Welcome to Adabida

You have arrived at a space for reflection, where every life matters and every memory has value.

Adabida is a place where time is not rushed, where people matter more than clicks, and where every shared testimony helps dignify the lives of those who lived it and those who read it.

Your memory, your perspective, and your experience are part of history. Share them.

Basic rules of coexistence

To preserve this space of respect and rigor, we ask that you keep the following fundamental rules in mind:

Respect and truthfulness: Testimonies must be truthful and respectful. Adabida is a historical archive, not a space for partisan political opinions or misinformation.
Human dignity: Offensive content, hate speech, or any content that undermines the dignity of any person or group is not allowed.
Personal data protection: Do not share sensitive personal data (ID numbers, addresses, phone numbers) of third parties without their explicit consent.
Intellectual property: The testimonies you upload are yours. By sharing them on Adabida, you agree that they become part of a public archive for educational and historical preservation purposes.
Audiovisual content: Images, audio, and videos must be your own or you must have the necessary rights to share them.
Constructive language: In collaborative spaces (forums, future comments), always maintain a respectful and constructive tone.

Remember: Verified users (🟢) have additional responsibilities in content moderation. The community is key to maintaining the quality of the archive.

First steps on Adabida

Start your journey:

Complete your profile: Add a photo, a short biography, and your flag. This helps contextualize your testimonies.
Create your first entry: It can be a text, an audio recording, or a video. Share a lived experience, an important memory, or a moment you consider meaningful.

Tips for a good testimony:

Be specific: date, place, and context help situate your account.
Be honest: your personal perspective is valid; it does not need to be "objective".
Be respectful: even when speaking about difficult experiences, avoid offensive language.
Think about the future: your memories may become primary sources for researchers fifty years from now.
