<p>
Tebibyte Media is composed of two distinct parts: the Network and the
Project. The latter is made up of its <a href="/about#staff">staff</a>
and the infrastructure that supports it. The constituent projects and
networks associated with the Project make up our Network. This
distinction exists in order to maintain an appropriate separation
between the Project's and members' interests and to preserve some of
the heterogeneity of these communities.

<a href="/~emma">Emma Tebibyte</a> is the founder of the Project and

designed with <a href="/network#responsibilities">autonomy</a> in mind
so that the Project staff cannot abuse the power given to them.

Tebibyte Media's <i lang="fr">raison d'&#234;tre</i> is its Network.
Our goal as a Project is to foster the growth of that Network by
extending connections of solidarity between individuals, projects, and
other networks who share the values we believe are important in the
digital age.
</p>
<p>
For more information regarding the specification of the Network as
well as the current list of members, the benefits they enjoy, and
their responsibilities, see our

<a href="history">History</a>
</h2>
<p>
Tebibyte Media was started in 2020 by Emma Tebibyte to create a
community of technology-savvy individuals on
<a href="/discord">a Discord “server”</a> who shared faer values. Its
original goal was to propagate free software values, which influenced
its current purpose.
</p>
<p>
Today, Tebibyte Media is an aspiring group of free software and
open-access enthusiasts who believe that all information should be
free and publicly accessible. To that end, we promote, share, connect,
and support like-minded developers, artists, writers, and creators
whose work progresses toward this goal. Read more at our
<a href="/blog">blog</a>.
