makers!
You already know this.
Nor do you need another reminder of just how urgently we need new systems to overcome them. And it probably won’t come as news that, whilst incredibly powerful, the technologies at our fingertips are typically designed and maintained by organisations who care more about making money than making change, however hard their marketing departments try to convince us otherwise.
So why are you reading this?
Like you, we’ve been watching and listening to the world in a state of confusion and dismay over the last few years. But we’re optimists, and we believe that we can all do better. And that’s why we built Crowdpol. Crowdpol is a pro-social platform, where changemakers from across the globe can work together to tackle the challenges of the century. Whoever you are, whatever you do – if you want to contribute to building new systems, Crowdpol is designed for you.
A wallet for the world
Crowdpol is designing an ‘altruistic wallet’, through which the platform’s users get to decide how and where to deploy any surplus generated from membership fees.
Press the red button
The red button feature is at the heart of Crowdpol. Pressing the button will lead you into a step-by-step process for launching impactful collaborative projects.
Delegate to anyone, anytime
Liquid democracy blends the best of both worlds. If there is an individual or organisation you trust, you can give them the right to vote in your stead.
Make friends & influence people
So often online, healthy debate turns into all-out war with deeper entrenched positions as a result. Our deliberative tools are designed to focus on allowing consensus to emerge through constructive dialogue.
Why should you sign up to Crowdpol?
Crowdpol also has many of the features you’d expect to see on any other social networking site, except unlike them, we don’t mine and sell your data or use secret algorithms to nudge you in the interests of the highest bidder. Also, we don’t allow advertising on our website, so every pixel of the screen is dedicated to making change. We’re not-for-profit, open-source, and we’re implementing a community ownership model, so that our users – people like you – are always in control.
A community of one’s own
Crowdpol is designed to allow users to create their own, fully autonomous communities. Such communities can set their own rules and more, but are ‘federated’ within our ecosystem.
The globe through common glasses
Our searchable map interface will allow you to smoothly locate the people, projects and best practices you are looking for. We are working with a team of master map-makers with the goal to pool and link open data around the whole world.
The match-maker algorithm
Just like a dating site, Crowdpol can suggest potential connections, projects and other collaborations for you, based on your location, interests, values, and aims.
Own your data, keep your data
That which we share, we share. That which we want to keep private, we keep private. Crowdpol does not mine or sell your data or manipulate through secret algorithms. We are committed to open processes and open books. Plus we will not even store your private data, you do that yourself.
What about fees?
We are also considering brokerage fees on goods and services provided through the platform. But acknowledging that our earliest users won’t benefit from the fullness of an active community while many of our features are still being developed, we’re extending you an invite to join for free.
