One of my first steps in the process of establishing Bridge St hosting co-op will be to set up a newsletter on SubStack. Our newsletter will offer timely and accurate news on the evolution of the fediverse and other user-respecting, decentralised tech, and all articles will be free to read. But anyone who values the service, and can afford to give us a paid subscription, will be helping to fund the bootstrapping of the co-op.

@freeschool For me, models like (eg meet.coop) and (eg @snikket_im ), are a way of hacking "business" to serve our needs for economic sustainability in the short-medium term. In the long term, I believe we need to develop a that can replace extractive capitalism. But those models, as well as helping to sustain our work in the short term, can be part of organizing towards that longer term goal. (5/5)

@takloufer
> Being commercially irrelevant is the only defense

What about having other sustainable revenue models? Platform cooperatives, social enterprises etc. Maybe web 1.0 got corporatized because donation-based services run by unpaid hobbyists can't keep up with platforms using VC money to pay fulltime salaries to staff?

If we want to mainstream decentralized online services, we need ways to separate the work of running a service node (eg a fediverse instance) from running the hosting infrastructure ("the server"). The founders of Sandstorm were on the right track. Maybe what they were missing was platform co-op structures to run the underlying hosting and make sure they at least cover their upstream costs?

@astrojuanlu I agree with you on both points. 1) becomes more achievable when there is sufficient funding for dev work, which is more likely with 2) is in place. The platform cooperative movement is actively working on addressing both points.

I found this useful. Of course the bit at the end on platform coops and other commons-type approaches needs to be expanded.
