One network, not a federation
Everyone reaches the same public network.
There are no instances, no defederation, and no server owner deciding which parts of Bigfoot people can reach.
The Bigfoot network
A public network,
not a platform.
One shared social network, publicly operated and publicly owned. No company owns the conversation, the feed, or what the network remembers.
One public history
What people build together should not disappear when a platform changes direction.
Publicly operated and publicly owned
Many can operate it. No company owns it.
People and organizations can run the infrastructure. No operator owns the social layer or becomes the universal editor of the network.
Your experience remains yours
One network does not mean one feed.
No company-owned feed decides what everyone sees. You choose how to organize and filter your own experience without imposing it on everyone else.
No company decides what the network remembers
Public history should outlast private incentives.
Bigfoot has no company moderation queue, universal delete button, or advertising business that can quietly rewrite the shared history around its interests.
Why private stewardship
Coherence without platform ownership.
Private stewardship keeps Bigfoot on one canonical protocol and release path instead of splintering into incompatible networks. It keeps the network coherent without creating a company-owned feed or making the steward its universal editor.
