Chad LoderIt would be a good time to put serious financial backing behind Black-owned social media platform cooperatives. Yeah?
Joshua Lander@chadloder I don’t know. I think it’s always a good time to put serious financial backing into Black-owned businesses — but I fundamentally don’t think social media ought to be a business.
@josh I tend to agree we should support folks experimenting with new models, that's why I said "cooperatives" rather than companies or businesses!
@chadloder Black-owned, non-profit, renewably-powered data center full of SBCs (like Raspberry Pi) offering free Mastodon instances to members of the BIPOC community.
I would fund the hell out of that.
@chadloder (Hell, I would even volunteer to admin it.)
