ez2bg / nicelist seeding · public audits pending

The Nice List.
And the Naughty one.

A community-curated registry of humane software — and a list of software that structurally fails the same audit. Both gated by the ez2bg-policy enshittification bar. Most "alternatives to" lists are SEO chum; this one earns its entries.

How it earns. Every listing carries a per-vector audit (10 vectors from the policy taxonomy), a follow-the-money profit-mechanism chain, an ownership block, and a score against the shared bar. Naughty entries survive a 30-day maintainer-notify window before going public — naming, not brigading. The audit speaks; we don't.

What's here.

four sections
Registry seeding
The Nice List
Software that passes the ez2bg-policy audit at grade A or B, phase 1. Every entry names per-vector scores, the ownership structure that backs them, and the interop badges earned. Currently empty on this instance — first audits land as ez2bg-policy graduates its first cohort.

Registry seeding
The Naughty List
Grade F, phase ≥ 2, past the 30-day maintainer-notify window. Ten candidates from the MCP-registry sweep are already staged in intake/ — they enter this list only after the audit gate. Pending entries stay private until the window closes.

The MCP Registry, Examined.
14,323 MCP servers scored on humaneness and lock-in mechanics. Full ecosystem census from the ez2bg/allies sweep on 2026-07-09. Filterable, downloadable. Every scoring rule inherits from the same enshittification taxonomy as the lists above.

Embed widgets.
Any aligned app pulls audit data with one script tag and a placeholder. Grade chip, vector callout, us-vs-them diff, comparison card with ownership row, screen banner, "why" widget. The audit is the marketing; we don't write the copy.

How it works.

audit-gated
1.
The community nominates.
Any signed-in ez2bg user files a nomination. Payload names the tool, the category, the public URL, and the pitch — the case for why this belongs on either list. No rubber-stamps, no astroturf. Nominations are pre-audit.
2.
ez2bg-policy audits.
The audit scores 10 vectors — data hostage, attention capture, rent-seeking, surveillance, bait-switch, moat-building, adversarial interop, algorithmic manipulation, artificial friction, regulatory capture. A separate ownership audit records the corporate form and funding model. Both are cited.
3.
Ingest reconciles.
Grade A/B, phase 1 → Nice List. Grade F, phase ≥ 2 → NAUGHTY_PENDING with the 30-day maintainer-notify window running. Recovery moves entries to Retired, not silently back to Nice. Falling off the list is as important as getting on it.
Know something that belongs here?
Nominate a tool — for either list. Sign-in required. Pitches that meet the honesty bar move to audit; the rest get a public reason. See the source for the intake schema.
