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?

Hello! Time for an introduction from our blog! We are a worker-owned cooperative delivering by cargo bike in Edinburgh, that has been operating for around a year and a half. We are interested in fairer, better paid work for delivery workers, bicycles, worker owned cooperatives, bicycles, reclaiming public space from cars, social enterprises, bicycles, a less polluted and quieter Edinburgh, and bicycles.

We are looking for like minded people in Edinburgh, who want a better, more equal city that works for everyone, not just those who can afford or want a car. Also looking to connect with the many great projects and social enterprises in Edinburgh, apologies if we haven’t followed you (yet), it isn’t deliberate.

We are a diverse mix of mathematicians, scientists, and musicians. Reach out if you are interested in zero emissions deliveries, would like to get involved, or even just finding out more about our project.

"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."

Info perso (#insider !) au passage : c'est aussi un acte #militant que de s'étendre aussi rapidement en périphérie !

Les voitures du centre-ville sont bien plus facilement rentables, elles financent celles des zones moins denses au moins pendant les premières années de celles-ci.

C'est aussi parce que les #Citiz sont des #coopératives avec un but social que cela se passe comme ça, un opérateur à but #lucratif se concentrerait sur l'hypercentre.

Quan una cooperativa acaba el seu cicle vital, pot ajudar a fer crèixer les noves.

És l'exemple de Manlleu, de vendre pa i queviures a vendre #energia.

Un aprenentatge per aquelles #cooperatives en dificultats: integrar-se amb les activitats que sí funcionen per a reforçar el model cooperatiu.

A #Mallorca recentment tenim el cas del tancament de #Coanegra a #Marratxí, que podria regenerar-se amb @altrallum o @terranostra.

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.

Does anyone know of a social dance that's operated on a co-op or similar model?

I'm trying to start a contra dance near Smyrna, GA and, being me, I want to give people a sense of ownership so they'll be more likely to pitch in and come back week after week. The best way I know to do that is to make it a co-op, but I don't want to limit who can be an owner based on their ability to financially contribute. I'm hoping some existing dance has a good model already that I might be able to apply or learn from.

My current thoughts are: 🧵

#AskFedi #CoOps #Cooperatives

Si qualcú pel Fedivers té #Holaluz, li recoman que se passi a la cooperativa energètica de la seva zona.

A #Mallorca, cap a @altrallum!

A altres bandes, teniu:

@SomEnergia
@goiener
@LaCorrienteCoop
@astuenerxia
@nosaenerxia
@SOLABRIA
@energetica @energetica@mastodon.social

I altres que encara no tenen perfil aquí.

El govern espanyol inicia el procediment per inhabilitar Holaluz i traspassar els seus clients.

I'm in Berlin until Sunday

If you're into #freeSoftware, #decentralisation, #cooperatives, #socialism, #anarchism, #workersUnion, #rojava or other rad stuff; I want to meet you for a nice discussion over a beer, tea, club mate or beverage of your choice

I'll be dropping by the #dwebcamp site, probably on Saturday (but won't enter because it's too expensive), so if you're around Alte Hölle we could also meet there.

About me: I'm a bit under 30 yrs old, I present mostly masculine. I organize for grassroots democratization in all aspects of society; political, social, economic, technological. Free technology enjoyer and contributor.
I believe we need to build international bonds between emancipatory movements, and that our movements need tech under movement control (no big tech).
