@coopartisans I really enjoyed sharing info about the co-op with people on here! I was so surprised by how much attention a couple of our posts got. People on the Fediverse seem to be genuinely interested in what you - we, I guess! :O - are making here.

We also, ironically, learned a lot about how to use #Etsy via help from the co-op Discord. My gosh, that site and its algorithm are a disaster. It really makes me excited for the co-op's site to open!

The Artisans Co-Op is asking people to repost this graphic! If you're a handmade artisan and you're tired of #Etsy's nonsense, this co-op might be for you. You can find membership info at https://artisans.coop/membership/

A few days ago, we did Day 5 of the Grow the Co-Op Challenge for @coopartisans and hung a couple flyers! The one we put in our apartment's laundry room got taken down, so I'm anxious that I wasn't supposed to put it there, oops. #JoinArtisans

It's a little strange to say "We" when talking about a coop of artisans, but I joined so it really is accurate.

We're looking for handmade artisans who want to take back control from big tech. #JoinArtisans artisans.coop

If you know any, send 'em over. If you want to support them, join yourself. Sign up before the end of the month to be a founder and help us reach our goal of 100% self funding (no loans!)

We're a few weeks late, but we're joining the Grow the Co-Op Challenge by @coopartisans! We became a member of the co-op a few days ago - I think the idea is great, and I really want to help it succeed. In response to #Etsy's continuing enshittification, they're building a better marketplace for handmade items, owned by the people who use it.

If you're an artisan or a supporter of artisans, I encourage you to consider becoming a member-owner: https://artisans.coop/membership/

Made this piece for the @coopartisans fundraiser! I’ll be turning it into #stickers if anyone needs a little #chicken in their lives 🐔

One of the most exciting things to me (a nerd) about the @coopartisans is that they are putting so. much. thought into the entire process. Nothing is happening without forethought, discussion, and more discussion. It feels like a real team, a true cooperative of folks who want this to be an amazing place to sell and to buy.

As I said before, I'm a supporter only, but seeing what is happening on the back end has been so heartening. I can't wait until this is ready!

As I try to feel more and more like a real artist I'm excited to join @coopartisans ! This month there's Grow the Co-op Challenge to build a better handmade marketplace and I'd love to see some more artists there!

#Art #artistsonmastodon #JoinArtisans

Why are you excited about Artisans Cooperative? Today our challenge is to share a post or reel on social media about why you're excited about the Coop.

Make sure to tag us @coopartisans and use #JoinArtisans so we can see your posts and re-share them!

July is the last month for founding members to join @coopartisans as we push to raise money to bootstrap the building of the platform. I mean, yeah, you can always join later as a member, but think of the rush of being able to say you were there from the beginning? 😜

I joined as a supporter member, because I'm putting my money and time where my mouth is.

Let's build a better handmade marketplace. Together!
