Petition Text:

To: The Executive Board of MediaLab AI, Silicon Valley Venture Capitalists, and Digital Safety Regulatory Bodies.

We, the undersigned—a global coalition of digital creators, community moderators, artists, writers, and cultural enthusiasts—hereby submit this formal manifesto to demand the immediate reconsideration of the decommission of Amino Apps and to propose a comprehensive restructuring of its operational model.

As of December 2025, the cessation of Amino’s services has left a void in the digital landscape that no other social media platform can fill. Amino was not merely an application; it was a sophisticated ecosystem of "communities within communities" that fostered deep niche engagement, creative writing (Roleplay), and intellectual exchange for over a decade.

I. THE PRESERVATION OF DIGITAL HERITAGE

The sudden termination of Amino’s servers threatens the permanent loss of an immense archive of human creativity. Millions of original stories, world-building wikis, and unique artworks reside within its databases. To allow this data to be erased without providing users with a robust, official export tool is a violation of the digital legacy of an entire generation.

II. THE NECESSITY OF REFORM: ADDRESSING SAFETY AND AGE APPROPRIATENESS

We acknowledge that the platform faced significant challenges regarding moderation, particularly concerning the user base's age demographic. Any petition for Amino's return must include a commitment to a rigorous overhaul of safety protocols and a clear age requirement.

Enhanced Moderation Systems: Implementing advanced moderation tools and a dedicated tpeam to ensure a safe and compliant environment.

Clear Age Guidelines: Establishing and enforcing a minimum age requirement to align with regulatory standards and promote a more mature user experience.

III. PATHWAYS TO SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC VIABILITY AND ACQUISITION

The community believes that Amino’s challenges were not due to a lack of user engagement, but rather the absence of a modern, sustainable financial model. We propose:

Revitalized Monetization Strategies: Exploring new subscription models and features that provide value to users and contribute to the platform's financial health.

Consideration for Acquisition: If MediaLab AI is no longer committed to operating Amino, we formally request the exploration of options for a third-party acquisition by an entity or consortium capable of investing in and revitalizing the platform.

IV. KEY REQUESTS:

Temporary Access: Providing temporary access to the platform to allow users to preserve their content and connect with their communities.

Data Export Functionality: Implementing a reliable tool for users to download and archive their intellectual property and creative works.

Engagement and Dialogue: Initiating an open and transparent dialogue with the global user base to discuss potential pathways for the future of Amino.

The Amino community is a testament to the power of niche online spaces. The loyalty and dedication of its users represent a valuable asset. We urge MediaLab AI to consider the cultural significance and potential for revitalization of this platform and to engage with the community that cherishes it.

Preserve digital culture. Empower communities. Revitalize Amino.
