce the values of civil society rather than market or state power. This is not merely a technical challenge but a social and political imperative that requires both visionary thinking and practical action.
 
 The path forward requires:
 
-1. **Individual Action**: Moving personal and organizational data to self-hosted or community-governed platforms
-2. **Collective Investment**: Supporting the development and maintenance of digital commons through funding, contribution, and advocacy
-3. **Policy Reform**: Advancing regulatory frameworks that limit surveillance, protect privacy, and ensure interoperability

-title: Why Digital Sovereignty Matters
-date: 2025-07-06

-
-## What Is Digital Sovereignty?
-
-Digital sovereignty is the ability of individuals, communities, and organizations to exercise meaningful control over their digital lives. It means having genuine authority over your data, the software you use, and the infrastructure that powers your online activities.
-
-True digital sovereignty includes:
-
-- **Data control**: Determining what information you share, with whom, and under what conditions
-- **Software freedom**: Using, examining, modifying, and sharing the code that runs your digital tools
-- **Infrastructure ownership**: Having the ability to operate your own servers and services
-- **Knowledge access**: Understanding how your technology works and being able to make informed choices
-- **Governance participation**: Having a voice in how digital systems are designed and regulated
-
-Digital sovereignty exists on a spectrum from complete dependency to full autonomy. The Civil Society Technology Foundation works toward shifting the balance away from centralized control and toward individual and community empowerment.
-
-## Why Sovereignty Is Under Threat
-
-Most people today have very little digital sovereignty. Consider your typical online experience:
-
-- Your personal information is collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations without meaningful consent
-- The software you use is controlled by distant companies that can change terms, features, or access at any time
-- Your content and connections depend on platforms that can censor, amplify, or derank what you share
-- Critical services like email, calendars, and file storage are hosted on corporate infrastructure that you cannot inspect or control
-- Algorithms shape what you see and how you communicate in ways designed to maximize corporate profit
-
-This lack of sovereignty is not accidental—it's the result of business models and regulatory environments that incentivize centralization and data extraction. The trend toward concentration has accelerated as digital technology has become essential to nearly every aspect of modern life.
-
-## Why Digital Sovereignty Matters for Individuals
-
-For individuals, digital sovereignty affects fundamental aspects of daily life:
-
-### Privacy and Security
-
-Without digital sovereignty, your personal information is vulnerable:
-
-- Your browsing history, location data, and private communications become corporate assets
-- Intimate details of your life can be exposed through data breaches or surveillance
-- Your digital footprint creates a permanent record that can be used against you
-
-With digital sovereignty, you can:
-
-- Determine what information you share and with whom
-- Use encryption and privacy-preserving tools as a matter of course
-- Maintain boundaries between different aspects of your digital life
-
-### Personal Autonomy
-
-Without digital sovereignty, your choices are constrained:
-
-- Algorithms shape what information you see and what options seem available
-- Design patterns nudge you toward behaviors that benefit platforms, not yourself
-- Essential tasks increasingly require using services that compromise your privacy
-
-With digital sovereignty, you gain freedom:
-
-- Make decisions based on diverse information sources you've chosen
-- Use tools designed to serve your needs rather than exploit your attention
-- Participate online without surrendering your rights or dignity
-
-### Economic Security
-
-Without digital sovereignty, you face growing vulnerabilities:
-
-- Skills and livelihoods become dependent on proprietary platforms
-- Your access to economic opportunities can be arbitrarily restricted
-- The value you create online is captured primarily by platform owners
-
-With digital sovereignty, you build resilience:
-
-- Develop portable skills that aren't tied to specific corporate platforms
-- Create and connect through systems you help govern
-- Participate in cooperative economic models that distribute value more equitably
-
-## Why Digital Sovereignty Matters for Communities
-
-Communities—from local neighborhoods to identity groups to civil society organizations—face particular challenges in the digital age:
-
-### Community Autonomy
-
-Without digital sovereignty, communities lose self-determination:
-
-- Community governance gets usurped by platform rules and algorithms
-- Local knowledge and context get flattened by global platforms
-- Community resources flow to distant corporations rather than circulating locally
-
-With digital sovereignty, communities thrive:
-
-- Design digital spaces that reflect local values and needs
-- Maintain community standards and practices without corporate override
-- Build digital infrastructure as a community asset
-
-### Resilience Against Censorship
-
-Without digital sovereignty, communities face silencing:
-
-- Platform policies can restrict legitimate speech, especially from marginalized groups
-- Arbitrary enforcement affects those with the least power most severely
-- Commercial content moderation cannot reflect the nuance of community standards
-
-With digital sovereignty, communities maintain their voice:
-
-- Run their own communication infrastructure resistant to external censorship
-- Develop community-appropriate content moderation
-- Create fallback channels that cannot be easily blocked
-
-### Collective Memory
-
-Without digital sovereignty, community history becomes precarious:
-
-- When platforms shut down, they take community archives with them
-- Algorithmic sorting buries historically important content
-- Corporate priorities determine what gets preserved
-
-With digital sovereignty, cultural continuity strengthens:
-
-- Communities maintain their own archives and historical records
-- Knowledge transfer between generations happens on community terms
-- Digital artifacts remain accessible even as technologies change
-
-## Why Digital Sovereignty Matters for Civil Society
-
-For civil society organizations—the non-profit and non-governmental bodies that form the backbone of democratic society—digital sovereignty is particularly crucial:
-
-### Independence from Corporate Control
-
-Without digital sovereignty, civil society becomes compromised:
-
-- NGOs must accept surveillance and data extraction to use essential tools
-- Advocacy organizations depend on platforms that may not share their values
-- Corporate philanthropy shapes which digital infrastructure gets built
-
-With digital sovereignty, civil society maintains integrity:
-
-- Organizations use tools aligned with their mission and values
-- Advocacy can proceed without platform-imposed limitations
-- Infrastructure development responds to community needs, not market incentives
-
-### Operational Security
-
-Without digital sovereignty, organizations face serious risks:
-
-- Sensitive communications and data reside on vulnerable commercial platforms
-- Critical workflows depend on services that can be withdrawn without notice
-- Organization data becomes integrated into commercial AI training sets
-
-With digital sovereignty, operations become more secure:
-
-- Organizations maintain control over sensitive information
-- Communication channels resist surveillance
-- Infrastructure resilience protects against disruption
-
-### Ethical Alignment
-
-Without digital sovereignty, civil society faces contradictions:
-
-- Organizations advocating for rights often use tools that undermine those rights
-- Digital workflows can contradict organizational values
-- Resource dependencies compromise advocacy positions
-
-With digital sovereignty, values and practices align:
-
-- Technology choices reflect and reinforce organizational principles
-- Digital infrastructure embodies the world organizations are working to create
-- Consistency between means and ends strengthens moral authority
-
-## The Path to Digital Sovereignty
-
-Achieving greater digital sovereignty isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. It's a journey with practical steps that individuals and organizations can take:
-
-### For Individuals
-
-1. **Start with awareness**: Learn how your current tools work and what alternatives exist
-2. **Make incremental changes**: Replace proprietary services with open alternatives one by one
-3. **Join communities of practice**: Connect with others on similar journeys
-4. **Develop technical literacy**: Build skills to maintain more of your own technology
-5. **Support and advocate**: Contribute to projects and policies that promote digital sovereignty
-
-### For Organizations
-
-1. **Audit current dependencies**: Understand where you lack digital sovereignty
-2. **Prioritize critical systems**: Focus first on communications and sensitive data
-3. **Invest in capacity**: Build technical skills within your organization
-4. **Build community infrastructure**: Partner with similar organizations to share resources
-5. **Center sovereignty in planning**: Make digital autonomy a strategic priority
-
-The Civil Society Technology Foundation's Wild Cloud project provides a reference implementation for organizations seeking to regain digital sovereignty. It demonstrates that practical steps toward greater independence are possible today, even with limited resources.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Digital sovereignty isn't a luxury—it's increasingly essential for meaningful participation in society, for the health of communities, and for the independence of civil society. As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in every aspect of our lives, the question of who controls that technology becomes more urgent.
-
-The challenges are significant, but practical alternatives exist. By taking incremental steps toward greater sovereignty, we can build a digital future that enhances rather than undermines human agency, community resilience, and democratic values.
-
-Digital sovereignty matters because it determines whether technology will serve as a tool of liberation or a mechanism of control. The choice between these futures is still ours to make—if we act with purpose and clarity about what's at stake.

-date: 2025-07-06
----
-
-## Purpose
-
-The Civil Society Technology Foundation (CSTF) empowers individuals and communities to reclaim digital sovereignty through open-source tools, self-hosted infrastructure, and transparent governance. We exist to create a world where technology serves people — not corporations or governments.
-
-## Vision
-
-A sustainable, decentralized ecosystem of people-centered technology. A world governed by user agency, not technocracy, where digital sovereignty enables rather than undermines democratic participation, personal autonomy, and collective action.
-
-## Mission
-
-To advance digital self-determination through the development and dissemination of open-source, self-hosted technologies. We aim to reduce structural dependency on centralized corporate or governmental platforms by enabling individuals and institutions to operate their own digital infrastructure.
-
-Through accessible tools, educational resources, and community engagement, we cultivate practical autonomy: the capacity of users to understand, modify, and maintain the technologies they rely on.
-
-## Core Principles
-
-1. **Sovereignty by Design**  
-   Users own their data and control their computing environment. Consent is explicit, revocable, and informed.
-
-2. **Tools Before Policy**  
-   We build alternatives rather than asking for permission. Reform is irrelevant where autonomy is possible.
-
-3. **Open Source, Always**  
-   Software must be libre — free to use, study, modify, and share. This is the foundation of digital freedom.
-
-4. **Self-Hosting Infrastructure**  
-   Individuals and aligned collectives should run their own infrastructure. Central hosting creates capture risks.
-
-5. **AI for the People**  
-   AI must be open, efficient, and serve civil society. Closed models and centralized control are unacceptable.
-
-6. **Transparent Governance**  
-   All governance must be visible, accountable, and auditable. Influence is earned through contribution.
-
-7. **Healthy Ecosystems Win**  
-   Projects are judged by their value to communities and civil society, not popularity or funding.
-
-8. **Forkability is Freedom**  
-   Divergence is a right. Balkanization is not failure — it is resilience.
-
-9. **Interoperability via Consent**  
-   Standards emerge from alignment, not imposition. We will propose, not enforce.
-
-10. **Contribution Defines Membership**  
-    Participation is earned through action. Identity is contextual and optional.
-
-11. **Critical Adoption over Blind Use**  
-    Pragmatism means understanding trade-offs. Users should know what rights they give up — and why.
-
-_Expanded explanations of these principles can be found in our [Core Principles](/foundation/core_principles) document._
-

-title: Core Principles
-date: 2025-07-06
----
-The Civil Society Technology Foundation operates according to the following core principles that guide all our work, partnerships, and initiatives.
-
-## 1. Sovereignty by Design
-
-**Users must own their data and control their computing environment.**
-
-Digital systems should be designed with sovereignty as a foundational requirement, not an afterthought. This means:
-
-- Data remains under user control by default
-- Consent must be explicit, informed, and revocable
-- Infrastructure should be designed for individual or community ownership
-- Privacy is a fundamental right, not a premium feature
-
-## 2. Tools Before Policy
-
-**We build alternatives rather than asking for permission.**
-
-While policy reform has its place, we prioritize creating technical solutions that enable autonomy regardless of regulatory environments:
-
-- Direct action through tool-building creates immediate paths to freedom
-- Self-determination cannot wait for legislative or corporate reform
-- Working alternatives demonstrate what's possible and accelerate change
-- Technical empowerment reduces reliance on regulatory protection
-
-## 3. Open Source, Always
-
-**Software must be libre—free to use, study, modify, and share.**
-
-Open source is not simply a development methodology but a foundation for digital freedom:
-
-- Source code transparency enables trust verification and community oversight
-- Freedom to modify ensures tools can adapt to evolving needs
-- Rights to redistribute create resilience against capture or abandonment
-- Collective improvement leads to higher quality and security
-
-## 4. Self-Hosting Infrastructure
-
-**Individuals and communities should control their own infrastructure.**
-
-Centralized hosting creates fundamental risks of capture, surveillance, and dependency:
-
-- Local infrastructure ownership provides true digital autonomy
-- Self-hosting creates resilience against external disruption
-- Community-scale infrastructure balances efficiency with sovereignty
-- Infrastructure design should prioritize simplicity, reliability, and maintainability
-
-## 5. AI for the People
-
-**Artificial intelligence must be open, efficient, and serve civil society.**
-
-As AI becomes increasingly central to digital systems, its governance and accessibility are critical:
-
-- AI systems should run on commodity hardware where possible
-- Models and training data should be publicly available and auditable
-- Development should be guided by public needs, not commercial imperatives
-- Benefits should accrue to communities, not just model owners
-
-## 6. Transparent Governance
-
-**All governance must be visible, accountable, and auditable.**
-
-How we govern ourselves models the world we seek to create:
-
-- Decision-making processes should be documented and accessible
-- Influence should be earned through contribution, not financial control
-- Community participation in governance should be substantive, not symbolic
-- Accountability requires both transparency and mechanisms for change
-
-## 7. Healthy Ecosystems Win
-
-**Projects succeed through their value to communities, not popularity or funding.**
-
-We evaluate success by contribution to civil society, not market metrics:
-
-- Genuine utility to real communities outweighs vanity metrics
-- Sustainability matters more than rapid growth
-- Complementary projects create more value than competitors
-- Diversity of approaches strengthens the ecosystem as a whole
-
-## 8. Forkability is Freedom
-
-**Divergence is a right. Balkanization is not failure—it is resilience.**
-
-The ability to take a different path ensures true independence:
-
-- Projects should be designed for potential forking from inception
-- Architectural choices should facilitate independent operation
-- Community disagreement should be respected through supported divergence
-- Diversity of implementations creates antifragility in the ecosystem
-
-## 9. Interoperability via Consent
-
-**Standards emerge from alignment, not imposition.**
-
-True interoperability respects sovereignty while enabling cooperation:
-
-- Protocols should be open, documented, and implementable by anyone
-- Standards adoption should be voluntary and beneficial
-- Federation should respect boundary decisions of participants
-- Gateways between systems should preserve user sovereignty
-
-## 10. Contribution Defines Membership
-
-**Participation is earned through action. Identity is contextual and optional.**
-
-Communities grow stronger through active contribution:
-
-- Value is created through doing, not just affiliating
-- Multiple forms of contribution should be recognized and valued
-- Identity verification should be proportional to the context
-- Privacy and pseudonymity are valid choices in appropriate contexts
-
-## 11. Critical Adoption over Blind Use
-
-**Pragmatism means understanding trade-offs.**
-
-We advocate informed choice rather than ideological purity:
-
-- Users should understand what rights they give up and why
-- Perfect sovereignty may be balanced against practical needs
-- Transition paths from closed to open systems are valuable
-- Transparency about compromises builds trust and education

-title: Mission Statement
-date: 2025-07-06
----
-
-The Civil Society Technology Foundation (CSTF) empowers individuals and communities to reclaim digital sovereignty through the development and dissemination of open-source, self-hosted technologies.
-
-We exist to create a world where technology serves people—not corporations or governments—by reducing structural dependency on centralized platforms and enabling direct control of digital infrastructure.
-
-Through accessible tools, educational resources, and community engagement, we advance practical autonomy: the capacity of users to understand, modify, and maintain the technologies they rely on.
-
-We believe digital sovereignty—including control over data, identity, and computation—is essential to democratic participation and institutional resilience in the digital era.
-
-## Our Approach
-
-To fulfill this mission, we pursue two primary strategies:
-
-1. The creation and support of accessible, libre digital tools
-2. The cultivation of technical literacy through educational resources and community engagement
-
-We approach artificial intelligence as a public utility to be shaped and governed by civil society. Our efforts seek to align technological capabilities with ethical, sustainable, and equitable use, outside the logic of commercial exploitation.
-
-This work is motivated by a conviction that open systems, federated infrastructure, and transparent governance are not only technically feasible, but socially necessary. By building and sharing common resources, we contribute to a broader ecosystem of public digital goods—critical to any robust civil society.

-Perfect — let’s build a simple battle plan (Gramsci-style) for what CivilSociety.dev — or any similar project — could follow to challenge hegemony and build real digital autonomy.
-
-Here’s the flow:
-
-
----
-
-Battle Plan: Winning the War of Position for Digital Civil Society
-
-Phase 1: Build Independent Infrastructure
-
-Launch sovereign services (email, cloud, chat, web hosting) that working-class organizations can use without Big Tech.
-
-Focus on ease of use and collective ownership (community clouds, co-ops, unions).
-
-
-Key goal: Create real-world alternatives that people can rely on.
-
-
----
-
-Phase 2: Popular Education
-
-Teach not just how to use tech, but why digital sovereignty matters.
-
-Build guides, workshops, videos, and political storytelling that connect tech freedom to everyday life struggles (housing, labor, climate, democracy).
-
-
-Key goal: Grow thousands of organic intellectuals inside civil society.
-
-
----
-
-Phase 3: Culture Shift
-
-Create a new "common sense" about tech:
-
-"We can run our own systems."
-
-"Freedom is practical, not utopian."
-
-"Big Tech dependence is a political trap."
-
-
-Use memes, stories, community campaigns to popularize.
-
-
-Key goal: Make sovereignty feel normal, not fringe.
-
-
----
-
-Phase 4: Strategic Alliances
-
-Partner with unions, mutual aid groups, cooperatives, indigenous communities to embed sovereign tech into broader struggles for dignity and justice.
-
-Wild Cloud becomes the digital backbone of working-class and social movements.
-
-
-Key goal: Tie tech sovereignty directly to the survival and power of civil society.
-
-
----
-
-Final Objective:
-
-> Civil society owns its own communication, storage, learning, and organizing tools — breaking the 1%'s hegemony over the digital world.
-
-
-
-
----
-
-Would you like me to also turn this into a quick visual diagram (like a simple flowchart or map) so it’s super easy to share or present?

-
-They're offering services like email, cloud storage, chat, hosting, and more — away from Big Tech.
-
-Clear focus on self-hosting and community control.

-
-
-
-The Learning section is strong: it explains not just the technical but also the political reasons for sovereignty.
-
-It’s accessible but could be pushed further into mass popular education — for example, shorter videos, memes, hands-on toolkits, or alliances with schools/unions.
-
-
-Comment:
-Good foundation — needs scaling up to reach beyond tech-savvy audiences.
-
-
----
-
-Phase 3: Culture Shift
-
-> Rating: Needs Growth
-
-
-
-They challenge Big Tech’s common sense implicitly through projects and writing.
-
-But they're not (yet) visibly changing broader public attitudes or launching mass storytelling campaigns.
-
-No evidence yet of heavy cultural production (memes, viral media, mass campaigns, popular slogans).
-
-
-Comment:
-This is their big opportunity: to widen the cultural battle and make digital sovereignty part of everyday imagination.
-
-
----
-
-Phase 4: Strategic Alliances
-
-> Rating: Needs Growth
-
-
-
-So far, the focus seems internal: building tools, education, and philosophy.
-
-No clear, public partnerships yet with unions, housing co-ops, indigenous groups, or grassroots movements that desperately need digital independence.
-
-
-Comment:
-Strategic alliances with civil society movements would supercharge their impact — this is a crucial next step.
-
-
----
-
-Overall Rating:
-
-Overall:
-
-> CivilSociety.dev is very strong at building and explaining alternatives — now it needs to scale up cultural influence and strategic partnerships to fully realize a Gramscian digital movement.

 Software development for civil society is not merely about creating tools but about building infrastructure for human freedom and agency. The technical choices organizations make have profound implications for who controls the digital systems mediating civic participation.
 
-The Civil Society Technology Foundation advocates for development approaches that prioritize sovereignty, resilience, and community control—recognizing that software created with these values will better serve civil society's mission than technologies that create new dependencies or vulnerabilities.

 By building software with these principles in mind, civil society organizations don't just solve immediate problems but contribute to a digital ecosystem that reinforces rather than undermines human agency and collective action—the foundation upon which civil society itself rests.

+Wild Cloud is the Civil Society Technology Foundation's reference implementation for self-hosted "cloud" infrastructure. This project empowers individuals, communities, and organizations to run their own digital services without dependency on centralized corporate platforms.
 
-## Overview
+When released later this year, Wild Cloud will become a complete, accessible solution for operating essential digital services on infrastructure you control. It combines carefully selected open-source components into a cohesive system providing the functionality needed for self-hosted cloud services.

-By deploying Wild Cloud, organizations can:
+- Host their own cloud services.
+- Maintain full control over their data and communications.
+- Reduce or eliminate dependencies on surveillance-based platforms.
+- Build technical capacity.
+- Participate in a community of practice around independent infrastructure.
 
-- Host their own email, calendar, file storage, website, and collaboration tools
-- Maintain full control over their data and communications
-- Reduce or eliminate dependencies on surveillance-based platforms
-- Build technical capacity and digital sovereignty
-- Participate in a community of practice around independent infrastructure
+The Wild Cloud project aims to start you with a simple self-hosted cloud solution that gets you set up quickly and lets you easily manage your cloud. However, it is a full solution. None of the technical foundations are stripped away. You can go deeper and extend your cloud how you see fit.

+## Philosophy
 
-### Architecture
+Wild Cloud embodies the Civil Society Technology Foundation's [core principles](/about/#principles), which include:
 
-Wild Cloud allows individuals and organizations (cloud admins) to install and manage a full Kubernetes cluster (using K3s) made of one or multiple computers on their own premises. Kubernetes manages much of the complexity of maintaining the health of your cloud and managing the applications deployed in it.
+- **Self-determination by Design**: Users control their data and computing environment.
+- **Open Source, Always**: All components are free to use, study, modify, and share.
+- **Self-Hosting Infrastructure**: Direct control reduces dependency and vulnerability.
+- **Transparent Governance**: All components have clear, accountable governance.
+- **Practical Autonomy**: Infrastructure that users can understand and maintain.
 
-### Applications
+By providing this reference implementation, we demonstrate that digital self-determination is not merely theoretical but practically achievable with current technology and modest resources.
 
-Admins can deploy various applications into their cloud, including:
+## Architecture
 
-- Email servers with webmail interfaces
-- Calendar and contacts synchronization
-- File storage and sharing
-- Collaborative document editing
-- Website hosting
-- Chat and communication tools
-- Knowledge management systems
-- And more, based on organizational needs
+Wild Cloud allows individuals, communities, and organizations (cloud operators) to install and manage a full, standard, Kubernetes cluster made of a few or many computers on their own premises. Kubernetes manages much of the complexity of maintaining the health of your cloud and managing the applications deployed in it. The Wild Cloud project provides a set of reference "stacks" that can be deployed on this Kubernetes cluster. These stacks combine best-of-breed open source software applications to enable productivity, communication, collaboration, and intelligence applications and more.
