Frequently Asked Questions

Dojo is a platform built specifically for creative spaces — artists, collectives, and communities who want a home for their work that isn't built around ads or algorithmic feeds.

Think of it as your creative space's digital home — where your members' work actually reaches your community, and where the focus stays on the art.

Dojo is built differently in three key ways:

• Built for creative communities: Private club spaces, art-focused feeds, and tools for collaboration — not general social media
• No algorithms: Your posts reach your community without competing in an algorithmic feed
• No compression: Your work is shared at full quality, not compressed for storage savings

We focus on creative depth and community connection rather than follower counts and viral reach.

Yes, Dojo will be free to use. We believe creative communities shouldn't have to pay to connect — and your data will never be the product.

We're exploring sustainable business models that align with our values, so we can keep building for creatives without compromising the platform.

We're currently in development and working hard to bring Dojo to life. Join our waitlist to be among the first creative spaces to get access when we launch.

We're committed to building something that actually works for artists — not rushing to market with a product that's just another generic platform.

Privacy is built into Dojo's core architecture:

• Data minimization: We only collect what's necessary for the platform to function
• No tracking: We don't track your behavior across the web or sell your data
• Encrypted communications: Your messages and private content are encrypted
• Transparent policies: Our privacy practices are clearly explained, not hidden in complex terms

No. We don't use your personal data for targeted advertising or sell it to third parties. Your posts, messages, and activity data remain private and are used only to provide you with the social experience you've customized.

We're exploring advertising models that don't require personal data, such as contextual advertising based on general topics rather than personal profiles.

Absolutely. You have complete control over your data. You can download all your data at any time and permanently delete your account and all associated data whenever you choose.

When you delete your account, we ensure your data is completely removed from our systems within 30 days.

Dojos are your art club's dedicated home on the platform:

• Invitation-only: You control who joins — members only, or open to your broader scene
• Your club's identity: Set the tone, focus, and culture of your space
• No follower pressure: Every member sees every post — no algorithmic filtering within your community
• Every format: Share artwork, videos, audio, and text all in one place

Yes — Dojo is built for the full life of a creative community, not just posting art:

• Announcements: Keep your members in the loop on exhibitions, critiques, and meetups
• Shared spaces: Coordinate within your community without scattering across DMs and group chats
• Showcase your work: Use your Dojo as a collective portfolio for events and shows

Dojo supports the full range of creative formats — no compression, no arbitrary limits:

• Images: High-quality photos and artwork, preserved at original quality
• Videos: Process videos, time-lapses, walkthroughs, and showcases
• Audio: Voice notes, soundscapes, spoken-word, or ambient recordings
• Text: Artist statements, critiques, or longform writing
• Mixed media: Combine any formats in a single post

We're building Dojo to be accessible everywhere:

• Web: Full-featured web application
• iOS: Native iPhone and iPad apps
• Android: Native Android application
• Desktop: Desktop applications for major operating systems

We're building with decentralization principles in mind, focusing on user control and data portability. While we're launching as a centralized platform for the best user experience, we're committed to exploring decentralized technologies that enhance privacy and user control.

Our goal is to ensure you always own your data and connections, regardless of the underlying technical architecture.

We're building Dojo with reliability and scalability as core priorities:

• Robust infrastructure: Enterprise-grade hosting and redundancy
• Regular backups: Your data is continuously backed up
• Gradual rollout: Careful, phased launch to ensure stability
• Community feedback: Active listening and rapid response to issues
