Social.coop Status Check!
What is social.coop? Who are it's members? How do members contribute?
In this thread we will post one question every two weeks that will help us to get to know each other as members, with the objective of using this understanding of each other, our motivations and expectations to launch the next phase of social.coop.

How do you use/participate in social.coop? Closed Thu 8 Aug 2019 4:03AM
Social.coop is an experiment in user-controlled social media. It is a community hub for people interested in co-ops and development of free/libre social media - these define the common core field of discussion, though they are far from the only things discussed. We currently run and maintain a Mastodon instance that is funded by user contributions via OpenCollective. Social.coop is governed by its users on Loomio, a governance platform developed by a worker co-op. Contributing through OpenCollective is a condition of membership.

I'm a lot of these at the same time. I included unionized co-op member even though that's still in process, and not yet official.
Nick S Fri 27 Sep 2019 1:49PM
I'm only a member of consumer coops, really, unless you include social.coop

What would make social.coop work better for you? Or are you already a social.coop evangelist? Why? (Please write responses as a comment on your 'check')

There was more co-op content from co-op practitioners doing awesome co-op stuff around the world!

Sorry, missed the deadline for this poll. Not sure what some of the options presented actually mean, so maybe not such a bad thing.
