Really interesting piece from my friend and collaborator at #GrowGood using mycelium as a lens for thinking about regenerative economics, mutual coordination, and distributed systems beyond extractive platform models.

#TIL about Other Tech Worlds are Possible, a comic about technological empowerment among radical workers in Brazils' MTST (English translation: Homeless Workers Movement);
Taxi + ride-hailing app services, run as platform co-ops in some places. But maybe councils could supply apps which aggregate rides from a range of vetted services? Including those that specialise in transporting the disabled?
It's akin to the way a competent council can supply public shopping areas, with a range of independently run food places All of which are inspected for anything that might poison you.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in this interview with Mansib Rahman and Dru Oja Jay! Radish is a local, multi-stakeholder food delivery #cooperative in Montreal, Canada that has been exploring supply-chain logistics for restaurants. #PlatformCoops
The sudden and unexpected shuttering of mtrx.nz and peertube.nz in the last couple of weeks is a stark reminder of how ephemeral community-hosted services can be. In the absence of third options, people are stuck with technical infrastructure offered either by corporations, or by informal group of volunteers. Who have every right to walk away at any time, leaving the people hosted on their servers scrambling for a replacement.
