@mandarvaze@indieweb.social if you just want to use the app (like drinking #Amul milk), you don't need to be a member. But if you become a member, you share the ownership of the app and can vote to elect people who will govern the app - like deciding its #privacyPolicy or hiring developers to build features in the app. You can also get elected to the leadership. The app will be run #democratically by its members. This may look strange to you, but made possible by #FreeSoftware. #prav #cooperative #xmpp
