I let it pass by last week without comment, but Dec 10 2024 was my second anniversary as a #CoSocialist. I am so proud of being a part of this collaborative, sustainable community on the social web. I think cooperatives are a great model for creating and maintaining digital infrastructure, and I'm glad that cosocial.ca is thriving and growing.
If you are in Canada and want to be part of a democratic, sustainably-run social media cooperative, please sign up at https://cosocial.ca/ . You can have an account in minutes, and start participating in running a social networking service.
If you aren't in Canada, first, my sympathies. Second, there are great cooperative options in other countries, like https://data.coop/ in Denmark. https://social.coop/ has worldwide coverage.
If neither of those work for you, I *highly* recommend that you consider creating a cooperative or converting your current server to a cooperative model. It's a great move.
