Repostea Manifesto
A platform for critical thinking and constructive debate
Repostea Statement of Intent
Repostea was born as a digital platform with a public service vocation, aimed at facilitating access to diverse information, promoting critical thinking, and fostering constructive debate among people of different ideological sensibilities. In contrast to the noise, polarization, and superficiality of many current spaces, Repostea aims to recover the value of well-constructed arguments, verified information, and mutual respect as pillars of dialogue.
A space for plural coexistence
The Repostea community is open to all ideologies and sensibilities, as long as the principles of legality, coexistence, and respect among users are upheld. We want to build a space where dissent is not perceived as a threat, but as an opportunity for mutual learning. Here, difference of opinion will not be penalized, but personal attacks, gratuitous disqualification, or the use of fallacies will be.
Useful, verified content with added value
Content that provides context, sources, verifiable data, and relevant links will be especially encouraged. The rating system will reward argumentative effort, synthesis capacity, and the contribution of relevant information. We want to recover that spirit in which the best comments were authentic miniature articles that helped to better understand reality.
Fair, consistent, and protective moderation
The moderation system will avoid both arbitrariness and ideological persecution. Decisions will be well-founded, documented, and open to review. We will not tolerate coordinated harassment campaigns, manipulation, or silencing of critical voices. The criterion will always be the quality of the content, not ideological affinity.
Non-invasive, ideologically aligned, and beneficial advertising
Repostea will not include advertising from the start. If incorporated in the future, it will be done discreetly, in locations that do not interfere with the user experience and with advertising content aligned with the ethical and cultural principles of the community. Priority will always be given to advertising that can be useful, interesting, or consistent with critical thinking and reader autonomy.
Information that does not usually appear in mainstream media
Repostea will be a forum to share news, experiences, and reports that do not always find an echo in mainstream media. The goal is to give visibility to realities that are silenced or minimized, providing a platform for those who usually don't have one.
Economic sustainability with ethics and limits
Although Repostea's main objective is not profit, generating income in ways that strictly respect the user experience, editorial independence, and project values is not ruled out. Complementary services, utilities, or tools that add value to users and whose monetization is transparent, ethical, and non-invasive may be developed.
Commitment to transparency
Repostea is committed to maintaining a transparent relationship with its community. Periodic reports on the platform's operation, moderation criteria, participation statistics, and any relevant structural decisions will be published. Access to this data will be free and comprehensible.
Participation in technical development
Participation of the technical community in improving and evolving the platform will be encouraged. Whenever feasible, parts of the system may be opened to public or collaborative scrutiny, in line with principles of responsible development oriented toward the common good.
Media and digital literacy
One of Repostea's pillars will be the promotion of critical thinking. Resources will be made available to users to help them identify misinformation, analyze narratives, verify sources, and build solid arguments. We want Repostea to also be an informal civic school where people can learn to read the world with more tools.
Data protection and enhanced anonymity
Repostea will only collect data strictly necessary for its operation. The use of anonymization and pseudonymization techniques will be maximized, respecting the right to participate without exposing more personal information than is essential. User data will not be commercialized under any circumstances.
Democratic governance and community evolution
As the community grows, Repostea aspires to develop progressive forms of shared governance. Mechanisms for participation in strategic decisions, regulatory reviews, or major functional changes will be implemented. These mechanisms may include public surveys, open debates, or the creation of representative bodies of the community. It's about building, together, a space where the community not only interacts but also co-decides.
Open invitation to build together
This manifesto is a starting point. We invite anyone interested in a platform based on constructive criticism, responsible freedom, and the will to transform to read it, share it, and, if desired, symbolically sign it. Spaces will also be enabled to comment, propose improvements, or express adherence.
Repostea is not just another social network. It is a project of civic culture online. A place for those who want to learn, share, debate, and, above all, build.
