Humein (working name) is a community and soon to be instance that is fully self governed by it’s members. (in an anarchesque way) Or at least it’s going to be. This is the place for discussing Humein: how to build a community, self governance, moderation, memes+fun. If you are interested in joining all you have to do is join the discussion here and on the matrix room. Our documentation/wiki can be found here.

Everything you see here is a WIP, and will change and evolve. It’s all a hot mess but we’d love if you would join in helping out

Our name is currently Humein. That may change because we didn't really have enough people at the time to properly choose a name (other options were coop as in chickens, sei as in whales, and a few more). However, here's where this name comes from:

Humile ant: Is a type of ant that has large colonies of which the worker ants reconize the queens of other colonies. IDK why but we thought this felt sorta like how a self governed instance would work and ants are cool.

We then added -ein as in humane because it sounds and looks cooler and we're on a pretty humane mission.

🎉 Tada! We have a name!
