If any new followers who are participating in the longest thread ever on slightly experimenting with software funding and ownership are interested, I help run a Canadian co-op that is member owned and hosts a Mastodon server, CoSocial https://blog.cosocial.ca
This server I host along with some other apps on a system I call the #CommonsComputer
It’s powered by #Cloudron, for which I pay a subscription in exchange for maintaining and updating both the server & all the apps that I deploy.
