Modpol enables online communities to design their own governance structures by assembling modules—choosing from existing ones or creating your own.

Developers: Adapt our code to your platform
Modpol is written in Lua, and it can be adapted to any platform that uses Lua as an extension language.

Modpol implements a framework called "modular politics," a vision for creative, evolutionary systems for online self-governance. It challenges the widespread the tendency for "implicit feudalism," the top-down power structures that are the norm in online spaces.
