No pity, no hierarchy, no othering
Dignity is the foundation of the Love Economy. Every design decision, every interaction, every word we use is filtered through this lens: does this uphold the dignity of all participants? We reject the charity model that creates dependency. Instead, we build systems where everyone participates as equals, where every person's contribution is recognized and valued.
