Welcome to DirectDemocracyS: Discover our alternative
Have you been invited to meet us and want to understand who we are? Here are the key points of our project:
- Who we are: We are a network of people working to improve the world through clear rules, transparency, and active participation. We are not a political party, but an organization focused on the common good.
- Our "Home": We operate exclusively on our collectively owned platforms. We choose not to operate on external social networks to remain free, neutral, independent, and secure.
- Micro-Groups: Technology isn't enough. We create physical connections across the community (in groups of up to 1,000-3,000 people) to foster collaboration between neighbors, friends, and acquaintances, breaking down the barriers of shyness and digital distance.
- Three steps to get started:
- Study: Read our https://www.directdemocracys.org/ to see if our vision aligns with yours.
- Choose: You can join us, take your time studying, or decide we're not for you. We'll always respect your choice.
- Get Involved: If you decide to join, use the link or QR code provided by your representative for priority processing and dedicated support.
- No obligation: Creating a personal profile is free and requires no attendance or forced volunteering. It's a way to verify, from the inside, that we are exactly who we describe ourselves to be.
- Constant support: You'll never be left alone. Our system is designed to educate you, assist you with technology, and make every member a protagonist.

Welcome to DirectDemocracyS
Maybe you've received an invitation from one of our official representatives, a flyer, a social media message, or an email, and you want to understand who we really are.
This is the intermediate version of our presentation, a little more detailed than the previous one: comprehensive enough to allow you to understand the basics of our system, but easier and quicker to read than our technical and detailed articles.
If after reading this you want to delve deeper into every rule, methodology, and complete explanation, you'll also find links to our more in-depth content.
Who we are
DirectDemocracyS is an innovative system based on:
- real participation;
- collaboration;
- transparency;
- clear rules;
- mutual respect;
- protection from tampering;
- responsible use of technology.
We are not a traditional political party.
We are an organized network of people who want to improve the world in a concrete, logical, and gradual way, focusing on the common good, collaboration, and individual responsibility.
Our goal is not to promise miracles, but to build a truly functional, stable, and useful system for people.
Because we operate mainly on our own platforms
We have chosen to conduct almost all of our activities on our official platforms.
The motivation is simple:
we want to remain free, independent, neutral, organized, and safe.
Our platforms are built and managed to enable:
- orderly collaboration;
- data protection;
- transparent checks;
- efficient organization;
- direct communication;
- reduction of manipulation and misinformation.
We don't prevent anyone from using other social networks or tools, but we prefer that real work be done in an environment designed specifically for our system.

An open system to study
One of our fundamental characteristics is this:
We don't ask for blind trust.
Instead, we ask you to:
- study;
- verify;
- observe;
- evaluate personally.
Much of our information content is public and can be accessed without registration.
We have hundreds of articles, explanations, audio and video content available in various languages.
If you don't speak English, you can use the automatic translation system on the site.

Your 3 options
Once you have learned about our system you always have three options:
1. Join us
If you share our goals and methodologies, you can start the journey with us.
2. Study again
Many people prefer to take a moment to investigate before making a decision.
It is an absolutely respected choice.
3. Deciding that we are not right for you
Not all people share our vision, our rules, or our method.
This choice will always be respected.
No initial obligation
Creating a free personal profile:
- does not require payments;
- does not require physical presence;
- does not impose forced volunteerism;
- does not require immediate action.
The free profile is mainly used for:
- know the system from the inside;
- participate gradually;
- understand if you can really trust us;
- concretely evaluate the functioning of our activities.
In practice:
you will be able to personally verify whether what we describe publicly is actually applied in reality.
Human support is essential
You will not be left alone.
One of the most important aspects of our system is mutual support.
Our support groups and official representatives help new users:
- to understand how the system works;
- to use the platforms;
- to participate in activities;
- to integrate gradually.
We believe that everyone should be able to participate, even without great initial technological skills.
Micro-groups: our real presence on the territory
DirectDemocracyS doesn't want to exist only online.
For this reason we organize territorial micro-groups:
- in the cities;
- in the neighborhoods;
- in rural areas;
- in local territories.
We generally prefer relatively small groups, consisting of:
- neighbors;
- friends;
- family members;
- acquaintances;
- people who live in the same area.
Why?
Why groups that are too large often:
- they isolate the shyest people;
- make participation difficult;
- they foster chaos;
- they prevent real collaborations.
Micro-groups instead allow:
- direct dialogue;
- concrete collaboration;
- mutual support;
- more efficient organization;
- greater participation by all.
Meetings can take place:
- in person;
- via video conferences;
- or in mixed mode.
The goal is to truly collaborate, not just message online.

Registration and invitations
In some cases you may receive:
- a personal link;
- a QR code;
- a direct invitation from one of our official representatives.
These systems allow:
- faster procedures;
- direct support;
- priority access;
- better organization.
This is not about discrimination.
It simply serves to:
- avoid organizational chaos;
- manage growth properly;
- welcome each new member.

Further explanations and reasons:
If you decide to study our system with an open mind, patience, and attention, you will gradually understand why many people consider DirectDemocracyS a profoundly innovative project and an alternative to traditional systems.
Have you received a flyer, email, social media, or app from one of our official representatives inviting you to study DirectDemocracyS? Curious to learn more?
Perfect, you're in the right place to get all the information you need and all the direct, hands-on support you'll ever need. Our contact management group, our group for prospective users, and many other groups are at your complete disposal. In short, you'll never be left alone.
To fully study our system, you need desire, and both you and us also need patience, goodwill, and time to spend together. But in the end, you'll surely understand our innovation, which is an alternative to everything you know, and you'll grasp our enormous potential. We have hundreds of informative articles published, visible to everyone, including our visitors. You don't have to join us to study our system; just visit our platforms and websites. This may seem strange to you; you're probably wondering: why do we do almost no activity outside of our platforms? We'll answer you right away. We like to always be free, independent, neutral, orderly, organized, and completely protected. For these reasons, we've invested time, resources, and money into building our "big house," which has all the potential needed to do great work. Our platforms are collectively owned by all our official members, and this alone explains why we do almost no activity outside of someone else's.
To determine if you're interested in, and subsequently if you like, DirectDemocracyS, you need to be open-minded and carefully read our welcome article on our official website at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/
If you don't speak English, simply click "-English-" in our translation module and select your preferred language from the drop-down menu. You'll see all the English content automatically translated. We also have content, informational articles, videos, and audio in all world languages, including many dialects. In those cases, we recommend disabling automatic translation, as it's no longer necessary for content in your language.
If you prefer to watch and listen, you can go to this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/social/videos/
Just choose the videos in your preferred language, and you will be able to listen to some important and interesting information.
You now have three options, and three choices to make, and we guarantee we will respect your decision. The first is to join us, and you will receive all the help you need. The second is to wait and study our system more thoroughly. The third, which we don't hope for, but which is still possible, is that you don't like our goals, our rules, our methodologies, our instructions, and our motivations. These will allow us to achieve all these goals, which are primarily to change and improve the world, for the common good, without discrimination.
If you're unsure, we recommend reading this informative article carefully. It may help you understand some key features so you can make an informed choice between the three options:
If you choose to join us, we'd be delighted. Simply complete the registration form, which will connect you directly to our official representative who contacted you on our behalf. Do not use the generic registration link if you've already received a unique link to the registration form, or if you've received a QR code. Scanning the QR code will take you to the unique URL for the registration form, which, once completed and submitted, will connect you directly to our official representative.
Very brief explanation.
Anyone can join us at any time using the general registration form, which is almost always available to everyone, except during certain periods when we are forced to completely block new registrations without invitations. Anyone who receives a unique link or QR code from one of our official representatives to use a registration form, which connects them directly to our representative, will enjoy numerous advantages and benefits. They will skip waiting lists and be activated with priority over those without our invitation. This isn't discrimination, but rather protection of our system and its members. The rationale is simple: to prevent the chaos created by too many people joining us at once. This method allows us to optimally accommodate new members, even if it forces us to postpone some new registrations to a later date.
For all the information and explanations, we recommend you carefully study this informative article at this link:
From the article in the previous link, we take some sentences that answer two fundamental questions.
What do you need to join us?
You'll need to choose a username according to our rules. Your username is the name we'll call you in our system. It can be a nickname, a random code, or even your real first and last name, although we recommend remaining completely anonymous, at least in your personal profile.
You will need to choose a password of at least 12 characters, with letters that do not form words, both lowercase and uppercase, non-consecutive numbers, and special characters.
That's it! You don't need anything else for your free personal profile.
What do you need to join us?
A valid, adequately protected personal email address from any email service provider. Any email address will do. It doesn't have to be a temporary email address, because after completing registration and submitting the form, you'll receive an activation link to your email address. You can click it or copy and paste it into any browser to confirm your email address.
A valid personal telephone number, to which you will receive a unique activation code, which you must send to us via email so that we can activate your personal profile.
That's it! You don't need anything else for your free personal profile.
You'll have realized that there are no special requirements to create a free personal profile, with no obligation to be present or to volunteer with us. The free profile doesn't unlock all our capabilities, but it does allow you to participate in a wide range of activities with us, and it allows you to determine, without spending money or obligations, whether you can trust us and our system. We don't ask for your complete and immediate trust, but we do ask you to verify and judge for yourself whether what we say is actually implemented as we present it. In short, you'll see that on the inside, we are exactly as we describe ourselves, and as you see us from the outside.
For some basic rules in brief, and some very useful links, you can go to this link:
We will decide the next steps together with you.
Our micro-groups.
A system like DirectDemocracyS cannot depend solely on the Internet, electricity, or technology. While we authorize, manage, document, and verify all our activities on our platforms, we, together with our official representatives, create micro-groups in urban or rural areas, with up to 1,000 inhabitants, which are our physical presence in the various territories.
But why areas with up to 1,000 inhabitants, and not larger? Because these microgroups should be made up of relatives, friends, neighbors, or simply acquaintances, or even strangers, who live nearby. From our previous experience, we've noticed that groups with too many members don't allow the various individualities to express themselves fully. With too many members, those who are shy or less tech-savvy are often left behind and unable to reach their full potential. For these reasons, while not imposing overly strict limits (no one will ban a microgroup with more than 1,000 users, as long as it doesn't exceed the limits of decency, i.e., no more than 3,000), we actually prefer to divide a microgroup of 1,000 members into various subgroups, based on the members' wishes, with different sections, categories, specific tasks, and distinct roles. DirectDemocracyS's fundamental rule is to make everyone a protagonist. Although there are no limits on the number of members at certain local, national, continental, and international levels, for other types of groups, we prefer not to exceed 3,000 members. Instead, we create a greater number of groups with similar tasks, roles, and specific characteristics, perhaps connected by human bridges (connecting members present in two or more groups), and also connected by our technological means, on our platforms.
Microgroups allow us physical connections that make our system stronger and more resilient. We don't need expensive offices and unnecessary staff; we meet on the streets, in squares, in public spaces, in parks, on the beach, and wherever our members decide. Those who struggle with technology will be supported and trained to do excellent work in person and on our platforms. Whether we decide things together, looking each other in the eye, or via video conferences (if it's raining or too cold or too hot outside), the important thing is to communicate, collaborate, and do good work, all together, for the common good. This sense of community, based on clear rules respected by all, and truly functional methodologies, with all the necessary safety measures and protection from manipulation, fake news, and traditional media (while still allowing anyone to use and consult other platforms), is the best way to make our enormous mechanism work.
We have many informative articles regarding micro-groups, at this link:

Choose the category, and if available, the subcategory (by clicking on the various titles), and then click on the titles of the various informational articles to read their entire content.
How can you join micro-groups?
Our official representative, along with all our support groups, will provide you with all the information and practical assistance, whether you want to join one of the micro-groups near you, or act as human bridges by participating in two or more micro-groups. You can even create your own micro-group after obtaining an official representative profile and participating in your new official representative training groups, reserved for all our official members. Simple explanation: our official representative will invite you to the micro-group near you, according to very detailed but also very simple implementation rules. Simply accept the invitation in the social area of our free website. You will then receive further instructions.
a. To accept full responsibility for the comment that you submit.
b. To use this function only for lawful purposes.
c. Not to post defamatory, abusive, offensive, racist, sexist, threatening, vulgar, obscene, hateful or otherwise inappropriate comments, or to post comments which will constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability.
d. Not to post or make available any material which is protected by copyright, trade mark or other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of the copyright, trade mark or any other proprietary right.
e. To evaluate for yourself the accuracy of any opinion, advice or other content.
