Journal/blog of social coop
In todays meeting we discussed having a journal/blog to document our experience. Because writing content to the blog takes effort, so we could use toots in the Mastodon instant as content. Here's 3 examples of how we could use toots as material to be posted for blog posts:
The top 5/10/20 most tooted/favourited toots of the day/week/month
- Can we easily check on what toots have had most retoots/favourites/replies?
- How to pick the toot? If someone posts on monday and other one on sunday, and the one on monday has 1 retoot more, who to pick? There should be some objective measurement in my opinion.
Interviews in social coop Mastodon instant
- Interviewing a founding member of a newly established platform cooperative, a candidate for an ongoing coop/credit union/building society election, researcher on coops, etc.
- This would also give us a way to invite people to social coop: approach a person who has just set up a new platform coop and ask that person to join social coop for an interview in our Mastodon instant that will be published in our blog.
Discussions and debates in Mastodon
- Could we organize a discussion or a debate between libertarian and socialist coop enthusiast? Or between anarchist and social democrat? People who both support cooperatives but from a different, sometimes even opposing, political leanings. This might also drive home point the point that we are welcoming to people from different political leanings.
What do you think? I could imagine that people who visit social coop once every two weeks might like to catch up on highlights of the discussion that there has been.
Should we have a blog or a journal of some sort? If so, how do we choose the content?

Hi @mattnoyes I'm glad to have met yesterday in the Reading group. I referred to the project that I seem to be adopting here in this thread starting here. Not quite ready to pick this up yet, but when I do, would like to return to you for guidance & comment, drawing on some of what we and @emido @caitlinwaddick @michelekipiel talked about. Would be glad to have an email connection for some of this but you're not mailable thro your Loomio profile. Would you mail me via mine, if you're OK to drop into 1-to-1 email at some point? Thanks. I'll welcome any input from others yesterday too :)
@christinahendricks was thinking of joining the 'editorial' project, hi Christina. You might want to see the notes I left in the reading group thread - some questions in there, about the scope and nature of social.coop.
