[dawn@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/dawn%40cosocial.ca) presenting an interesting history of how [coop@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/coop%40cosocial.ca) came to be. I love how both we have representation from both CoSocial.ca and SocialBC! 

@julian @dawn @coop So I'm curious, does anybody talk about truth.social at the fedicon?

@julian

[dawn@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/dawn%40cosocial.ca) makes the point that it's important that cosocial members buy at least the share into the coop so as to have a stake in the coop itself. It's more of a commitment than just filling in a form. 

[johannab@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/johannab%40cosocial.ca) on Digital Third Spaces! Back in the day forums were that digital third space. Social media took that over and they've dropped the ball. Let's bring them back (with more forums obviously) 

Someone's got Mastodon open on their device with sound on and it keeps dinging, and I'm having a Pavlovian urge to check my phone. **I don't even use the Mastodon web app with**

@julian Same, over and over

Analog or digital, humans are the glue that holds together third spaces. 

[johannab@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/johannab%40cosocial.ca) making the assertion that fedi can make a better third space (digitally) 

@julian I hadn’t noticed the sound at all until I read this post, now I can’t stop hearing the ding too hahaha

[reiver@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/reiver%40mastodon.social) with a surprise demo of CrowdBucks! A new way to help fund the fediverse.  

@julian Is it the ice cubes app ding? I made that one 🤭

Congrats [chad@mstdn.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/chad%40mstdn.ca) for winning the FediCon swag competition. Move over stickers here's a MUG.  cc [evan@cosocial.ca](https://community.nodebb.org/user/evan%40cosocial.ca)

@julian @evan they were @jace’s creation!

@julian @chad @evan I have 2 of those! ,

@johnefrancis @julian @evan what a damn good looking mug!!

I think the “Moosetodon Movement” means more than just mstdn.ca, further solidified at #FediCon; a movement country wide to kick the Zuckerverse to the curb.

We still have a lot of work to do but I believe our small but mighty community is working toward that common goal.

@julian
TLDR; but if it's akin to a viable microparyment service, then let's use it to pay rights holders for their IP. It could be commission-free small amounts that are still greater than the royalties proprietary incumbents pay and could attract a critical mass through a/ better pay & b/ ethical tech.

I forget who caught me in the after party chaos and so wisely noted that Social Media != Social Network and among my FediUrbanism 2.0 revisions needs to be the idea that an online Social Network can possibly come closest to a true Third Space, but Social Media contains too many antithetical attributes.
