Reject the spectacle. Build the alternative.

A network of people in Europe who are tired of „paying attention to noise" being confused with „caring about the world". Open to everyone. Children welcome.

direkt — we call things by their name, no detour.
heimlich — we don't perform them. Quiet work beats loud posts.

Why

The loudest voices online are not the wisest. The platforms amplifying them are not neutral. The political theatre — Trump, Epstein, Musk, the daily outrage cycle — is not news, it's a product, and we are not its audience.

There's another way to live online and offline: in real groups of real people, with tools we control, talking about what actually matters where we actually live.

What it is

A network. Not an app, not a brand, not a movement-with-merch.
People in Europe who share the values.
Tools we control: Matrix for chat, Bitwarden EU for secrets, Ente for 2FA, Nextcloud for files.
Local nodes (one person, one city, one project) loosely connected. No HQ.
Open to children. They are not future members. They are members.

What it is not

Not a political party.
Not an anti-American thing. Not anti-anything. Anti-spectacle.
Not a closed club — but not a free-for-all either. You actually have to share the values, not just like the aesthetic.
Not a place to argue about Trump or Putin or Musk. There are 10,000 of those. This isn't one.

Code of conduct

No dunking. No doomscroll dumps. No algorithm bait. Argue ideas, not people. If you wouldn't say it in someone's kitchen, don't say it here.

Children are in the room. Language, topics, tone accordingly. This isn't a restriction — it's the norm. If that feels exhausting, this isn't your place.

Introduce yourself. Three sentences: who you are, where you live, what you want to bring. Lurkers get a friendly nudge after 30 days.

Joining

The Matrix room is public. You'll need a Matrix account (e.g. on matrix.org or a German homeserver like tchncs.de) and a client like Element.

The room link is coming soon. Until then: write to me, I'll invite you directly.

What we will not do

We won't build an app for this.
We won't do Discord. Matrix or nothing.
We won't chase numbers. 30 real people > 3000 lurkers.
We won't perform our values for an audience. We just live them.
