 I've now published a version of the "How to Make the Fediverse Your Own" document (a love letter from Social.coop to the fediverse) on our official wiki here: https://wiki.social.coop/How-to-make-the-fediverse-your-own.html Please share this version from now on. 7 comments
 @ntnsndr "For the move to the fediverse to truly be a step toward better social media, we need to be intentional about how we organize ourselves with it." This is it. We've had discussions on what our larger purpose is without really landing on anything, but I think you've found it. We should be like @mattcropp's work but for Mastodon instances - helping as many as possible convert to a cooperative structure through outreach, advocacy, and support. @ntnsndr @mattcropp thinking about the recent announcement of .technology shutting down due to the sole admin wanting out - this is much like the retiring business owners that Matt works with. That admin sid they wouldn't turn it over to another admin due to concenrs about the data privacy, but that wouldn't be an issue with turning it over to the users themselves as a coop   @ntnsndr @hrheingold planning to use this guidance to inform our instance. I'm still not totally clear on the pros/cons of using Open Collective vs setting up a 501c3. |
