One library, two paths. Plain-language field guides for organizers and protocol reference for builders—all in one place. Filter to your path, or read across the bridge.
Searches everything—docs and dispatches alike.
What RORBT is, and how to pick your path.
A protocol for organizing without permission—cheap to run, expensive to surveil, structurally impossible to co-opt. Not an app. Not a union. A set of rules.
One library, two audiences. How the audience filter, sections, and search work—so you can find your path fast.
The ideas the whole system rests on—Orbits, the deaf server, logs.
The atom of the whole system: 3–25 people who share a grievance and a shift. Small enough to trust, designed to split before it can calcify.
The privacy model we're building toward—a relay that routes between hashes and forgets the rest—plus an honest accounting of how far the hosted MVP still is from it today.
Tamper-evident history with hash chains and signed checkpoints. No blockchain, no token, no miners—just a record nobody can quietly rewrite.
How an Orbit talks: a live group stream, private direct messages, threads—and a record that can't be quietly rewritten. Plus an honest line on what the encryption does and doesn't do.
On-the-ground guides: start an Orbit, run a meeting, build trust.
You don't need permission, a charter, or a charismatic leader. You need a handful of people you trust and one grievance you all share. Here's the whole playbook.
A 45-minute agenda that ends with roles assigned, one action chosen, and a logged record. No Robert's Rules, no three-hour slog.
Trust is earned by vouching and showing up, not by a selfie or a resume. How new people join, the 30-day read-only window, and what the sentinel watches for.
How power rotates, how decisions get logged, how anyone gets recalled.
Three rotating roles, handed off every 30 days, recallable in 48 hours. Governance without governors—how power tracks the work instead of the person.
The Minimum Viable Organizing Structure: the one-page rule set every Orbit runs on. Five irreducible articles you can tune but never delete—the DNA that keeps a cell autonomous and hard to capture.
Every binding decision an Orbit makes runs through one path: a proposal, a window, a recorded vote. No chairs, no executives—just the membership and the math.
Protect yourself and your people. Know your rights.
Before you take that first action: what's legally protected, what metadata gives away, and how to keep an organizing drive off the boss's radar.
The everyday habits that protect a whole Orbit—compartmentalization, need-to-know, and what to do when something feels off.
Coming soonFor builders: run the relay, federate, read the threat model.
Run your own deaf server. What the relay does, what it must never do, and the operator's contract for keeping it honest.
How Orbits and relays coordinate across a constellation without a central authority—delegate mandates, message routing, and trust boundaries.
Coming soonThe adversaries RORBT is designed against—the hostile relay, the subpoena, the infiltrator, the seized device—and what each one can and can't do.
Coming soonGlossary and the protocol spec.
Every term in one place—the shared vocabulary that lets organizers and builders talk to each other without translation.
The machine-readable contract: envelope format, hash-chain log structure, checkpoint signatures, and the relay wire protocol.
Coming soonThe docs can't cover everything, and a question nobody wrote down yet is worth asking. Send it to help@rorbt.com and you'll get a real answer from a person, not a ticket number and a satisfaction survey.
Every live handle is listed on the home page — that's the only place they're guaranteed current. The accounts are rented land and we expect them to get banned; when one goes dark the replacement lands there first. If a handle you saved stops working, come back here rather than assuming we're gone.
