cosocial.social pays extra for managed services, so they can save their volunteers time.

Avez vous suivi le développement de la "Nouvelle Place"?

J'ai adhéré comme membre à la coopérative, je crois qu'il pourrait y avoir des atomes crochus avec ce qui se fait ici sur #cosocial.

@dimshambler Welcome to #CoSocial! Time to polish up the profile and write an #Introduction post. We recommend that you follow this @coop account, we use it for community outreach and conversation.

At the moment I'm committed to the #Fediverse platform and to #CoSocial, our member-owned co-op instance, for my primary online social life. But at the same time I’d like #Bluesky to succeed, because the ATProtocol is technically interesting and having alternatives is good. Having said that, this doesn’t make me happy. I just don’t see how Bluesky is financially sustainable.

At the #CoSocial AGM there was some discussion about @kissane and @darius's recent governance report.

So of course I thought fall reading group to read it and chat about improvements for our coop, poll and details for members here: https://members.cosocial.ca/t/reading-group-for-the-governance-on-fediverse-microblogging-servers-report/323

If people outside CoSocial also want to join you are more than welcome! Just reply here! (Though fair warning I'm going to bring the discussion back to our coop)

@marcia Welcome to #CoSocial!

Now would be a good time to fill in your profile, write an #introduction post, and generally jump into co-op based online life!

It's a good idea to follow this @coop account - we use it for announcements and so on.

@amanjeev Welcome to #CoSocial! Time to polish the profile and pin an #Introduction post. If you have another Fedi account, there's a good migration guide at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

For #CoSocial members: should we include a land acknowledgment in our about page?

Hey CoSocialists! (Is that our demonym?)

We Torontonians want an XMPP server.
(404.city has been good, but getting flakier.)

Is having an XMPP service for cosocial something you would like/want/use?

(Free as in Freedom, encrypted, all the good stuff, of course)

I am moving from my old instance to #cosocial. I exported 153 bookmarks and 3500+ that I follow but, after importing the csv files, I only ended up with 5 bookmarks and about 500 that I follow. I have a collection of lists that I also want to move but I think I need everyone I follow in the system first. Are there limits to the numbers that can be imported? Have people had success importing lists?

Welcome to new #CoSocial member @mikael and his L420!
