To begin with, we want everything.

Our aim is to reclaim spaces on the Internet where we can discuss and work on two levels: on the one hand, the right to and need for free communication, privacy, anonimity and access to digital resources; on the other, social projects linked to reality and struggles.

Setting up an independent server seems to us to be a good point to start and reach our goals.

We believe that communication must be free – and for free – and, therefore, universally accessible.
We try to accomplish all this by offering internet services (web sites, e-mail, mailing lists, chats, instant messaging, anonymous remailing, blogs, newsletters, and more) to either individuals and collective projects agreeing to our same aims and sharing our ideals, using our best skills and knowledges to defend users privacy.
Standing outside the commercial attitude of payed services and web spaces, we happily welcome those unresting towards cultural and media censorship, towards the globalized imaginery being prepared, packed and sold us every day.

The services we provide are not intended for (directly or indirectly) commercial activities, for use by organized religion or political parties, or, in short, by anyone who already has means and resources to spread widely its ideas, or who use the concept of representation and (explicit or implicit) delegation in its day-to-day relationships and projects.

The right to and need for privacy and anonimity must be respected.

We guarantee that we keep no logs, that we won’t ask for personal data to grant access to any of our services, and that we will do everything we can to keep our anonymous remailer, anonymizer and everything else that ensures the privacy and confidentiality of your comunications running and safe.

Knowledge and resources grow through sharing. That is why we encourage the systematic, organized and completely free distribution of cultural material, self-productions and documentation, and why we fight against traditional copyright and support the adoption free and open-source software and licenses.

We called ourselves Inventati because we strive to find ways to translate in the digital world issues that are part of struggles and their organizing, overcoming the limits and constraints of reality. Ie: a plenum can be made permanent and continuous through the use of a mailing list.

We called ourselves Autistici, instead, for the passion we have for understanding the technical tools and for exposing the politics implicit in the digital world; even if software is created in a virtual world it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a political impact on reality.
Starting from the technical tools we use we came to develop a clear array of political stances, crucial to both cyber and material world and lives: privacy, anonimity, free sharing of knowledge just to mention a few.

We believe that media and communication should not be the exclusive domain of information professionals. We believe in the value of self-management: this is why we have no sponsors or funding of any kind, apart from voluntary subscriptions by those who believe that our project is important and must survive. None of us earns a cent from this project (in fact, quite the opposite).

We share collectively any decision about technical and political aspects of our servers and projects. We discuss everything through the use of mailing lists, so that all of our debates and process is available and accessible to any single person participating in the collective.
We have no coordinator, and no spokesperson, and decisions are not reached by voting.
