+Why?
-The Decentrala was created by a small group of enthusiasts gathered about the idea of technological decentralization. In the last year and a half, we organized more than 160 events: lectures, workshops, discussions, hackathons... with which we tried to democratize technological knowledge and educate people about privacy, open source, right to repair (and how to repair), digital assets, usage rights... Since day zero, we never wanted to force opinions on individuals, instead, we wanted to give them a chance to be informed of alternatives and make a choice for themselves.
+Decentrala was founded by a small group of enthusiasts united by the idea of technological decentralization. Over the past year and a half, we've organized over 160 events—lectures, workshops, discussions, hackathons—aimed at democratizing technological knowledge and educating people about privacy, open source principles, the right to repair (and how to repair), digital assets, and usage rights. Since day one, our approach has been to inform individuals about alternatives rather than impose opinions upon them.
-We had the pleasure to chat with many visitors, many of them with backgrounds unrelated to technology. In our events and discussions with these interesting people, we realised that the idea of decentralization is much bigger than just "open technology". Many of today's activists and their organizations are fighting for some kind of decentralization. Therefore, we would like to hear stories about decentralization from different perspectives.
+Through engaging with diverse visitors, many from non-technical backgrounds, we've come to realize that decentralization encompasses more than just "open technology." Many activists and organizations today advocate for various forms of decentralization. Therefore, we welcome stories about decentralization from diverse perspectives.
