@ntnsndr @GuerillaOntologist because I feel like I am trusting the coop to use my donation to help pay for the server and help support the work people put into maintaining it as a social media space. Similarly I trust that people follow the bylaws as part of the operation of the coop as best they can. These seem to be trust-full, but perhaps I'm just not getting what is meant by trust-less? Or maybe it's not a good term to be using in serious conversation? :-)
