So I'm suggesting a solarpunk, open-sourcy, cooperative, web-based thing. Probably run from an existing FOSS cloud like OVHCloud, because cracking the cost of entry for a data center is... for later.

With the right group of people, the product or service is open to debate. A business needs to solve some problem out there, and there's lots to choose from.

I'm not asking for money, and I don't have much myself. I'd like to hear what people think, is any of this interesting at all?

@BillySmith That's cool, although it requires joining the Webarchitects co-op to use their git, which is less cool.

It's the same as joining the Mastodon instance we are talking on. :D

They have to do some form of gatekeeping/moderation to operate safely.

For individuals the membership is free. They only charge for organisational use. :D

@BillySmith I know, but I had an initial 'ick' factor.

@mpotter

It's possible to browse their public repo's. :D

This includes the scripts used for our Mastodon instance, and the GitLab code their repo is running from. :D

@mpotter

I slap my forehead thrice! 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

We may already be members via Social_Coop :D

Similar to Meet_Coop... :D

@BillySmith I'm also the kind of person who may have joined at some point in the past, and later forgot.

@mpotter

The number of times where i have read something interesting, gone to bookmark the page, and, found that i had already bookmarked it, is enteraining... :D
