Dangit, I should have followed @eloquence earlier, now I might have to change mastodon instances :/
@greg_grossmeier @eloquence Wait why change instances?
@greg_grossmeier I hear that. I didn't join because I didn't know if I wanted to host my own, but then I figured out #SDF runs one, and I've been a member of SDF for over half my life, so it made sense. ^_^
@maiki Yeah, social.coop seems like a good direction for me, I wonder if there's other coops in the fediverse? I like that you joined sdf!
@greg_grossmeier all of my sites would be run by a coop if someone wants to fund raise and do all the paperwork for me.
I am waiting for my site to reach the critical mass where someone participating is like, hey, let's do that fund raising and paperwork!
Any day now...
@greg_grossmeier I hope you get a better user name.
Your current username kinda sucks. I feel like this is an okay thing to say, because you are decisive, and I know you are going to move! So let's talk about how bad that username is! 😜
@greg_grossmeier let's check if @Greg is taken!
Ah, okay @greg_grossmeier, you can't have it, it already belongs to @Greg. I should have known!
@maiki not allowing periods sucks, in my opinion.
@cwebber @greg_grossmeier @eloquence oh, are we doing this here? I was gonna take Greg aside some time and maiki'splain federation. But I guess we are doing it publicly!
@greg_grossmeier @eloquence @maiki Sorry I wasn't trying to challenge the choice to change instances, just wondering what Greg meant by their message of what was motivating a change. However, wanting to hang out on a coop is reasonable to me.
@maiki this account was a first test. Made no promise I wouldn't move
@cwebber @eloquence One of my main critiques and part of the down fall of statusnet/pumpio was community ownership. I like the coop model.
