Happy birthday to #SocialCoop, and thanks to everyone keeping my local feed full of #birthday wishes today. So lucky to share an instance with you all.
(CommonsCloud is a platform coop combining Discourse, NextCloud and Phabricator. They're trying to build an online collaboration platform for the solidarity economy.)
Have you heard of repair cafes, local meeting places where people come together to fix stuff that would otherwise end up as #waste? According to https://repaircafe.org/ there are more than 1,500 repair cafes world-wide -- a growing, noncommercial global movement.
This article in The Guardian from last month gives a good introduction: "Can we fix it? The repair cafes waging war on throwaway culture"
Good morning everyone! Today's a very special day for social.coop: it is our first anniversary! Let's celebrate it all together during the Anniversary Toot-up later today(11am-12pm EDT)! 🎂

Mastodon is wonderful and the concept of #federated#socialmedia is great, but realistically the average person isn’t going to adopt the current form, it’s just too technical to set up, and they are used to polished #frontend experiences.
I have ideas for solving those problems, but I need passionate folks to #help.
Anyone out there crazy enough to work with me on this? Anyone already working on it who’d be willing to hear my ideas?
