     @edsu Hmm. Colorado cooperative (sounds good) but no mention of FLOSS and already preparing to sell out:

     "A Corporation (the Subvert Corporation): Owned by the Subvert Co-op, which will hold the platform's intellectual property"

     "any future investor influence would be limited to the Subvert Corporation"

     To me @mirlo sounds more promising. They're still figuring out the governance but they're transparent about it:

     @Delib Sure, but then you have to decide what it is the purpose of the cooperative/object of mutual exchange. It's not possible to have meaningful "one member one vote" democracy if you have four classes of shareholders with wildly different statuses, as Subvert proposes.

     @nemobis @edsu @mirlo

     I have noticed that communities of FOSS software-developers, are attracted to worker co-ops. This makes sense, because they are workers, and do not sell code. But a co-operative of artists could have different interests. They may prefer to coopertatively buy, own or sell something else than their labour.
