Even before [https://threads.net Threads] launched rumors were circulating that Meta's new social media platform would support the ActivityPub protocol, which would allow it to interoperate with Mastodon instances like SocialCoop's. These rumors prompted quite a bit of discussion in the SocialCoop community, which was initially focused on whether or not SocialCoop should sign on to the [https://fedipact.online/ Anti-Meta Fedi Pact] These discussions largely took place in [[Loomio]], which are linked to in the timeline below.

As a result of [https://www.loomio.com/d/AZcJK6y2/discussion-support-the-anti-meta-fedi-pact/344 the poll on July 22, 2023] SocialCoop's Mastodon instance is currently set to ''Limit'' Threads, not to ''Suspend''. This effectively means that posts from Threads accounts are invisible to anyone who hasn't chosen to follow them. But users are not blocked from following Threads users.

Operations

2024-06-19T13:37:37Z

Flancian: /* Working Groups */

Social.coop's official governance takes place mainly on its [https://www.loomio.org/socialcoop/ Loomio space]. To manage day to day operations, the community empowers some members to participate in working groups.

The various working groups use [[Calendars|shared calendars]] on [[May First Movement Technology|May First]] to organize meetings.

== Working Groups ==

* [[Community Working Group]] - moderation, and anything concerning members and outreach.
* [[Finance Working Group]] - payments, budgeting, fundraising, and related planning.
* [[Legal Working Group]] - oversight on legal matters
* [[Tech Working Group]] - all things hosting, site maintenance, and development.
* [[Organizing Circle]] - new in 2024! Aims to coordinate the work of working groups and ops teams, providing a space for ongoing strategic conversation and facilitating greater member participation in both operations and governance.

Working groups (and their affiliated ops teams) are elected from and accountable to the membership, to execute the roles and responsibilities needed to keep social.coop running. They have greater administration access than would be afforded general membership, but work according to policies provided by their corresponding working group.

The groups are self-managed. Some are paid with stipends, while others volunteer.

* [https://www.loomio.org/p/eoZSHn7p/creation-of-admin-ops-teams The proposal to create admin op teams itself], and
* The [https://www.loomio.org/d/URY9AKci/creation-of-admin-ops-teams related discussion thread].

As a general principle rather than a strict rule: in order to mitigate either burnout, or power accruing through the development of specialized knowledge, the rotation of team members is sought, along with a mutual education approach in which people who have the skills needed for the operations train their replacements.

== Budget ==
Starting in 2024, Social.coop has an annual budget for the full organization.
