Darcy

We are building Darcy, a new online civic space.

Social Media should be better: Not a way to spy on you to manipulate you into viewing ads, but to share important moments with people of your choosing.

To be able to do so, there should be a well-researched interaction model that isn't focused on driving ad impressions. Software that has a beautiful and accessible interface. A community, well-moderated, in a transparent way. It shouldn't be owned by a central company, but decentralized and open source, so you control and own your data.

This is Darcy: Safe, secure and moderated social media that you can install yourself - but don't have to. You can also be hosted. It will be built on Solid, so you will forever own and control your data, even if you later want to move to another service.
