General question for social.coop -- how should we make decisions about which tools to use?
For example, in the CWG, I created an #etherpad doc on #Disroot and then asked people working on that doc to use it.
When it came to switching to #gitlab on #webarchitects, we discussed it at length.
In a recent phone chat one person suggested google hangouts and others suggested Zoom and we agreed to use the latter.
Do we need some protocol or etiquette on this?

I'd personally go for a list of "desired traits" like for instance:
1. Open source
2. Federated
3. Accessible
4. Cross platotrm
Etc...
If two comparable services are proposed, the one checking more boxes in the list is selected.

👍 Probably need to add Usability
@mayel @Matt_Noyes @Antanicus These are good suggestions. I think we should keep our community free from Google and their ilk wherever possible.
