“When we see the word ‘Pro’ attached to software, let's reconsider that it's not referring to ‘professional’, it's referring to ‘proprietary’.”

Merveilles

We are a collective of forward-thinking individuals who strive to better ourselves and our surroundings through constant creation.

Instance Values

A demand for technology and society to re-center around sustainability, longevity, and balance with an emphasis on renewable energy.
A focus on decentralization, community activism, social justice, and civic empowerment.
A recognition that economic, social, and ecological injustices are all deeply interconnected.

Instance Rules

One must respect the Code of Conduct.
One must remember the Three Gates Of Speech.
One must wear a Black & White avatar.

Merveilles is Invite Only

We want to keep the instance small. The aim is to facilitate discussions on the various projects created by members of the Merveilles community. So, that is why we are keeping things invite-only for the time being. This is intentional to reduce the overhead on the moderation team and to focus on our existing members more. You may only receive an invite if someone already on the instance recommends you to the moderation team for review.
