Super interesting, on commons and coops and tech, and how a different world from the hypercapitalist model of tech is possible.

This is a good read on how we might transition big tech ownership into the hands of users... "What if a startup that successfully builds a community could opt for an exit to ownership by that community?"

"Grafting the lessons of old cooperatively owned companies to the online economy." Perhaps you remember the time, in the fall of 2016, when rumors swirled that Twitter might be up for sale. As a reporter, I’d come to depend on Twitter. I first started using it heavily during the Arab Spring in 2011, enabling me to follow events on the ground in real-time and connect with activists directly. It felt shocking to me that this tool, which had become so important to my work and my life, was also a commodity. The news reports said maybe Disney or Google would buy it, or maybe Salesforce. This all seemed so arbitrary.
