a friend of mine works as a pet-sitter, and few days ago she wrote a negative feedback about a huge scam from a company that sells dogs with fake pedigrees (fostering the reproduction of dogs with genetical diseases, etc). Now this company started slanders her over social profiles. She seems to be up to go ahead and go with layers if necessary, tough she has not so much money and experience meanwhile the company is quite big and seems used to manage with all this shit. Any suggestion?
In liquid, cooperative based organisations, several times I am experiencing that consensus is some how imposed by multiple factors (charisma, money, experience, money, power, money, factions, money, strategy) and forking is seen as a failure, ostracised or at least kept as last bullet. What I am becoming conscious of, is that the ability of forking and most of all to manage forks and connect back together is a thermometer of the maturity level of any communities
As a product developer that wants to develop an alternative business model, based on solidarity and co-op values, I should rather think to my end users as network of communities I want to be part of, and customise the product to suit their specific needs, rather than develop a tool for generic customers pools.
Capitalistic economies focus mostly on finding a way to accumulate the surplus inside a specific ecosystem, and when we plan a business, we're mostly accustomed to develop it in that way. Cooperative-solidarity economies on the other way, focus on creating a **constant flow of value** based on participants needs and ecosystem capacity... It is a pretty huge switch - at least for me - to focus on creating a value flow, instead that a value reserve for my projects and my life...
How to deal with #hate and #harassment? I'd like to read some resource, ideally about positive approaches and if they come from #feminism movement even better...
I am designing the inventory section of #Agent, our app to track resources flow between communities. I'd love to take inspiration from RPG Inventory system, 'cause they are awesome from a UX point of view and I guess (hope) they would fit quite well with actual UI.... Any suggestions? Do you remember some RPG with awesome inventory? :*
"As you know, I am stronly against goal oriented entities bigger than ~30 people, intentional communities bigger than ~150-250 people and general communities bigger than ~2500 people (exact number pending scientific verifications)." From another conversation, on another medium
We just released #oce website. https://opencoopecosystem.net/ It contains links to our documentation, to our app used inside #faircoop to manage economic activities inside the ecosystem and a link to our little, fresh component library ( https://kit.opencoopecosystem.net/ ) All is evolving - all is precarius <3
