The purpose of Openbook is to create a platform that can channel the collective voice of humanity, shielded by anonymity, and propagated through multiplicity and decentralization, to allow an ongoing unstoppable flow of truth.

Of course, this truth will always come along with the lies, the lulz, the trolls, and the psy-ops of the dark forces, but this is the mission of Openbook: to #keepthep0rtalsopen_💬, and maintain the openness that the Internet originally introduced to humanity before "skynet" started to funnel humanity into the mind prison upheld by the combination of identity-driven social media and government-sponsored totalitarian surveillance programs.

Openbook allows us to collectively organize information in a more meaningful way than we could on a more mainstream social media platform, if only because there's fewer people on it. And the type of people Openbook attracts will care more about the message than the messenger, and more about truth than fame, since there's no usernames. But also because of how we use hashtags wisely and sparingly, and because every hashtag has it's own wiki article defining what it really means and how to use it.

This means we're helping build a collective base of knowledge, and culture, where it is easy to find what you're looking for, and easy to inspire and encourage each other to take constructive actions to make the world a better place.

This is presumably the initial release video for Openbook.

It's literally the very first post ever posted on Openbook. It clearly states that the first line of tags following the content of the post should be 2 to 3 tags describing the post, starting from the broadest topic to the most specific subject. This is like our "Dewey Decimal System" on Openbook. This is how we categorize information, so that Openbook can be a useful tool, an accessible bank of knowledge that's easily navigated so that we can all use it to learn from each other efficiently. We take the extra time to check what tags are already listed on the "Search" page so we can see if there are pre-existing tags which are suitable to use. We do this to avoid lots of useless tags that all mean the same thing, or mean nothing at all. We try to have one tag for each meaning, so try not to create new tags unless there's no way to describe your post with existing tags.

So please, against all odds, please struggle to describe your post succinctly with three increasingly specific tags, no more, on the first line of tags after the post's content. This makes it easy for all of us to see what the content of a post is about, at a glance, so we don't waste each other's time. If you need to tag it with more than the three tags, just put those tags on a separate line after the first line of tags. Or put them in the text of the post.

We use hashtags wisely on the #openbook_💬 of ~camp.

This means we use hashtags sparingly, and only when they indicate precisely what the post is about.

Do not use a new hashtag if there is an existing hashtag that you could use in it's place. You can browse pre-existing hashtags at the top of the search page. Only use a new hashtag after giving it some thought.

Keep in mind that a wiki page is automatically generated for every hashtag we use on here, so if you use a new hashtag be prepared to write the initial wiki page for it, to provide a worthwhile definition, and give the rest of us some guidance on how to use it. You can get to the wiki page by clicking the little word bubble just to the right of any hashtag.

To mention a hashtag without tagging your own post with it, use @ instead of #. This helps us stay organized by allowing us refer to a topic or operation without labeling our post as a part of the topic or operation. That way, when people search for a topic, casual mentions of the topic won't show up in the search results.

Finally, to help categorize posts for the human eye, the very last line of any post should be just 2 or 3 hashtags which most accurately describe the post, with the first hashtag being the broadest topic, and the last hashtag being the most specific to the post.

Openbook is Anonymous' answer to Facebook.

The problem was the mass surveillance.
The problem was the mass hysteria.
The problem was the algorithmic newsfeed.
The problem was that everything you said was tied to your irl identity.

The problem was the Ad Hominem Fallacy.

Openbook is our solution.
