A few little reflections on @thechosentv, which maybe you have noticed I can't get out of my head. A few categories of reasons:

* economic
* theological
* personal

Interesting reflection from @nycmesh on why they're not drawn to crytpo/tokenized incentives. https://www.nycmesh.net/blog/meshcoin/

@Matt_Noyes Which level (how many participants) is our meet.coop subscription?

Awesome introduction to @agreementengine, one of the crazy experiments we're doing at @metagov_project: https://thelastjosh.medium.com/introducing-the-agreement-engine-bf03b6d5c16c

"This is the primary defining characteristic of a community-owned platform: less investor ownership."

Really useful essay by @austinrobey_ on how to make good on the "ownership economy": https://ff.mirror.xyz/ZRsr5HZMfbHOEe2lIYoWinRCI65NlvDW_QzEu1rn7As

In case you don't subscribe to the Catholic Worker (sorry, not digital), here's the new/old article on the great Fr. Albert McKnight!

It doesn't say much on his incredible leadership in the co-op movement, but Elias from @SolidarityHall rectifies that: https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2021/03/02/albert-mcknight-black-catholic-economic-justice-240078

@Matt_Noyes What's our user limit on meet.coop?

This blog post about patent trolling is yet another reason to adore Boulder-area darling @sparkfun: https://www.sparkfun.com/news/3917

I want to appreciate Tom Perriello's rebuke to the Catholic bishops, but I keep feeling so stuck on the opening anecdote. https://nyti.ms/3wHin0Z

Please please: boycotting communion hurts yourself--and those of us who stay.

We miss you! The bishops probably don't.

New from me and @MannanMorshed in @Wired: all of a sudden Uber and Airbnb are wishing they were co-ops. We need more options for startups to #ExitToCommunity.

Phew @directcoops is getting super ambitious! https://youtu.be/_yIof2IqVIA

So fun to hear friends @rhyslindmark and @caspertk talking to each other!

Love the trickery with the Lord's Prayer; it is really a "model prayer" to play with!

It's always fun to see a big company like Apple make an announcement of a "new" feature that non-commercial, community-driven apps have been doing forever.

In this case, the innovation is disabling email tracking, which Thunderbird and FairEmail do by default.

Just got @lineageos 17 running on @myteracube beautifully. So much easier than on Samsung phones. Awesome to see a company that tries to make hacking easier.

My response to @GuerillaOntologist's post on the new California gig-worker co-op bill: https://geo.coop/blog/very-funny-co-op-bill-california#comment-1336

"it's a conversation that I think should begin from a posture of constructive critique, not dismissive ridicule."
