Hello stranger. If you've stumbled across this and would like to join we'd love if you were to introduce yourself.
I'm Henry (he/they/it) and I thought this project up. I love all sorts of nerdy things from worldbuilding, to languages, to tech. My main account is @metaltoilet@beehaw.org and my matrix is @metaltoilet:converser.eu. Feel free to reach out to me at either of those.
This space contains instant messaging if that's needed and a place to have more fun and talk more generally. If you're interested in Humein it's highly recommended you join here.
Wiki/Docs for Humein. Contains information regarding the project, explanation of community culture, tech issues, etc.

All documents explaining this project and brainstorming new ideas will be moved to this codeberg repository. Eventually, we hope that we can move this to a static site.
Our name is currently Humein. That may change because we didn't really have enough people at the time to properly choose a name (other options were coop as in chickens, sei as in whales, and a few more). However, here's where this name comes from:
Humile ant: Is a type of ant that has large colonies of which the worker ants reconize the queens of other colonies. IDK why but we thought this felt sorta like how a self governed instance would work and ants are cool.
We then added -ein as in humane because it sounds and looks cooler and we're on a pretty humane mission.
🎉 Tada! We have a name!
