Social.coop Loomio Membership

Thanks Nathan!

Sorry, I'm confused - which is the 'title' - I see different ways people have done this

I see some confusion here about the title. The original post about this (as far as I can tell) is here: https://www.loomio.org/p/TsVCy57f/instructions-for-adding-your-handle-to-your-loomio-title

The title seems to refer to your title as a member of the social.coop group in Loomio, which is separate from your name on Loomio itself. I just added a title to mine, so we'll see if it shows up here when I post.

Also, I'm a little confused about the issue. I use loomio to contribute a little money each month to social.coop, but I haven't had the bandwidth to otherwise actively participate. If you remove me as a member to (understandably) save money, would I still be able to contribute funds through loomio or not?

@Charles Stanhope you are likely contributing money via Open Collective (https://opencollective.com/socialcoop), which is a separate service from Loomio. I am not aware of a way to contribute money to social.coop via Loomio.

Hi Charles, this is an interesting phenomenon - we have several members who are not using the Mastodon instance, but participate via Loomio and support the project through Open Collective. So, we have to carefully winnow the Loomio membership to keep those folks included. This process of polling people is one way to see who on Loomio is responsive and interested in continuing to participate, whether here or on the instance or both.

I submit that anyone contributing financially to social.coop each month should not get their account removed

Exactly, that's why we are asking people to update their handles - so we can find out who wants to stay involved.

@Ana Ulin · @[email protected] You're right. Thank you for clearing up my confusion.

So, I contributed at OC when I joined as a member, and I served on a committee once upon a time.
