@z428 it's a bit of a #Catch22. There are potential customers, like you, unable to find a reliable vendor. There are also heaps of ethical tech #cooperatives out there desperately looking for paying customers (eg I recently met some people from #WebArchitects and #CoLab).

@z428 These coops are mostly working in a consultancy model, where they expect an organization to approach them with a set of requirements and a stack of cash. That works for larger companies and non-profits, with established revenue streams, but not for individuals, families, community groups etc. I think what's missing is a product-based approach, like what #Loomio and mastodon.host offer. Here's the service, here's the problem is solves for users, here's what it costs.
