The Big Picture
Ocelot-Cloud simplifies digital infrastructure management. Its mission, however, extends beyond technology. This video highlights the scientific reasons we struggle with today’s digital world.
Problem 1: Human Limits
Our brains evolved for small, close-knit groups where people share culture and see each other frequently. Modern social media, however, forces us into a global sphere of unfamiliar faces and conflicting views, causing stress, mistrust, and division.
Problem 2: Concentrated Power
A few giant tech corporations dominate online spaces, especially social media. Their power can be abused to exploit user data, manipulate opinions, and influence elections.
Solution: Digital Villages
Digital Villages are small, cohesive communities built around shared interests: neighborhoods, hobbies, causes, or professions. Ocelot-Cloud makes it easy to found a Digital Village by hosting it on a server. It’s apps cover forums, data storage, and more services for organization and interaction. The approach is decentralized, offering:
- Smaller, trusted groups that reduce stress and promote camaraderie.
- Reputation-based systems that foster accountability and constructive norms.
- No commercial tracking, no addictive design, no destructive content promotion.
- Local autonomy, with each village setting its own culture and rules.
- Resilience against single points of control or censorship.
Digital Villages are not a replacement for real-world social connections, but an intentional alternative to the noise and manipulation of mainstream social media.
