Strypey<p>The sudden and unexpected shuttering of mtrx.nz and peertube.nz in the last couple of weeks is a stark reminder of how ephemeral community-hosted services can be. In the absence of third options, people are stuck with technical infrastructure offered either by corporations, or by informal group of volunteers. Who have every right to walk away at any time, leaving the people hosted on their servers scrambling for a replacement.</p><p>(1/?)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/cooperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cooperatives</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TechCoOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechCoOps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/PlatformCoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlatformCoops</span></a></p>

Neil Ashton<p>Worker <a href="https://social.coop/tags/cooperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cooperatives</span></a> often aspire to be more than good places to work, in particular trying to be integral and nurturing parts of the communities they're embedded in.</p><p>How much conscious effort have <a href="https://social.coop/tags/techcoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techcoops</span></a> made to redefine tech's relationship to communities? Durham, NC, has a serious gentrification problem, and the growing tech industry is a major contributor. What projects and partnerships could tech coops pursue to substantively change this?</p>
