@slowenough@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io @cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com I love the idea of neighborhood IT co-ops. Fo any actually exist? Are there resources to help set this sort of thing up?

@RedFacedUakari@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io @cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com There are definitely a bunch of co-op incubators out there, for example: https://belovedcommunityincubator.org/ I don't know of any neighborhood tech co-ops, but people's interest in switching away from big tech providers is pretty high right now, so I believe there is hope at least for many small tech co-ops to succeed even if they couldn't yet make a living doing tech infrastructure & support for literally just their neighborhood. #cooperatives
