I've been working on updating a decision making process in a #coop from #voting to #consensus inspired by #ietf #decisionMaking process when a colleague made me realize that consensus process is not compatible with many #neurodivergent cognitive styles. It disproportionately favors #Neurotypicals and extraverted ppl while putting more introverted and less verbal type people at a disadvantage. Also it's yet another "social capital" dominated decision making process. Less social capital - less likely you'll actually speak up against the crowd.

The "no one left behind" goal is not fulfilled by the "no loud opposition" decision process. What process does that? We're staying with the simplistic voting for now but adding a prolonged debate. Any ideas? How other #cooperatives do that? Especially #anarchist ones?

"Why Andy Burnham is no ordinary Labour prime minister"

"LONDON — It took more than a century, but Britain’s Co-operative Party now has one of its own in No. 10 Downing Street."

Open-source and federated software isn't enough. We need ownership, governance. And this don't need to be something big, a small server-lab for your building is enough. If these words had hit you, give a read:

El primer Primer Ministre cooperativista.

Andy Burnham és militant del Co-operative Party, un partit polític de centreesquerra que dona suport als valors i principis cooperativistes i que manté un acord electoral amb el partit Laborista des de fa 100 anys.

Esperem que pugui transformar el país, malgrat el capitalisme tan arrelat que farà front a qualsevol intent de perdre beneficis, poder i influència.

I love it:

Journalism Course: Reporting from the Margins

^{Unfilitered (Unfiltered)}

We'll be gathering at the @dweb camp in Alte Holle/Berlin from 8-12 July, together with people working on the crossroads of #opensource #decentralisation #cooperative #SSE Social and Solidarity Economy and #commoning

I'm really happy that we decided collectively to do this, when we were together at the @internetarchiveeurope in Amsterdam last February.

We'll be working together shaping the building up of the Democratic Tech Fund Below a list of the workshops and sessions we're part of (directly), while weaving connections with all people and communities working in solidarity towards a decent world, based on shared, democratic tech that works for our communities and not against us.

@mandarvaze if you just want to use the app (like drinking #Amul milk), you don't need to be a member.

But if you become a member, you share the ownership of the app and can vote to elect people who will govern the app - like deciding its #privacyPolicy or hiring developers to build features in the app.

You can also get elected to the leadership. The app will be run #democratically by its members.

This may look strange to you, but made possible by #FreeSoftware.

Anyone from #Maharashtra want to be an official member of the prav cooperative ?

Join at prav.app/become-a-member/

We had reached required 50 numbers once, but some people dropped out later.

So we only have 46 members now and need 50 to register as multi state cooperative.

Other states are welcome too, but you will have to wait longer till your state reaches 50.

#Kerala has the required minimum of 50 already, but more members makes us stronger.

Have you seen any app offering you to be an owner instead of just a user?

Not just the app on your device, own the full platform!

@prav is different, it is owned by users, so users collectively decide the policies and features of the app.

But this new experiment can sustain only if more users participate.

Would you join this new kind of platform owned by users?

The Prav Cooperative has hit yet another roadblock. This time it's not from governments or corporate overlords, but from spammers who misused the SMS OTP and drained our SMS balance.

We'd be happy to receive donations to keep the Prav flying. Read more and donate on our blog made by humans: prav.app/blog/funding-our-sms-…

For context, Prav is a messaging service for Android and iOS phones without vendor lock-in. It's standards compliant, uncles and enshittification resistant, and backed by a cooperative in India.
