#opencoop — Public Fediverse posts

@asimong @aadilayub true. I had an interesting chat with Oli from #OpenCoop and Harry from #CoTech that got me thinking about how much of our collective wealth gets extracted through the most old-fashioned rent-seekers; building owners. Imagine if we could pool common wealth to buy buildings, and have a cooperative rent them out at-cost, plus a modest mark-up that contributes to a pool to buy the next building.

“If you want a world that isn’t run by very large, rich corporations, you may not want them hosting your data.” Wise words from @webarchcoop @outlandish @casacowork @_Happy_Dev_ @minds in today’s Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/business/don-t-want-to-give-google-your-data-time-to-co-operate-h5rrtn0jj #opencoop

The impulse toward ever more decentralizing infrastructure come with the danger of enabling ever more impenetrable clusters of power. #opencoop

At #opencoop I keep thinking of @JulietSchor's evidence at the first #platformcoop conf that values-based sharing platforms can be more discriminatory and exclusive than corporate monopolies.

#opencoop friends, with all this talk of decentralization, some of you might be interested in this draft I'm working on about why it never seems to persist. I'd be grateful for any feedback: https://share.mayfirst.org/s/PqscGDDicwpZ34Z
