Could we have a worker-owned coop instead please.

@rysiek while you're working on a co-op - which I support with all my heart - is inbox.eu a viable email alternative for Proton?

srsly don't even have to invent anything or read any research papers
just hot startup idea: an existing enshittifying business, but as a worker-owned coop who try to make nice stuff
company, for people
not like we have any good employment prospects right now? alright let's go
@rysiek Seriously, I would help with this, especially if it paid even a little.
@rysiek i am trying to start something along those lines. Wasn’t sure which service to begin with but it looks like email might be a good 1st candidate. I only have one potential collaborator so far. We need to be 5 canadian citizen to found a coop in canada. I may do full corp anyway to bypass that. I also want it to NOT be a subscription but a “pay to own”. Monthly amount would count as investment. Need to find accountant and lawyer to sort out the corp structure to enable that. Participants would be a 3 types (maybe more) “employee”, “volunteer” and “member”. Each would have governing rights on decisions like pay scale etc. 1/n
@rysiek also want this to be more than just email but rather a new decentralized internet with decentralized governance. See some ramblings on my codeberg: https://codeberg.org/yeongno/cloudproject
@woozle @rysiek after careful read it looks like we share a lot of ideas. It’s great it implies neither of us is crazy 😊 I’m 💯 on the same page. If you are not located in Canada, we can parallel build in our respective regions and partner up. If I manage to get enough local collaborators I’m hoping to get going on setting up shop in my neck of the woods. We could raise funds by taking pre payment for service and once we reach a certain threshold we can get going. I’m well off enough I can probably front some cash as well.
@rysiek Not if no one is willing to form one and work in it.
@rysiek We have something like this over at https://kollektiv.email in Denmark. Very thankful for their work.
