At the amazing #platformcoop conference in India and musing about distaste at 'posting' on X. Checked my email and @bsky.app invite code had landed. It's a sign!

It was great to participate in this event on #Platformcoop & #fairwork. It was lovely to connect with new and old faces and discuss very concrete aspects of platform work. Thanks to @oii.ox.ac.uk for hosting us and @stefanotortorici.bsky.social for bringing us together.

Subscription-based federated user cooperatives is ultimately the only sustainable strategy I see for getting off the VC Supported Platform >> Enshittification endless loop. #platformcoop

Listening to #platformcoop makes me feel like, after decades wandering in the desert alone, the (union) band is getting back together.

Open-source isn't enough. We need ownership, governance. If these words had hit your, give a read:

What if the apps we use were owned by the people who use them? A dive into platform cooperatives, the internet we could have, and why open source and open protocols alone aren't enough.

Well, she can fucking try. And it’s a low bar since it could not be worse than the current boneheaded management.

That's the founding common bond/affinity (it was created in parallel to the #platformcoop #BuyTwitter campaign back in 2016-17), but the conversation is pretty wide-ranging. The governance is sortition-based, with a lightly compensated moderation working group.

Una alternativa #cooperativa a #spotify o #bandcamp que està fent bons progressos.

És interessant l'estructura organitzativa a dos nivells, un aprenentatge dels primers intents fallits.

I’m building something called The Stewardry Institute of Technology and Ecology—a new kind of co-op system—for regenerative culture, decentralized tools, and shared governance.
It starts with stories, software, and a shared vision.

Happy to share this. While Kaseb is still in its early stages and faces numerous obstacles, it presents an intriguing model that merits an in-depth case study. We’ve been connected with Kaseb for years, so it’s good to give it some visibility here. #Iran #platformcoop

Hope this is coming to 🇪🇺 because we have the same issue.. Some managed to #platformcoop or unionize but most are still being exploited. The ruling will definitely impact juridical landscape over here on this regulation.
