FROM EUROPE WITH LOVE
MANIFESTO
Conversation Deserves Higher Ground
SCROLL
The Diagnosis
Social media promised connection. Instead, it gave us echo chambers (the intellectual equivalent of a hamster wheel), outrage algorithms (profiting from your worst impulses), and digital sharecropping (your content, their ad revenue).
This isn't by accident—it's the business model.
The Antidote
We're rebuilding the Pnyx—where conversations triumph over consumption (no infinite scroll into despair), moderators rule, algorithms tool (actual humans reviewing actual harm), and trust equals visibility (verified voices rise, trolls don't).
The Proof
It worked in 507 BC. It'll work now. Think Athenian-grade debate (but with better gender equality), Roman-level infrastructure (but without the slavery), and Enlightenment-era ideals (but actually enforceable).
The Call
This isn't another app. It's an exodus to human-led spaces, trust-first design, and conversations that matter. The network we all deserve won’t be built by a corporation. It’ll be built by you.
We are Pnyx. Pronunciation optional. Principles non-negotiable.
