Some folks at #FOSDEM tried to buy the makeshift hats one of our team members brought, so I arranged for this prototype of an official hat to be made. It's a fisherman beanie with our logo embroidered. I'm trying to gauge interest here. Is this something you'd buy? (Poll in follow-up post)
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Please count me in, I'm interrested in having one of these.
Price?
Thanks!

I'm sorry to say it, but I am very skeptical of the Artist Corporation model that @Metalabel is trying to advance in Colorado. blog.metalabel.com/the-beginni…

I'll explain, as I did to Yancey.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

First, in Colorado we are already working on a similar hybrid model: the social cooperative. It is a global movement that we want to join. This effort is being led by groups with deep community investment. rmeoc.org/programs/social-coop…
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Second, it perpetuates what I think of as the original sin of US co-op policy: creating tools for specific sectors/industries/stakeholders rather than generalized tools.

This is why you can finance rural electric co-ops but not urban ones, for instance. It's dumb.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

I hope that we can build policy strategies that don't treat artists as special snowflakes (eg art.coop's work, or smart.coop) and that seeks to build on artist experience for a broader solidarity economy.

When that is the goal, I'm here to help.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

Hey Nathan, I really appreciate your critiques here. Cosmos.coop could use your guidance—we are actively building a creator-and-audience platform that centers on community self-determination & co-creation. We're all about the mass culture-shifting (indeed, world-shifting) power embodied in visionary art, conscious community stewardship practices, deep discourse, and distributed, diversified solidarity practices. As you know we're a CO-based L.C.A. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts about the state of the sector, and what kinds of strategies and key partners you'd recommend for us.
in reply to Caroline Savery

Well that's a longer conversation, and always happy to connect with you!
in reply to Nathan Schneider

I was wondering if you two had connected, I share your concerns. It feels like A Corps only make sense if you ignore coops. Which a lot of people in the US do, but clearly that's a choice and not just garden variety ignorance on his part if he asked you for advice

If you don't just wanna switch from one dependence to another, try to use the tools at hand and your brain to make an informed decision for your independent digital future.

But if you to lazy and naive, just believe what Nextcloud proclaim and go with that into your next dependency.

Today, the final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 begin.

We hope the European Parliament stands firm against any wording that paves the way for mass surveillance and censorship. Cyprus, currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU, aims to conclude the negotiations by June.

in reply to wakest ⁂

I didn't see any domains in usernames on the screenshots. I think Mastodon-style may just mean microblogging, like we used to say Twitter-style.

visiting my parents. their home does not feel like the one i moved out of but a lot of the things that have always been there are still there. somehow i feel the need to document the little changes everytime i'm there. trinkets i made back in school next to something new. or things i got them for their homeyears after moving out, like that glass brick lamp in picture two.

Hetzner, which many instances rely on, just announced a major across the board price hike. A 30% increase isn’t minor.

For larger companies it’s a budget line. For small Mastodon instances, it’s the line between sustainable and underwater.

When servers jump from €49.99 to €64.99 and storage rises too, admins feel it first. Many already subsidize costs.

Some will downsize. Some may shut down.

Decentralization still runs on invoices.

Support your instances.

I'm looking forward to the #Fediforum "Growing the Open Social Web" workshop on Monday.

I'm extremely dubious about a lot of the submissions. There are a lot of untested hypotheses in this list:

fediforum.org/2026-03-growing-…

I hope that people's expectations are geared towards experimentation, data collection, and iteration, rather than confirming some of these assumptions.



As I mentioned earlier today, after 10 years we'll be closing @weareopencoop on May 1st.

If we'd been shutting down this time *last* year, it definitely would have been for lack of work. But, weirdly, this year it's a confluence of factors.

Desde @articaonline reseñan “Inteligencia artificial: jugar o romper la baraja”, de Marga Padilla

El libro propone una tercera vía: hackear la IA desde adentro. Rechaza tanto el hype catastrofista como la negación del problema. Lo que importa no es la máquina aislada sino su ensamblaje con relaciones de poder. Y el error "técnico" siempre lo pagan quienes menos poder tienen.
