[Social.coop] is is an experiment in user-controlled social media. It
|
|
|
is a community hub for people interested in co-ops and development of
|
|
|
free/libre social media - these define the common core field of
|
|
|
discussion, though they are far from the only things discussed.

|

- Our Open Collective page https://opencollective.com/socialcoop

We primarily run a [Mastodon] social media server: one node in the
|
|
|
[Fediverse], a federated network of social media applications which
|
|
|
communicate using the [Activity Pub] and [OStatus] protocols.

# Why?
|
|
|
|
|
|
What distinguishes us from most other social media there is that we
|
|
|
are both funded and governed by our members: we are a
|
|
|
co-operative. The organisation and running of the site is accountable
|
|
|
to its members, and not only will we not be monetising our users by
|
|
|
selling their data to third parties, but they get a say in what we do.
