I just migrated my mastodon account to cosocial.ca. Happy to be here at a smaller, more focused instance.

#cosocial

New instance = a good time for an #introduction.

Hi everyone, happy to be joining the #cosocial community.

I'm a lifelong nerd, introvert, and over-privileged settler. I've been hanging out in the North since 2007.

I enjoy helping make things that work for people.

Indoors, I'm interested in the independent web and boring technology.

Outdoors, I enjoy camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, canoeing and mountain biking.

Unlikely to post much, but often lurking, occasionally boosting.

#CoSocial is a community service coop (a form of non-profit cooperative), but I've previously incorporated and been a member of a worker coop.

Hi #CoSocial ... meeting tonight..4pm PT / 7pm PT (do we have members joining in other timezones?)
... link below to Zoom

The #cosocial board of directors has voted not to block Meta's new project Threads (also known as #p92 ).

While I think that not blocking Threads is unambiguously a bad thing, I am happy with the process by which this decision was come to. CoSocial put out a request for comments from it's audience (under the #CoSocialMeta ) tag, and the decision truly does match the (quite overwhelming) consensus of sentiment under that tag.

@jeanh Also, welcome to #CoSocial!

Never got around to my #introduction post, so copying from my profile.

Am a curious person at heart.

Building things with a #human-centred #design lens (aka #ux). Gathering #ideas #stories and #data while keeping a #criticalcultural perspective (aka #diversity #dei #race)

Atm between #yvr and #yow thinking about Canadian digital spaces at #cosocial

Too late....

What is #CoSocial exactly?

This should help understand why #Twitter hasn't gone down... yet.

#cosocial looks promising, plus @evan is involved and that's good enough reason to pay attention. Signed up.

@evan let's build #cosocial instances in every country and maintain them collaboratively. What do you think ?
