Are you aware of any other running under the cooperative model like social.coop?

@saturno The Hostsharing Cooperative is planning to set up an instance.

@mattcropp We need a couple of days to set up the legal requirements of our instance. We're starting with a small special interest instance. I'll spread the news as soon as possible.

@saturno Probably, but what exactly is "the cooperative model"?

@peter @saturno If it fits under this rubric, it counts as a #coop: ica.coop/en/whats-co-op/co-ope

Key features include democratic member control and operation on a not-for-profit basis towards members by returning profit on the basis of use (the #PatronageRefund).

@saturno opensocial.africa are just getting set up and looking to use a similar model.

@saturno I think that glammr.us is trying the coop approach — @joshuatj can probably say more.

hi @saturno, @edsu is right, we are trying to run it coop approach slowly but surely. Take a look at our code of conduct, which was created collaboratively. glammr.us/about/more
