💡 In simple words: Some websites take a big cut and keep all the power. WikiDeal helps people take those services back and run them together, like a shared garden instead of a private one.

What is it?
Deprivatization is the idea of reclaiming markets as commons owned and governed by their users, much as Wikipedia did for encyclopedic knowledge. WikiDeal targets extractive platforms in areas such as babysitting, transport, and housing, and works to convert them into user-governed commons rather than privately owned, fee-extracting intermediaries.
How it works on WikiDeal
WikiDeal provides the shared infrastructure, governance, and legal tools that let a community operate a service it formerly rented from a private platform. Value and decision-making shift toward the users who actually create and rely on the service. Specific transition pathways are documented progressively as the platform evolves.
