So, I'm the first three, but my main account is on CoSocial.ca, a cooperative membership organization. I would love to see more people involved with instances where they have a stronger sense of connection -- household, workplace, civil society. But I think we also have to think about how to have a healthy fediverse with low-affinity account servers.
@neuralgraffiti@evan Agreed, one reason I love maintaining this map is to highlight the cutural- and context-sensititive governance blossoming worldwide, redistributing community ownership http://mastodon-near.me
@evan agree, but I also think we can have both high and low affinity co-ops. Social.coop is like a small food coop. I'd like to see some Fediverse REIs (that don't fight unions). https://ownershipmatters.net/article/106
@evan I am my own instance owner. It's invite only for my friends so I don't have to really spend a lot of time moderating my server, just the servers and accounts we federate with.
@evan well, i'm not sure if we're friends, we have worked together and are both part of the mastodon organization on github, but ultimately they're just some stranger although it feels weird to call them that
@evan CCC/Chaos runs dozens of those, and I think it reflects our relationship. It's an odd case, I suppose. Some might call it volunteering. To others, it's friends and family.
@evan I'm not answering for me, but for the server I run. A lot of people know who I am because of our interest, but most haven't actually talked to me one on one.
I think there's a some sort of amorphous “internet community where people sorta know each other” category that applies to a lot of Mastodon instances. Too distant to be friends and family, but not strangers either.
