What is Compost.party?
It used to be one of those phones that you keep in your pocket and scroll Twitter on (back then). Then it broke and that was over. Thanks to computers being universal machines and that being kind of like magic it oddly now is a server offering free webspace to anyone who finds some use for it.
Why did you start it?
There's this idea that somehow, after decades of Moore's law, in order to do something useful with technology we have to keep digging stuff out of the ground and pile heaps of waste on top of it. I thought it could be fun to try something else instead.
Who or what inspired you?
The permacomputing community is deeply inspiring, and the feminist server manifesto was both eye opening and encouraging. And maybe just a warm thank you to everybody who uses computers for silly experiments, poetic expression or to share pictures of their garden.
