@stephanie for anyone looking for a cooperative run instance, I recommend @coop .
@johnefrancis @coop yes it seems to be a good one!
@stephanie @coop it's a very proper coop, with legal registration as a Canadian coop, board meetings, volunteers, budget, communications forums etc. Runs on all-Canadian commercial services too.
@johnefrancis @stephanie @coop Do you have a link to this information please?
