🔥 Big update: the PeerTube co-op idea is taking off.
Yesterday I shared the proposal publicly—and the response has been outstanding. Seven people have already stepped up to become founder-members, ready to build a member-owned, democratically governed alternative to corporate video platforms.
What started as a loose idea is now a real plan—and credit goes to @Crissy@tech.lgbt for pushing me to turn the idea into a proper proposal.
We’re at the early stages: talking with existing Fediverse co-ops, and I’ve reached out to the BC Co-op Association to guide us through incorporation. Next up: drafting bylaws, shaping governance, and laying a solid foundation together.
Once incorporated, member-owners will decide everything—policies, hosting practices, monetization models. This isn’t just another social media platform. It’s a co-operative effort to build something transparent, resilient, and ours.
If this speaks to you—if you want to help shape a new, community-owned video platform—get in touch. This is how alternatives get built.
