Share whatever you feel like for alternative social media stuff you’re hanging out in Would be cool to see what you are all up to. Maybe also something to share via the newsletter so people know where to find coop people. No twitters, facebooks and the like for this thread
In response to this post, may I point to the following [Open Access] article, that deals with mainstream and alternative social media:
I am the founding co-editor of MGDR, and would love to see further discussion on this topic in our e-pages [which are in the ‘digital commons’ domain… not commercial]

Hey, I made Experimental CoTech self-hosted matrix room but I know people are lurking in other places on the web and it would be cool to know about those too! A listing of sorts for where to find different coops. I know people are on IRC, XMPP, Matrix and so on…might be nice!
