License

One instance of realness per human person. This human person is the moderator.

A moderator takes responsibility for the content that is created within their instance of Realness.

By moderating an instance of Realness you become part of a chain of responsibility that is diffuse. Each instance of Realness is a unique opportunity for users to negotiate norms with their moderator. This way, human beings can move between networks naturally; choosing a Realness that is a good fit for them.

It is the explicit goal of realness to create a democratic environment where people feel free to share and communicate yet it is clear whose ass is on the line for what gets said, organized, and done.

Currently package.json has the license field marked as UNLICENSED – This is because we are in an alpha phase of the product roadmap. We need to figure this license out.
