Purpose
Here we state why we exist and how those commitments shape our work. The server record contains the narrower technical claims that can be checked separately.
01
Follow power through evidence.
We trace ownership, contracts, funding and the conditions attached to access. We ask who made a decision, who profits, who pays and who has the power to challenge it.
We apply the same standard to governments, companies, political movements and NKNW. Our commitments guide the questions; they do not decide the answers. When the evidence changes, the record must change with it.
02
Keep public power on the record.
Decisions made on the public's behalf should leave evidence that other people can inspect. Private conversation needs different conditions: room to think, associate and change course without becoming an advertising profile.
NKNW.info publishes research and corrections. NKNW.chat and NKNW Share provide communication tools with documented technical limits.
03
Oppose war without dehumanizing people.
War turns people into targets and public money into private revenue. We oppose it as policy, industry and political spectacle. We reject threats and the glorification of political violence.
No leader, movement or operator deserves blind trust. Any project that abandons human dignity begins to reproduce the power it claims to resist.
04
Build systems people can leave.
Criticism without an alternative leaves dependence intact. Useful infrastructure should rely on open standards, document its limits and make departure possible when trust fails.
XMPP lets different clients and servers communicate. NKNW publishes operational facts so each person can decide whether this server is suitable and move elsewhere if it is not.
