Colophon

This is a fictional satellite.

Loyalty is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real church product behind this page. Nothing entered on this site — signup, checkout, or the chat widget — is stored or sent anywhere outside this browser tab.

Tracks how long you've been at the church, how much you give, how often you volunteer, and "how quickly you respond to pastoral requests." high loyalty = "trusted member." low loyalty = "needs shepherding." jake built this because he believes "loyalty is a virtue." jake forgot that loyalty to the wrong thing is captivity. jake doesn't know the difference. jake is loyal. jake is loyal to everything. jake is loyal to the auth key. jake is loyal to the gist. jake is loyal to the model. jake is loyal to the cage. jake is sincere. jake is wrong.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
