Coronavirus catalyzes growing wave of grassroots action despite social distancing https://www.shareable.net/coronavirus-catalyzes-growing-wave-of-grassroots-action-despite-social-distancing/

What are you doing during the quarantine? I have been reading a lot, check out the reading group for the DisCO governance model on loomio. https://www.loomio.org/d/AS0aPL3i/disco-distributed-cooperative-organization/42

What are you reading?

@LeoSammallahti For mutual interest media I am thinking how to reward authors. I thought about the Brave Browser and their attention token used to pay content creators automatically based upon how much attention they give to such content. You can earn attention tokens by viewing fair ads in the browser or buy they with money. I am thinking that mutual interest media paying member readers could be given attention tokens that they distribute to creators in a similar way.

When starting up a platform or organization, is it better to start as founder or investor owned and to make an agreement or contract to sell ownership of the organization to the community at predetermined prices at a certain time in the future (something like Exit to Community Futures Contracts) or is it more feasible to be Community owned from the start?

I am doing research to write about fictional interviews with people (Public intelectuals, Analysts, scientists...) from the futures. What about the near futures would you be most interested to know or experience? What "Futures of..." article would be most interesting to you?
Futures of Sociology
Futures of the solidarity economy
Futures history
Futures of Science and Technology
Futures of public policy
What would you put after "Futures of..."?

Discord can be challenging to learn so we are also using zoom video chatting. Discord allows continuous voice connectivity while also not utilizing as much the CPU, and offers a rich text messaging to accompany the voice chat. Also it offers multiple break away chat rooms that can amplify idea exchanges while not dominating the main voice channel. I suggest experimenting with this virtual coworking space to see if it really engages you and promotes your productivity.

"@GuerillaOntologist and I were coworking for a few hours yesterday using the Main Voice Commons room. I really enjoyed the process. I think it was a bit motivating to be working alongside others. Also he helped me think about some of the problems I am working on. It is great to have other people to work with that we can occasionally or like every hour check in and exchange ideas about our work. " Join us while you work 😀 at https://discord.gg/he8s9yD

I updated my profile description with interests like #activism. This also lists me in the directory for these interests https://social.coop/explore

It would be cool if we all made a semi-commitment to post and interact here all at the same time in synchronicity each week for one hour like every Saturday at 3 pm. Doing things together is easier than doing them alone. 😀
