   Kind of want to start a software coop with the aim of making tools to facilitate library economies (sharing of tools, community land management, recycling and repurposing, etc.) explicitly licensed in a way that makes them as difficult as possible for for-profit entities to use.

     @jsbarretto So creating software under AGPL. Cooperative + AGPL would be a very powerful combination.

     @jsbarretto Interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. The more folks experimenting with alternative ways of doing things, the better :)

     @aral I think AGPL is at least one step forward, yes: although I don't think it's sufficient by itself.

     My dream would be a whole all-in-one ecosystem for community organising, keeping track of who has borrowed/shared what, who has which services available, all with fediverse integration. Not simply a social media network, but a digital noticeboard intended to encourage people to collaborate and share.
