What is Pan?Pan is a node of the
Fediverse, an ensemble independent servers/communities/nodes that communicate among each others.
Our valuesWe:
- stand strongly against Capitalism as an economic model and the egoistic Neo-Liberal mentality
- fight against Fascism and authoritarian exercises of power
- believe in the right of gender auto-determination, and we condemn any kind of gender discrimination
- support and share any effort carried out in a choral, horizontal, and collective perspective

the same values and have
some things in common.
