# Fediversity
## Introduction
Fediversity is an effort to bring easy-to-use, budget-conscious hosted
cloud services to individuals and institutions. We belief that digital
autonomy is of paramount importance for our ability to innovate and
adapt in a continuously changing world.
Our digital autonomy has been severely hampered by the dependence on
multinational 'hi-tech' conglomerates commonly know as Bigtech. Their
insidious business models and practices have stifled competition, led to
price gouging in certain markets and concerns about the misuse of
private data. It even goes as far as influencing elections and
undermining our democracies.
We need to free ourselves, our institutions, our companies, our
societies and our economies from the claws of Bigtech. We need to regain
our digital autonomy and with it, our ability to innovate and adapt.
With Fediversity, we want to contribute to this by offering you the
means to free yourselves from the shackles of Bigtech.
## Our offer
Built upon the solid foundations of NixOS we offer blueprints to
'automagically' create, configure and maintain a set of interoperable
open-source software application services. Using these blueprints,
individuals and service provider organisations are able to quickly offer
a compelling set of alternative services to the more well-known Bigtech
platform services.
By virtue of the use of open standards, it is even possible to connect
our open-source based services with certain Bigtech offerings. Bringing
you the best of both worlds. It also provides you with the possibility
for bespoke solid substitutes and a tiered exit strategy to make a
deliberate decision to move away from Bigtech whenever you want.
## Fediversity partners & funding
The Fediversity project consist of four partners: the Open Internet
Discourse Foundation (OID), NLNet, Nordunet & Tweag. Fediversity is
funded by the European Commission's Next Generation Internet
initiative.
