A terminal community for people who think before they post.
We are tired of social media.
We are tired of algorithms deciding what we think.
We are tired of ads dressed as content and content designed as ads.
We are tired of the refresh, the notification, the streak, the like.
We are tired of conversations that last three minutes and mean nothing.
We think.
We evaluate.
We change our minds slowly and for good reasons.
We write things down. We read things carefully.
We have a voice that beats to its own drum.
We are not anti-technology. We built this server.
We are anti-capture. Anti-manipulation. Anti-noise.
We are the holdouts.

Offgrid Holdout is a small, deliberate community that lives in the terminal. We discuss ideas, maintain commonplace files, share writing, and dig into questions worth digging into — slowly, on our own terms.
The community runs over SSH and Gemini. There is no app, no algorithm, no feed.
Access is by application. Not because we're exclusive, but because a community is only as good as the people in it. We read every application ourselves.
SSH into the community:
ssh -p 2222 username@offgridholdout.org
To avoid typing the port, add this to ~/.ssh/config:
Host offgridholdout.org
Port 2222
To join, you need an SSH key pair and an approved application.
