(Also HUGE thanks to the tech comrades of @SocialCoop, especially @flancian and @eb, for figuring out increasing the character limit and saving me from the usual sad editing process cramming kite-flying announcements into 500 characters…)

Legally speaking, what is social.coop? Is it incorporated? Anybody know?
If not incorporated, does that mean all members are liable, and there is no limited liability shield?
I can't tell from their wiki and about info.

So now that Meet.Coop isn't working (they shut down the @SocialCoop instance and don't seem to be able to bring it back) wondering if anyone knows of another #privacy or #cooperative alternative for video conferences.

#socialcoop So our Meet.Coop instance has been down for 3+ weeks, and from what I see on https://forum.meet.coop/t/meet-coop-update-october-2025/1739/47, it's not clear when it will work, if ever.
Wondering what this means for our collective membership there?

Meet.coop update October 2025
Hi folks, update from me. I got a bit stuck because I haven’t been given access to the sso.meet.coop “master” realm so I can’t access any of the Keycloak admin settings. This is true even from the command line, see: Keycloak: How to add a new User - Mastertheboss I have securely handed over the SSO credentials to ColloCall that were being used on the de.meet.coop server and switched over the domain to point at the ColloCall server. Now we just need ColloCall to spin up the new server. Hopefull...

Also, what does the community do immediately when someone starts breaking the rules and causing trouble?
Does the rulebreaker get put in a sort of "time out" until a decision gets reached?

I'm also interested in some specifics of what the rules mean:
Does the prohibition against transphobia cover respectful critique of the ideas of the transgender movement or is it just about actual hateful speech?

How does #socialcoop work?
They make decisions collaboratively. But what is the mechanism? What sorts of things do they vote on?
How do they avoid Sybil attacks? Voting on whether new members are allowed to join?
How are rules decided upon?
