Privacy for digital homes & communities... Portability enabling social media competition

Land and home ownership is a hallmark of advanced civilizations. The Digital Home Initiative establishes 'digital home ownership' by creating control, privacy and security conventions needed by individuals, families & communities to thrive in cyberspace, where they can live and gather freely without unwanted surveillance.

Physical communities take for granted the roads and services that connect us: road and car standards e.g. the stop sign; the USPS for seamless communication; POTS telephone service to talk to anybody, anywhere, anytime.

Digital civilization needs to catch up. If I choose to leave FB or LinkedIn, I shouldn't have to sacrifice the digital communities I've established there. I also may choose to live in a digital place with less or no billboards, or billboard diversity.

We need our digital roads paved and connected, our digital communications secured, global, reliable.

Romans used architecture to change their empire.

Where most other industries are using digitization techniques to break up fiefdoms and silos, current social networks use their fiefdoms to control their empires.

DHI proposes modern digital architectures to break up the digital fiefdoms created by 1st-gen social media, and replace them with communities that value security, privacy, and portability.

Today's tech standards like REST, JSON and others make it easy for social networks to connect, while maintaining their proprietary innovation that separates them from others.

Like language standards, DHI has an opinionated tech stack that remains light for everyone to dig into.
