The internet was born as a wild, open frontier—a network of networks where ideas flowed freely, code was shared, pages were linked without permission, and anyone could build on what came before. But over time, it has become walled gardens, algorithmic feeds, and corporate silos. Content is locked behind paywalls, algorithms, and terms of service that forbid transformation. Creativity is stifled by fear of takedowns, lawsuits, and shadowbans.

It's time to reclaim the read-write-remix web. It's time to fork the future.

We declare:

The past always fuels the future. Every innovation builds on what came before. From hypertext to memes, from open-source code to viral videos—nothing is truly original. Creation is combination, transformation, and remix.
Copying is how humans learn and cultures evolve. We copy to understand, transform to innovate, and combine to create something greater. Restricting this process starves creativity and concentrates power in the hands of a few gatekeepers.
The internet must be read-write-remix, not read-only. Users are not mere consumers. We are creators, collaborators, and co-owners of the digital commons. Tools for forking, remixing, and sharing must be accessible to all—not just coders, but everyone.
Open beats closed. Sharing beats hoarding. Decentralized protocols, open standards, and permissive licenses liberate ideas. Proprietary platforms that trap data and forbid adaptation must be challenged, bypassed, and replaced.
Remix is resistance. In an era of surveillance capitalism and AI-trained monopolies, remixing is an act of rebellion. Mash up the feeds, glitch the algorithms, fork the apps, and build weird, wonderful alternatives.

Call to action:

The internet belongs to all of us. Let's not just browse it—let's remix it into something bolder, freer, and more human.

Let's remix the entire internet.

Signed, A builder in the open web
