I think a lot of people don’t know what co-ops are. I have been pretty left leaning my whole life and I only found out co-ops in my late 20s and the majority of people I talked to in real life have no idea what coops are. And from that few that do know, many dont know how big cooperatives can be.

For the uninitiated, I am sharing the [International Cooperative Alliances definition of coops here: https://ica.coop/en/cooperatives/what-is-a-cooperative

and the list of largest coops in 2023 here: https://ica.coop/en/media/library/research-and-reviews-world-cooperative-monitor/world-cooperative-monitor-2023

Screenshot of the top 10 coops based on turnover in USD from the report here:

Threatening connections to nuclear power plants is insane!

How can reading be no 1 most attractive and comic books are on the unattractive side of the list?

Mostly on Lemmy. I’m on Mastadon too. I don’t know if YouTube counts but I’m on there as well and is the only corporate social media I use consistently.

I find myself using Instagram more but only following a handful of creators, I don’t post or check on my feed. I deleted my Twitter and LinkedIn but can’t get myself to delete my Meta accounts because of the people that I have contact with on there. I hardly contact ppl but the sentimentally of the connections is something

I hadn’t consider that. I wonder if there is a way around this. Thanks for the answer!

I never knew. Thanks for answering!

I found this video explaining the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0zHU4E1XaE&t=123s

I would love to hear any Estonians experience here actually using it

Just came to say you’re a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone’s lives worse? again coward and an idiot

Thanks, I will export and import my profile. Hopefully things will be smoother in the future, but being able to export the some of the profile is better than nothing

Thanks for answering. I will do this

Thanks! Will do this

Thanks. I wonder why this is a low priority. If the people attracted t the fediverse want decentralization and interoperability, it would make sense that many people would want to migrate from one instance to another as easily and smoothly as possible.

Thanks again for the detailed answer

Nice! Seems to be mostly in North America for now but that would be great to have continental level unions

There asking for a raise of around $428 a month too.

How do we get a global union going to stop this BS everywhere? Maybe there already is one and I am unaware of it

“The Chennai plant is Samsung’s second-largest in the country and generates nearly one-third of Samsung’s annual revenue in India, which amounts to $12 billion (€10.8 billion).”

Jesus, the plant makes nearly $4 billion annually but these workers are only paid around 300 USD a month and want increases to 428 a month within three years.

Also, I always appreciated how he stood up for Lisa when the king was being disrespectful

I don’t get why anyone from any company would say no. Do libertarians even believe what they say? wouldn’t libertarians run companies be happy to take govt subsidies if it was offer to them?

Noooo!!! I just saw this and it’s 30 mins past midnight. I let down Earth, Wind and Fire

Homophobia unfortunately has a strong hold through most of Africa at the moment. Hopefully we will overcome it as a continent. Anyways, I wish Senegal success in curbing corruption and looting.

Thanks for your answer. You’re right, I was hoping to get more answers on the bigger picture change that would happen to society. Particularly since coops and credit unions are more democratic in nature, I wonder how different society would be with more direct control of how they money is managed.

Thanks for your answer!
