Assume that other servers can and will fail occasionally. + * Minimum data retention. Only store the data which users actually want or need, and within apps implement the function which allows logging to be turned off. + * Respect other users right to run their own stuff and have their own policies on their own hardware. + * Remove as many intermediating organisations as possible. For example, Google tracking embedded within some Free Software apps. + * No tollbooths, rent-seeking, gatekeepers or paywalls. + * Maximize energy efficiency. No systems which fundamentally depend upon proof-of-work block solving or other compute-heavy methods. The target here is small single board computers.
