#principle6 — Public Fediverse posts

Looking forward to meeting some of our friends from @mirlo for the first time in person next week. We'll be talking about how to work together and learning more about other music co-op projects here in London.

#cooperatives #principle6

The challenge is scaling these niche innovations in a way that disrupts existing regimes, without being co-opted by them and/or compromising core values.

I like the concept of #IntegrativeScaling Peter Utting writes about here, which I see as related to socio-technical systems transitions and cooperative #Principle6

The Challenge of Scaling Up Social and #SolidarityEconomy

Just a heads up to anyone finding or following me here:

I'm mostly hanging out at social.coop these days, @jeff

Our cooperatively "owned" and managed #Mastodon instance is just one way we interact with each other and the wider #fediverse

We also provide additional services, often by cooperating with other #cooperatives who share our goals and values (practicing cooperative #Principle6).

Learn more about our community, tools, and services at:

This looks like a great new publication, edited by Elias Crim. It offers an ecosystem perspective of the Social and #SolidarityEconomy, and the importance of things like cooperation among cooperatives (#Principle6)

#coop fact of the day!

#coops often see a decline in member engagement as the number of members grows. It's not inevitable. The opposite can also happen.

More votes were cast in the last
S-Group election than in the local elections of the 2nd biggest city in Finland!

Will be standing in the 2020 S-Group elections, campaigning for more #principle6.
