@ntnsndr@robin@boris initial response, "oh hell no" Of all the things we could do: support framasoft, help improve activity pub, support MayFirst.coop.... etc. why Bluesky?
@Matt_Noyes@robin@boris I would love to support all those and have tried several times to initiate proposals in #Socialcoop to support cooperative tech.
Bluesky is gaining a lot of traction, and I think it is worth experimenting with how far we can take co-op control in that protocol. If nothing else to understand whether the federation they propose involves real control.
@Matt_Noyes@ntnsndr@robin it’s a genuine request if there is interest, because we know some people who are interested and setting up a new co-op is more work.
And by Bluesky, we mean #ATProtocol - running open source PDS server where user data is delegated for hosting.
I’ll add my interest: because I don’t think there is one open social protocol that will win and would like to share the experience of PDS hosting with an international group.
@boris@ntnsndr@robin Like I said, my initial response. I am skeptical about social.coop putting any of our collective resources to that purpose, but I understand that people may be interested.
@ntnsndr@robin@boris Definitely want to underscore the fact that Nathan and others have indeed pushed for Social.coop to support cooperative open source projects. The new Organizing Circle is getting itself organized but will organize a budget discussion so we can be strategic in this.
