dawn@cosocial.ca presenting an interesting history of how coop@cosocial.ca came to be.

I love how both we have representation from both CoSocial.ca and SocialBC!

@julian @dawn @coop So I'm curious, does anybody talk about truth.social at the fedicon?

@julian

dawn@cosocial.ca makes the point that it’s important that cosocial members buy at least the share into the coop so as to have a stake in the coop itself.

It’s more of a commitment than just filling in a form.

johannab@cosocial.ca on Digital Third Spaces!

Back in the day forums were that digital third space. Social media took that over and they’ve dropped the ball.

Let’s bring them back (with more forums obviously)

Someone’s got Mastodon open on their device with sound on and it keeps dinging, and I’m having a Pavlovian urge to check my phone.

I don’t even use the Mastodon web app wth

@julian Same, over and over

Analog or digital, humans are the glue that holds together third spaces.

johannab@cosocial.ca making the assertion that fedi can make a better third space (digitally)

@julian I hadn’t noticed the sound at all until I read this post, now I can’t stop hearing the ding too hahaha

reiver@mastodon.social with a surprise demo of CrowdBucks! A new way to help fund the fediverse.

@julian Is it the ice cubes app ding? I made that one 🤭
