We believe in a more social, egalitarian, democratic and non-extractivist digital public sphere, where our content, relationships and personal data are not merely fuel for the profit engines of megacorporations and billionaires.

Trying out Mastodon today – and using our resources to run a server where others can create an account as well – seems like a step in the right direction. But please consider this a pilot project :-)

*testing, testing*

We are now live at our very own Mastodon instance. It's a good step on our journey towards a more inclusive and democratic internet.

Het Nieuwe Instituut is a testing ground for new designs and infrastructures. Consider this as a beta.
