Is there any interest in hosting a Mastodon instance? Iād help with such an effort but couldnāt be a technical lead. (At least not initially).
Recently stepped up my activation in this space. Full of cooperatorsā¦

Somewhere between us being on a rando server and self-hosting would be for Resonate to have their account be on Social.coop. Being on that server would mean that Resonateās messages would get high visibility among other co-ops and advocates on Social.coop ā and it would save us the logisitical energy that self-hosting would demand. Our membership would also support Social.coopās mission.

It is interesting to consider the opportunities. Many co-operators work from a great variety of instances.
If the co-op provided a server perhaps accounts could be offfered as a perk of membership?

Sounds like a lot of work to me and Iām more into @Hakanto 's proposition for now because it just seems more coherent with the overall structure of Mastodon and how to channel it into a useful space for us for now at least. I donāt think our current status warrants to think about things like creating our own server, distributing memberships etc. It all seems good in the abstract or long term with a large user base but with our little current community, something more straightforward that allows us to interract with other co-ops in the space feels more aligned with our immediate goals.

Sorry if my reply is a bit ignorant since Iāve been popping in and out of this thread and merely skimming posts, but do we have a Mastodon account now that I should also be posting content to when I create a social post for Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.?
If so, would someone be able to DM me the login info so I can also post on their while I work to make some posts from THIS BOARD in the coming weeks?

Hi there ā is this still relevant? I just joined resonate as a listener ā because Iām very interested in cooperatives and Iām motivated to invest my time to help wherever I can. Iām a conceptual artist from Germany ā simonfreund.xyz ā but I have been running my own fashion brand for almost eight years, so I have lots of experience in building a brand, getting ācustomersā and making your voice heard. So, please let me know if thereās anything I can help with and I will try to do my bestā¦ Have a nice Sunday and please get in touch, so I can start helping out : ) Simon

Hey Simon, welcome! Things are a bit in flux right now, but weād love to have you. As far as I can tell, we donāt have anything that resembles a content plan but feel free to propose something and we can support you in whatever way you need.

Hey Simon,
Thank you for reaching out!
Iāve been working on communication things mainly as of late, and although things have been pretty slow the past few months as the devs work to re-orient things on the back end, comms work is starting to pick back up with our annual general meeting on the horizon.
With that said, maybe we can jump on a (video) call sometime next week to talk more and see how we can work together?
Appreciate the offer to volunteer, and Iād be happy to let you know where things are at.

Thanks for taking all this into consideration. If all goes well Iāll be in Hongkong on Friday though - throughout most of December. My flight is leaving on Wednesday from Germany. This makes things even trickier right? Iām happy to go great lengths though, so let me get to Hongkong and then Iāll be in touch again if I can make the proposed time : ) Would you mind sharing your email or Signal or something? Thank you and sorry for the inconvenienceā¦
Also, if thereās anything I can do for resonate in Hongkong - let me know

Thanks for following up on this @tshiunghan. We just had the meeting. After getting to know each other and speaking about all kind of things related to cooperatives in general and resonate ā we decided that we will fully concentrate on communicating the Annual General Meeting until the end of the year with the aim of having the highest participation possible.
The main questions which I currently have are:
ā who do we want to invite? Is the meeting open to everyone, or resonate members only?
ā what platform do we use for the meeting itself?
ā what is our goal in terms of attendance? Like an actual number ā 10, 100, 1000?
So first, I would like to figure this out. Maybe you can help with that? Then we can go from there making sure the relevant people are invited and the meeting is communicated accordingly : )

@Hakanto @richjensen @LLK ā Hello ā my name is Simon and Iām a new volunteer from today on. Nice to meet you : )
I followed your discussion about Mastodon and / or social.coop and applied for an account on social.coop in the name of Resonate today. They say they will be in touch within a week, so I will let you know once the account is active. I believe itās a no-brainer to be active there for now and I also see potential in having our own server, but only in the future when thereās more interest in both ā Mastodon and Resonate.
@Sam_Martyn ā Iāll share the login with you, once itās active and / or will help you to post there.
@richjensen ā Thanks for bringing this up, if youāre still interested letās jump on a call and see how we can get the most out of Mastodon together or if you want to take it over completely once itās active ; )

Hey Simon,
Iām so glad @Hakanto made a separate post to address your questions, because I didnāt have a clue how to respond. Iāve only been a member for a few months and mostly been participating in the Dismantling White Culture working group and the product check-ins.
I have limited experience with email marketing so hoping to support you and @Sam_Martyn any way I can.
