I've been thinking that, in addition to the glorious smaller-scale model of #Socialcoop, we need a model #fediverse instance that looks more like a medium-sized credit union. Things like:
- thousands of members rather than hundreds
- professional staff for tech, business, legal, moderation
- less active user participation in governance, but still democratic (e.g., board elections and occasional referendums)

@ntnsndr Buy mastodon.lol!
@ntnsndr No idea, hopefully just some reimbursement of past direct costs if their users ask nicely. I'd start from asking the existing moderators whether they still feel like continuing in the job with a different governance (where they'd be members of the coop). A complete regime change wouldn't be sensible anyway.
@nemobis @ntnsndr Interesting transition questions! If a user-owned social-networking co-operative were formed from the top-down, that is if an existing federated instance was purchased, how might the existing user-base be best transitioned to member ownership? Of course the questions are similar, but answers are different if converting to a worker-owned co-operative. #lawfedi #coop #admin
