Why I gave the world wide web away for free, Tim Berners-Lee
"I gave the world wide web away for free because I thought that it would only work if it worked for everyone. Today, I believe that to be truer than ever. Regulation and global governance are technically feasible, but reliant on political willpower. If we are able to muster it, we have the chance to restore the web as a tool for collaboration, creativity and compassion across cultural borders. We can re-empower individuals, and take the web back. It’s not too late."

Another opportunity for a platform cooperative...
"Menulog said New Zealand represents a small part of its business, and this small size was insufficient to maintain a healthy business in the market.
Its website and app will no longer be operational from the 16 May."

Part of the anxiety over #Threads/ #Meta is a feeling of lack of possible ownership - that unaccountable admins will defederate and there’s nothing you can do about it.
We don’t have to live that way! User-owned, democratically managed instances exist (the #PlatformCooperative model).We don’t have to be helpless content generators if we #SeizeTheMeansOfCommunity.

There was an organization offering free schedules / meetings about starting (platform) cooperatives here, in the past 6 weeks or so. Can anybody help me remember the group, or point me to it?
I think they were UK based?

I wish there was a streaming service run by a platform cooperative, featuring lots of CC-licensed video works, and sharing the proceeds with creators. I would pay a monthly membership for that. -

What would help at this point is indications of interest.
* Would you or your organisation pay a cooperative to host a Mastodon server? Do you know of anyone else who might?
* Would you pay a premium to have it hosted onshore in Aotearoa (which will cost us significantly more at this stage)?
* Would you or your organisation pay a cooperative for training and support so you can self-host or community-host your own servers?

A non-profit cooperative will likely #depend on #donation|s.
It thus runs risk to align itself to the interests of #donor|s who give large amounts of #money, rather than to the interests of the #coop members.
›Should a #cooperative operating #Fediverse #instance|s be #NonProfit or #ForProfit?‹

@JohanEmpa @filipesm @darnell @bullivant
(3/3) It's worth to have a look at the #GuidanceNotes on the #CooperativePrinciples, edited by the #InternationalCooperativeAlliance (#ICA), to get a better understanding of #cooperative #values.
The notes are avaible in #EN, #ES, #FR, #HR, #KO and #GR from this page:
→ https://www.ica.coop/en/media/library/research-and-reviews/guidance-notes-cooperative-principles
It think that the concepts of the #Fediverse & the concepts of #cooperatives match superbly and in obvious ways.
