When Disroot began to take shape back in 2015, the world seemed to be heading in a different direction. People were talking about climate agreements, building alternatives… and riding that same wave — almost as a necessary reaction — Disroot was born: our modest but determined attempt to offer digital tools that do not sell our privacy, freedom and choice to the highest bidder. Now 10 years in and looks like the world has gone on the downward spiral. Privacy seems to be a term of the past. Sponsored content, digital exhibitionism and glorification of fame is the new standard. Short content format has taken over the world. AI slop is slowly taking over the internet. While all this is happening, there is still hope. There are still ton of people working endlessly to create another horizon of possibilities, coding, testing and hosting alternatives that tries to distant itself from the corporate internet most of the world uses on daily basis. We are happy to be a part of that movement and would like to celebrate with all of you briefly reviewing some of the most important milestones on this journey that began ten years ago.
