   @boris So, I think @thisismissem is looking more for a group of otherwise independent organisations. On the fediverse, the typical mapping is 1 server = 1 organisation; #CoSocial and a few others are exceptions there, although that will probably change. That said, I know that the cooperative model is used in other ways than how we do it; like for independent farms that collaborate to sell milk, for example.

     @thisismissem technically that’s a formal structure. But it may in fact be helpful in some cases for orgs to have formal structures like membership shares in a co-op.

     I don’t actually think that’s going to happen other than in niche areas but it very much depends on the Fediverse server model.

     A services org that specializes in hosting?

     Are there moderation as a service entities?

     There are a handful of co-ops that specialize in eg Wordpress or Drupal hosting and that’s about it.

     @boris yeah, I guess co-op could work?

     @thisismissem a co-op ;)

     I don’t know that this needs to or should be labeled.

     I totally understand that technically one might want to describe something.

     But do we have labels for “working together” or other relationships, aka “it’s complicated” ;)
