Welcome Email

Greetings!

Thanks for joining us! I want to welcome you to our community at Social.coop and to let you know that your application for membership has been approved! We're so glad you're here.

Social.coop is pioneering the process of participatory democratic ownership of platform coops and you have the power to shape the future of our platform and organization.

To set up your account on the Social.coop Mastodon, click this link. Once your account is set up, you’ll automatically be following the @Social.coop admin account. For your first toot, please write an introduction post that includes #introduction and any other hashtags of things that interest you.

Then, if you have not already, please set up your subscription payment on OpenCollective via this link. The fee is sliding scale $1-10/month, and setting up payments on an annual rather than monthly cycle saves our co-op a bit in terms of transaction fees.

Social.coop is a member of Meet.coop, the cooperative online meeting service. Get a free account via this link.

Our instance is democratically governed by its members, which now includes you! To be an effective co-operative, it's important that members participate in its governance by generally keeping informed on the goings-on and strategic direction of social.coop.

To participate in governance, please request to join the members' Loomio group via this link.

Note: when you register on Loomio, please include your Social.coop username in the title so we can recognize you as a member (see Instructions).

You’re getting this email from me because I’m the member of the Community Working Group Operations Team who is on-call this week.

Feel free to follow up with me if you have any issues. You can reach me by mentioning or direct messaging me on Social.coop at @handle and by replying to this email.

In Solidarity!
