We were thinking the same thing. Curious that @nytimes@twitter.com shows these platform co-ops as isolated projects.
See http://platform.coop for much more.

So excited to see this story about the @TheDriversCoop@twitter.com!
This isn't an isolated case. See the networks working to build a cooperative new economy: @NewEconomics@twitter.com @start_coop@twitter.com @Zebras_Unite@twitter.com @platformcoop@twitter.com https://twitter.com/NewEconomics/status/1398385943640526849

For too long, New Yorkers have been paying @optimum@twitter.com sky-high prices for low quality service! No wonder 2.2 million New Yorkers don’t have high-speed broadband at home. They can’t afford it. Who is watching out for NYers? @bradlander@twitter.com @PeoplesChoiceC2@twitter.com @mayawiley@twitter.com @NYCMayor@twitter.com

Amazing news from Drivers' Coop in the @nytimes@twitter.com: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/technology/cooperative-uber-lyft.html

"A scrappy band of Uber drivers, a union organizer, and an Uber operations manager have joined forces to launch an experiment in cooperative economics in New York City" #OwnOurWorkplaces

In this @PublicSeminar@twitter.com essay, Casper Gelderblom and I are thinking about an alternative to Amazon. It's not what you may think.

@ajscholz@twitter.com @coopkungfu@twitter.com Starting 2-3 years ago I started seeing a variant of the #platformcoop, the #networkcoop. Some of the same challenges but raising new questions re economic mechanism and leadership. I smell a panel on coop design trends...

"On paper it’s the perfect solution, but it’s a bit more complicated for the workers who actually power the platform to see how they benefit, which is what matters"

Love the quote and still wondering where that leaves the billions of people in today’s India, Brazil, Poland, Hungary, etc. Can people succeed in building protections without support from the national government? What would examples of ‘success’ look like? Respond here. https://twitter.com/berggrueninst/status/1384232331272146944
