On Bactaegion, nothing you write leaves your browser without your deliberate action. Annotation, peer-review, curation, DID signature — everything lives locally (IndexedDB) until you export a file and push it as a pull-request. This is the technical guarantee that no one speaks on your behalf, nor links you to your IP, nor follows you across pages.
Use the workshop gestures — annotate a sequence, paint a pocket, flag an operon, evaluate a lead. Everything is stored in your browser's IndexedDB, never transmitted. If you're not ready to contribute publicly, it's already a legitimate scientific exploration.
Export your local annotation as JSON, open a PR on the repo. A maintainer or 3 Pair Reviewers consensus validates. This is the path to make a therapeutic lead, curation, or peer-review verdict public.

Bactaegion does not host an internal forum, by architectural decision. To discuss science with other contributors:
@bactaegion@scholar.social (rolling out). Major update announcements, ~1 toot/week. No technical support, no in-depth scientific debate.
All public contributions are subject to the project's foundational documents:
