We primarily operate a [[wikipedia:Mastodon_(software)|Mastodon]] server. Our members fund our operations and decide how to set our community policies, steward our data, and manage our shared technologies. Members also provide the labor to run Social.coop at all levels. | |||
We have a [[Code of conduct]]. | |||
Social.coop was founded in 2017 in the wake of the [https://buytwitter.org/ BuyTwitter] campaign. Since then, we have worked toward the goal of placing ever more of our online social lives under good cooperative governance. To get a sense of how we operate, or to start your own fediverse cooperative, see our guide on "[[How to Make the Fediverse Your Own]]." | If you are interested in joining Social.coop, please refer to our '''[https://join.social.coop/registration-form.html registration form]'''. | ||

== Common questions == | |||
1. Are there any coop jobs available to me? How do I find out about those? | |||
There are a number of working groups involved in the [[Operations]] of the coop - check them out at that link. We intend to rotate in members regularly to prevent burnout, so please reach out to any group you are interested in participating in. | |||
2. How do I ask a meta-question about the server or propose a change to Social.coop policy? | |||
Great question! [[When and how to use Threads, Polls, and Proposals]] | |||
3. Where does all the money go? | |||
Our [https://www.loomio.com/d/xqw7FtUT/toward-an-annual-budget budget] was outlined and discussed in [[Loomio]]. As of writing, less than a 1/3 of funds go to stipends for various [[Operations]] groups, a little less than that is contributed to allied cooperative and technology projects (determined by the [[Finance Working Group]] .) The rest is split between reserves and hosting the server, paying for [[Loomio]], [[Meet.coop]], and other [[Platforms]]. | |||
4. Is this instance based in the US or somewhere else? | |||
Our [[Platforms]] page says our hosting is [[wikipedia:Hetzner|Hetzner]], which appears to be based in Germany. | |||
5. What's the Matrix chat thing and should I be on that? | |||
[[File:Organizational map of social.coop.png|thumb|alt=An organizational map of social.coop|An organizational map of social.coop]] | [[Matrix]] is an open chat network, where we have a few rooms that you might be interested in. In particular, the Open Chatroom hosts a small amount of meta talk about the coop, and the tech chat is probably where to go if the server is down and you want to see what is happening.[[File:Organizational map of social.coop.png|thumb|alt=An organizational map of social.coop|An organizational map of social.coop]] | ||
