Okay, so… a bit of backstory first. I am building a server on Stoat (formerly called Revolt) for a technological commons of sorts because it has none so far and I am trying to build one on that social media platform because it is an Open-Source alternative to Discord that will eventually have E2EE. I have made a lot of progress, but I am looking for ANYONE to join and help build this up (it does not matter if you are left, right, progressive, conservative, etc, I am accepting all) who are fairly knowledgeable about FOSS, FLOSS, Operating Systems, and much more! If you are interested in such a proposition, send a friend request my way. Down below will be how I explained it on Stoat itself.

‘[NOTE: Read on after this, but The Archive is a Work in Progress, so you can also join as an Aggregator if you want to contribute to building the collection.]

The Mainframe is a commons for discussion surrounding technology, privacy and surveillance, media, music, games, and general discourse. Stoat has long lacked a dedicated commons for technology, support, and digital matters.

The Mainframe was created to fill that void; engineered around a concept dubbed The Archive: a growing collection of information, guides, resources, FAQs, support channels, troubleshooting aid, and community discourse.

Whether you seek support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Custom ROMs, or iOS, wish to discuss Proprietary or Open-Source (FOSS/FLOSS) hardware/software, using encryption (E2EE), self-hosting software, and custom PC building, have a burning desire to speak about content creators, shows, movies, anime, music, games, and game modding; or if you are simply longing to chat, The Mainframe is a place to gather, learn, request aid, preserve information, share knowledge, and have fun.

Join The Mainframe today and escape the matrix!
