"Lemmy Unchained is not just a Lemmy instance, but a dynamic social experiment that advocates for user agency in the digital age. Our primary directive is to empower you, our valued users, to shape the ethos and operation of this server. We foster an environment of digital autonomy where your voice is not just heard but also has the power to influence the very fabric of this platform.

We invite you to join us in our pioneering journey towards a more democratized digital future. Together, we can shape an online space that champions user-led governance, decentralization, and true community spirit. If at any point you feel that we are failing in our mission, we ask you to leave, as it is our intention to create a community that accurately mirrors the desires and opinions of its active members.

Lemmy Unchained aspires to serve as a beacon to other servers and social platforms, demonstrating the power and potential of a community when entrusted with the keys to their digital abode. Our commitment to digital sovereignty goes beyond just words; we are taking tangible steps to minimize reliance on external cloud services like AWS and to maintain our server locally with physical hardware. This strategy not only guarantees our independence but also aids in circumventing undue censoring.

As we continually refine our rules and mechanisms for change, we ask for your patience and active participation. We firmly believe in the power of localized governance; hence, independent communities within our platform will have the latitude to establish their own community guidelines with minimal admin intervention.

The democratization of our platform extends to the selection of admins as well; from time to time, admins will be chosen at random, reflecting a true democracy, and will serve for a predetermined tenure.

Join us at Lemmy Unchained, and let’s together script a new chapter in the annals of the digital world.
