Welcome to Aangat Lahat. 👋
Aangat Lahat in Tagalog can mean different things depending on the context. It can mean we'll lift each other up as in mutual aid, or it can mean to collectively rise up to oppressive structures.
This service is built around the concept of care and mutual aid. Since data extraction and surveillance is everywhere in our digital world, I wanted to share a server that gives free, private, and secure communications to people. We need to take care and help each other, now more than ever. Currently offering:
Nazis fuck off
If you're using this service to practice the opposite of care like promoting fascism, nazism, militarism, copaganda, zionism, state nationalism, antisemitism, or contributing to the discrimination, harassment or harm against any individual or group through forms of discrimination based on gender, race, religion or sexual orientation, along with issuing statements which are racist, xenophobic, ableist or discriminatory in any other form, you will be blocked. Also, don't use this service to promote your businesses.
Also, don't use this service to promote your businesses. This is only for non-commercial use since this is an anti-capitalist server. Of course, mutual aid projects raising money are allowed.
If you have the following or similar kinds of ideologies or affiliations, you are not welcome here:
- Neo-fascism (white supremacy / white nationalism / neo-nazi /
alt-right / alt-light / identitarian / male supremacy / manosphere)
- Reactionary (GamerGate / anti-feminism / neo-reactionary)
- Neo-feudalism ('anarcho'-capitalism / 'objectivism' / right-wing libertarians)
- TERF, SWERF or otherwise anti-trans or anti-sex worker
- Truscum, transmed or other kinds of identity policing
- People who are generally phobic/shitty towards non-binary genders
- Religious fundamentalism or anti-abortion
- Militarism, chauvinism, ethno-nationalism, xenophobia or similar
- Pro-bestiality/zoophilia.
- People who share sexualized images of children (lolicon or similar)
- Tech bros (capitalists promoting AI / cryptocurrency / tech businesses)
If you work in any capacity (whether as a direct employee or a contractor) for any of the following types of organizations, you aren't welcome here, and if you reveal yourself as such, you will be removed:
- Military
- Police
- Immigration enforcement
- Gov't official
However, ideologies or affiliations based on counter-violence in opposition to oppression (like antifa/antifascism) are welcome here.
Let me know if you know of any accounts with this kind of behavior.
How to register / contact
The server currently has the capacity for additional users. Registering is a manual process. Make sure you understand this page first, then send me a message.
Privacy and security
This server started because I wanted to give people an alternative option from surveillance capitalists like Google and Microsoft. This is an anti-capitalist server built on the principles of mutual aid and not extraction so nothing will be sold to anyone. Here are extra privacy enhancements that I've applied to the server to improve the safety of everyone:
- Logs are only kept for 3 days and only stored in memory instead of the disk.
(adapted from chatmail) - IP addresses are removed from emails that are sent.
(adapted from chatmail) - Backups are encrypted and only retained for a month.
(restic is configured to discard backups beyond 1 month) - Emails older than 3 months are automatically deleted.
(adapted from chatmail) People are free to opt out or adjust when their emails are automatically deleted.
That said, I can make mistakes, hackers can get in, and the government might decide to seize the server or serve a warrant. There are a few ways to mitigate this scenario:
- Encrypt your files on Nextcloud using Cryptomator, gocryptfs, or Hat.sh.
- Use Thunderbird and turn on encryption with your contacts.
- Use services that encrypt communications by default like Signal or Delta Chat.
- Delete emails and chats you don't need anymore.
- Use encryption as much as you can.
