Hey peoples!

I'm planning on jumping instances to CoSocial in the next while - if you see requests from me to re-follow from that instance that would be me and not spam/phishing.  

I really like the cooperative model and democratic control that it provides - as well as predictable, stable funding to keep it going into the future.

Unfortunately, I've gotten sick! 🤒 Gutted that I won't be able to be there, but incredibly grateful that @Django / @django can be there to talk about #CoSocialCa in my place. I hope the event goes well!

If you’re looking for something Fedi to do in Edmonton today, our very own @dawn from #CoSocialCa will be on a panel with @chad to talk about the new book from @rwg “Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media”

⚠️ Attention #CoSocialCa members ⚠️

There will be extended downtime today while the server is migrated to Fedihost.

Expect that the server will be offline between 12PM and 5PM EST.

More details will be provided in the Member Forums.

Thank-you for your patience!

In Canada, the CBC might be the kind of entity to help run / coordinate “public service social media” as described in this Tech Policy Press article https://www.techpolicy.press/public-service-social-media-as-a-democratic-safeguard/

With interoperable standards and options for hosting, this could be a mix of shared infrastructure (& moderation) as well as individual orgs like Gander https://gandersocial.ca and #CoSocialCa
