@BeechMtn My personal goal for #socialcoop is for it to be a hub of #coop practitioners (staff, developers, volunteers, academics who study it, supportive activists), so people who fit under that umbrella are those who I actively recruit.

For people not in that boat, I still encourage Mastodon, but try to either think of which instance they might most enjoy, or direct them to joinmastodon.org

@mattcropp @BeechMtn I tend to agree, but I think maybe the way forward is to make social.coop a more general coop instance, and then spin off another coop-specific instance (or sub group??) for people under the coop umbrella.

@Matt_Noyes @BeechMtn I guess I'm not sold yet on the long-term relative viability of general purpose vs. community-specific instances. Kinda a re-tread of the narrow vs. wide #commonbond debate in #creditunions, in a way... ;)

@mattcropp @BeechMtn I hear that, my concern is to build cooperative instances -- if there are other coop instances to which we can refer people, great.
