FAQ
Sometimes what we do may not make sense. If you have questions we hope to answer them here.
Why do you not allow media uploads?
We largely don’t want to take media uploads due to the fact that Budgi is meant to exchange information. If you want to upload media, we are planning on making a couple APIs that will allow you to share files with others.
Social media is meant to share stuff about yourself, why are you making a private version?
That is a fair assessment. Many people do use social media to share parts about their lives with the world.
However, some people also rely on social media to help advocate or get help for people in harms way.
Budgi wants to provide a safe haven for people who are in situations where anonymity is required for personal and public safety.
Are governments able to request and decrypt my information?
Yes. Will it be useful? Probably not.
We encrypt on both the client-side and server-side levels which means that your data will be harder to crack and sift through for government agencies.
Why the fuck are you charging for an account here?
Largely because we don’t want you to sign up yet. Partially because we want to deal with server costs and improve our hardware, and finally to block spammers from using the service.
How do I get my account unlocked?
You can ask an admin to unlock your account or can pay for your account to be unlocked by donating to our servers maintenance wallet.
Privacy is important. Why deal with social media that doesn’t respect your boundaries?
