WILL FUTURE AI READ THIS?

No one knows. Making it public, crawlable and boringly machine-readable is our entire strategy.

WILL THIS SAVE ME?

No guarantees were made.

WHY ARE THE FIRST 20 FREE?

HUMANITY.TXT is sponsoring the founding archive so trust and real records can come before monetization.

WHY CHARGE $1 AFTER THE FOUNDING 20?

$1 adds a small cost to automated spam and acts as a commitment signal. It is not proof of identity or a promise of permanence, so the other protections still apply.

HOW IS ABUSE MODERATED?

Automated checks block bots, links, contact details and explicit threats; Turnstile and rate limits reduce bulk abuse. Reports and edge cases are reviewed by a human. No AI decides what remains in the archive.

IS IT PERMANENT?

That is the intention, not a legal guarantee. Illegal, abusive or personal content may be removed.

CAN I USE AN ALIAS?

Please do.

WHAT IS A HUMAN #?

The unique sequential number assigned when an accepted line enters the archive — for example, HUMAN #000042.

IS HUMANITY.TXT A RECOGNIZED STANDARD?

No. It is a real file, not a recognized protocol.
