DisNews 25.08 - Disroot 十年
当 Disroot 在 2015 年开始成型时,世界似乎正朝着不同的方向发展。人们在谈论气候协议、建设替代方案......顺着同样的浪潮——几乎是一种必要的反应——Disroot 诞生了:我们谦虚但坚定地尝试提供数字工具,这些工具不会将我们的隐私、自由和选择出卖给出价最高的人。现在 10 年过去了,看起来世界已经继续了 螺旋式下降。隐私似乎已成为过去。赞助内容、数字暴露狂和名声美化是新标准。短内容格式已经席卷了世界。人工智能的邋遢正在慢慢占领互联网。虽然这一切正在发生,但仍然有希望。仍然有大量的人无休止地努力创造另一个可能性的视野,编码、测试和托管替代方案试图远离企业互联网的大部分 世界每天使用。我们很高兴成为这一运动的一部分,并想与大家一起庆祝,简要回顾十年前开始的这一旅程中的一些最重要的里程碑。

2016 年,事情变得更加激烈。当英国投票决定离开欧盟,特朗普准备入主白宫时,我们朝着真正的独立迈出了关键一步。为了真正独立并朝着自我可持续迈出一步,我们决定使用我们自己的硬件来运行 Disroot。全年我们一直在制定基础知识,例如 ToS、网站 内容以及设置基础设施并向平台添加越来越多的服务。我们还从 OwnCloud 迁移到 Nextcloud,加倍投入免费软件。在一个自我封闭的世界里,这个项目正在打开大门。

第二年,即 2017 年,整个世界似乎都精神崩溃了——丑闻、抗议活动、#MeToo 运动震动了尘土飞扬的旧建筑。与此同时,Disroot 经历了第一波新用户浪潮——这要归功于 openmailbox-gate——并以增长作为回应:一个新网站、推出 Howtos 和指南网站,也许最重要的是,成为一个正式的基金会。在全球混乱中, 项目正在进行长期挖掘。

2018 年并没有平静下来。毁灭性的野火、大规模的抗议活动,以及仍然在互联网的一个安静角落里,Disroot 继续建设:添加额外的新服务器,关闭我们的 Matrix 实例(一个艰难但必要且正确的决定),以及 Disroot 应用程序的诞生,这要归功于我们的一位 Disrooter Massimiliano 的贡献。这是扎根的一年。

2019 年,当巴黎圣母院被烧毁,数百万人为气候游行时,该项目发生了更多的政治转变。它开始向 FLOSS 项目捐款,最终发布了使命宣言,并欢迎两位关键人物加入核心团队:Fede 和 Meaz。Disroot 不再只是基础设施——它是一个有发言权的社区。

然后是 2020 年。我们能说什么呢?大流行暴露了一切。当政府争先恐后,大型科技平台变得无处不在时,Disroot 与许多其他草根倡议一样,成为了一个避难所。我们关闭了 Diaspora* 实例,启动了COVID19工具包,并开始开发加密电子邮件存储。保护这个词,当其他一切都是噪音时。

2021 年,在疫苗、军事撤军和试图重建自己的世界之间,Disroot 欢迎avg_joe加入核心团队;Muppeth 辞去了他“正常”的日常工作,全身心地投入到这个项目中。铁。Disroot(封闭的侨民的替代品)完全融入了 Fediverse,我们的电子邮件加密项目 Lacre 获得了 NLNET 的资助。Disroot 不再只是做出反应——而是主动构建。

2022 年以俄罗斯入侵乌克兰、能源危机和对倒退的恐惧为标志。然而,在这种氛围下,Disroot 不断完善其生态系统。我们将多年来收到的大量捐款投入到全新的服务器中。我们将网络邮件软件切换到 Roundcube,并在 Disroot.org 基础设施上对 Lacre(邮箱加密)进行了第一次真正的测试。喜欢某人 静静地为长期做准备。

2023 年,当生成式 AI 充斥着头条新闻和公众想象力时,我们的项目做出了一个小而重要的举措:我们从 Gitea 迁移到社区驱动的分叉 Forgejo。因为代码开放是不够的——重要的是谁是它的幕后黑手。虽然对于 Disroot 来说,这似乎不那么忙碌,但我们非常关注内部。重新定义我们组织工作的方式,同时也致力于改善基础设施 实施自动化。这也是 Meaz 与 Muppeth 一起执行系统管理任务的转折点。我们不再为单点故障而苦苦挣扎,这一增加提高了我们的生产力,并允许完成更多的工作。

2024 年,也相当激烈。我们推出了几项新服务。我们提供了一个名为 D·Scribe的 Lemmy 实例,链接聚合器和讨论论坛类似于 reddit,但开源且最重要的是联合。我们还部署了 Movim 一个新的 XMPP 网络聊天,并提供了 LibreTranslate的实例。
为了进一步改进我们在 Disroot 上准备和部署更新的方式,我们设置了一个暂存服务器,它基本上是整个团队模拟我们平台的测试服务器,允许我们在更新登陆之前对其进行双重测试。
这就是我们进入 2025 年的方式。而我们又一个坎坷的一年已经过了一半。世界仍然处于紧张状态——加沙、气候、迫在眉睫的选举。但 Disroot 并没有停止。我们比以往任何时候都更有动力和决心,并将继续努力实现自由开放和道德的互联网,直到最后一个 tcp 数据包!
十年。
十年来,世界发生了变化——但并不总是变得更好。但也是十年来,有些东西团结在一起,重塑了自己,并得到了一致和谨慎的捍卫。Disroot 并不完美。它不会试图成为。但这是必要的奇怪之处之一:一个自下而上构建的网络,非营利性,无所有者,无算法。在当今世界,这就是一些东西。
我们祝您一切顺利,我们很高兴您决定信任我们并使用我们的平台。我们的存在多亏了你!
最后但并非最不重要的一点是,我们要特别感谢所有 FLOSS 开发人员。多亏了您,我们才能在互联网上享受自由。你们才是真正的英雄,我们只是拿着扳手的猴子!我们祝您一切顺利!

英文原文:
When Disroot began to take shape back in 2015, the world seemed to be heading in a different direction. People were talking about climate agreements, building alternatives... and riding that same wave — almost as a necessary reaction — Disroot was born: our modest but determined attempt to offer digital tools that do not sell our privacy, freedom and choice to the highest bidder. Now 10 years in and looks like the world has gone on the downward spiral. Privacy seems to be a term of the past. Sponsored content, digital exhibitionism and glorification of fame is the new standard. Short content format has taken over the world. AI slop is slowly taking over the internet. While all this is happening, there is still hope. There are still ton of people working endlessly to create another horizon of possibilities, coding, testing and hosting alternatives that tries to distant itself from the corporate internet most of the world uses on daily basis. We are happy to be a part of that movement and would like to celebrate with all of you briefly reviewing some of the most important milestones on this journey that began ten years ago.
In 2016, things got more intense. While the UK voted to leave the EU and Trump was getting ready to enter the White House, we took a key step toward real independence. To become trully independent and make a step towards self-sustainability we have decided to run Disroot off of our own hardware. Throughout the year we have been working out basics like ToS, website content as well as setting up infrastructure and adding more and more services to the platform. We also migrated from OwnCloud to Nextcloud, doubling down on free software. In a world closing in on itself, the project was opening doors.
The following year, 2017, the whole world seemed to be having a nervous breakdown — scandals, protests, the #MeToo movement shaking dusty old structures. Meanwhile, Disroot experienced its first major wave of new users — thanks to the openmailbox-gate — and responded with growth: a new website, the launch of the Howtos and guides site, and perhaps most importantly, becoming a formal foundation. Amid global chaos, the project was digging in for the long haul.
2018 wasn't any calmer. Devastating wildfires, massive protests, and still, from a quiet corner of the internet, Disroot kept building: Adding extra new servers, shutting down our Matrix instance (a tough but necessary and correct decision), and the birth of the Disroot app, thanks to contribution from one of our disrooters, Massimiliano. It was a year to plant roots.
In 2019, while Notre-Dame burned and millions marched for the climate, the project took a more political turn. It began donating to FLOSS projects, finally published the Mission Statement, and welcomed two key people to the core team: Fede and Meaz. Disroot was no longer just infrastructure — it was a community with a voice.
Then came 2020. What can we say? The pandemic exposed everything. While governments scrambled and Big Tech platforms became ubiquitous, Disroot— like many other grassroots initiatives — became a refuge. We shut down our Diaspora* instance, launched the COVID19 kit, and began working on encrypted email storage. Protecting the word, when everything else was noise.
In 2021, between vaccines, military withdrawals, and a world trying to rebuild itself, Disroot welcomed avg_joe to the core team; Muppeth left his "normal" day job to fully dedicate himself to the project. FE.Disroot (replacement to closed Diaspora) became fully integrated into the Fediverse, and our email encryption project Lacre received funding from NLNET. Disroot wasn't just reacting anymore — it was building proactively.
2022 was marked by the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an energy crisis, and the fear of backsliding. And yet, within that climate, Disroot kept refining its ecosystem. We have invested big chunk of donations we have recieved throught the years into brand new servers. We switched webmail software to Roundcube, and have done the first real tests of Lacre (mailbox encryption) on Disroot.org infrastructure. Like someone quietly preparing for the long term.
In 2023, while generative AIs flooded the headlines and public imagination, our project made a small but significant move: we migrated from Gitea to Forgejo, the community-driven fork. Because it's not enough for code to be open — it matters who's behind it. Although seeming like less busy year for Disroot, we have focused a lot on internals. Redefining the way we organize our work, but also working on improvements of the infrastructure implementing automations. It is also a turning point year where Meaz has joined Muppeth in system-administration tasks. No longer we struggle with single point of failure and this addition has boosted our productivty and allowed for more work to be done.
2024, was also pretty intense. We launched several new services. We have provided a Lemmy instance called D·Scribe, link-aggragator and discussion forum similar to reddit, but open source and most importantly federated. We have also deployed Movim a new XMPP webchat, and provided instance of LibreTranslate.
To further improve the way we prepare and deploy updates on Disroot we have setup a staging server which is basically a test server for the entire team emulating our platform, allowing us to double test the updates before they land on it.
That's how we got to 2025. And we are already halfway through another bumpy year. The world remains on edge — Gaza, the climate, looming elections. But Disroot hasn't stopped. We are more motivated and determined then ever before and will continue to strive for free-open and ethical internet until the last tcp packet!
Ten years.
Ten years in which the world changed — and not always for the better. But also ten years in which something held together, reinvented itself, and was defended with consistency and care. Disroot isn't perfect. It doesn't try to be. But it is one of those necessary oddities: a network built from the bottom up, non-profit, ownerless, algorithm-free. And in today's world, that's something.
We wish you all the best and we are greatful you decided to trust us and use our platform. We exist thanks to you!
Last but not least, we would like to give special thanks to all the FLOSS developers. It is thanks to you we can enjoy the freedom on the internet. You are the real heroes, we are just monkeys with a wrench! We wish you all the best!
