On a model for building sustainability into the Fediverse where there won't be ads and you are not the product 👇🏾
"CoSocial is yet another fediverse outpost running Mastodon and with a blog. What’s different is that it’s Canadian, and a member-owned co-operative. Both of those matter to me, but the co-op part is the real story.
It’s not complicated: $50/year and you’re a member/owner, with an account at cosocial.ca. *There’ll never be ads*. Nobody will ever get rich. A few people might make a living, down the road. *You will never be the product*."
